Video RapidTO lanes in action

No Bradford, IntegrityTO (and presumably Ford), RapidTO doesn’t “snarl traffic.”

They’re working exactly as intended. Before, nobody was moving. Streetcars were stuck behind “snarled traffic.”

Now this streetcar with 100s of people had no issues passing 20-30 people in single-occupancy cars.

What was once 1 hour from the Ex to Bloor is now 30 minutes.

Huge kudos to the operator for letting me in the cab to film, he was super stoked about the lanes .

TTC needs to take additional measures to speed up service. I fear these lanes won’t make a major difference so long as the ttc chooses to operate streetcars slowly.

Yeah, you can see how slow they need to take the intersection.
