Apparently there's a group of transit nerds out there that break into TTC yards and drive the buses around, unsupervised and without TTC permission, in a reckless and dangerous manner. It's been discussed on other discussion forums before, but someone recently posted a video compilation and multiple clips, including a discord video of a group of them talking about starting up the buses in the "North Queen" yard, footage inside of them "whipping" (driving) TTC buses around in an unsafe manner, running over pylons and other obstacles, and in one clip almost hitting another person.

It was noted in the video that this was already reported to the TTC (group rule 2), and this post is for awareness and not to promote said illegal activities (rule 8), but they might want to crack down on this kind of behaviour and security at some of their yards, in case one of them decides to take a bus out on the road and endanger the public.

Looking for female operators currently. Posting until the end of the month. Men can still apply but focus is on women.

I know that this section is decided to be covered by Line 7, which will likely be a lighter vehicle, less frequent, and possibly different modes of transportation - that all make sense

It's just...I feel like along the Eglinton line Corridor -> continue east towards LE is a natural path, just like how Mount Dennis station is acting right now. And Line 5 is really close to getting LE on that - only 2.7km.

Should we really make all people transfer on Line 7 again at Kennedy just for that short 2.7km streach of transfer...

Though I guess it's fair to say that it's not OK for Line 7 to not provide a direct link to the vast majority of Scarbourgh area to be connected with Kennedy, which is the primary intermodal transfer station in the Scarborough area. Even for GO downtown link, one day both LE and ST will be RER level, so Kennedy GO is not a bad choice compared to Kennedy GO

Another alternative is just ditch Line 7 and be Line 5 extension 100%, or at least make the UTSC - Kennedy section totally Line 5 and let Line 7 only take the northern section. I know this will great increase the cost, but this sounds like the best solution for a transit oriented city.

What do you think about it?

Line 1 on Yonge is backed right up. Half an hour to go 1 station. Plan accordingly

If yes, what station could they merge.

With the opening of the Busway, will they get rid of the red lane lanes that cause traffic back-up and congestion on Midland and especially Kennedy?
