Don't forget Torontonians, the TTC is completely free tonight from midnight to 4 am. Go ahead, get drunk and stupid as you ring in the new year, then leave your car and TTC it home. The free ride tonight is thanks to Capital One. That's the second time this year
If you grew up in Toronto, you remember the TTC Student Cards. You had to show this card when you paid student fare to ride the TTC. Every fall the TTC would come to our school and take our picture. That's where the trouble began. In typical dumb ass teenage
The TTC is unveiling an ambitious blueprint for a light rail system that would crisscross the city far beyond existing and planned subway lines. Here's a map of the network of new routes, which include: Don Mills – Steeles Avenue to Bloor-Danforth SubwayEglinton Crosstown – Kennedy Station to Pearson AirportEtobicoke-Finch West – Yonge
In order to work on the tunnel roof between St. George and Bay stations, the TTC is rerouting westbound trains through the Lower Bay subway station. The Lower Bay station is an abandoned platform that was only used for six months in 1966. They now use it to train new
She's workin'! Way back on October 11 I wrote about the new infotainment screens that were installed at Jane Station. They were there, but they weren't operational until today. That only took a little over three months. Jane's turned on and rarin' to go and I couldn't be happier.
Last spring I wrote a little love letter to the TTC. Although I was gushing at the time, I gave the TTC some much deserved lumps with regards to their website. Finally, if you want to see how out of touch TTC marketing is in this new age of viral
Forget that boxers or briefs question. The Toronto equivalent is far sexier. Tokens or tickets? I'm a tickets guy. I keep them in my wallet where the rest of you keep your paper money and I haven't lost one yet. Whenever I use tokens they get mixed up with my
Artur wants me to mention the TTC swag suggestions made by Torontoist. I've checked it out and it's no doubt hipper stuff than what the TTC sells. I've been complaining about the TTC marketing effort for a while now. It's sadly out of touch. A tee shirt with the "Mind
I recently wrote about the pathetic news ticker at the Jane TTC subway station. The clock was 40 minutes fast, the ticker didn't actually deliver news and other subway stations had been outfitted with modernized information screens long ago. Late last week, those modern screens were indeed installed at Jane
For most of my life, the Jane TTC subway station has been my home station. I think the TTC needs to show Jane station a little love. Many stations now have those great information screens that give you the news, weather and time while you wait for the next subway.
The TTC is ordering 234 new subway cars and they're having a contest to name them. To enter, send an email to namethetrain@ttc.ca with the train name, your name, a daytime telephone number, your address, city and postal code. I've suggested "veloCiTy" with the stylized TTC "T". Don't
Yesterday, in sweltering hot, hot heat, thousands of Torontonians cursed out the TTC and their illegal wildcat strike. There was record heat, a smog warning, a humidity warning and, for many, a long walk or bike ride to work. It was a great way to start the week. Not long
Earlier in the week, RobotJohnny.com posted this Anagram TTC Map. I saw it and smiled. It's a cute spin on a Toronto institution. What Torontonian hasn't seen that map a billion times? The TTC didn't find it nearly as harmless and funny. They've sent the creator a cease and
While in university, before starting my first full-time job, I was a power TTC user. There were two ways to get where I was going, my bike and the TTC. When it came to the subway, I knew exactly where to get on so that it aligned with the exit
The president of Local 113 of the Amalgamated Transit Union said today that the union would go on strike Monday morning. He blamed government underfunding and the specific inability of both sides to come to agreement on the issue of the contracting out of some jobs. We're a city that
She's always been there for me. As a child, she would take me to Carlton station to watch a Maple Leafs game or Dundas station to visit the Eaton Centre. The Dufferin bus was always there when I had tickets to a Blue Jays game at Exhibition Stadium but the
