Short Turns and Wait Times on Streetcar Routes
https://stevemunro.ca/2023/07/15/short-turns-and-wait-times-on-streetcar-routes/

At the TTC Board meeting on July 12, 2023, there was a brief discussion of the problem of short turns on streetcar lines. The information provided by management was, shall we say, less than a full accounting of what is actually going on. This issue flared up many years ago particularly with short turns of […]

https://stevemunro.ca/2023/07/02/where-is-my-diversion-notice-july-2-23-edition/

Oh the irony! The TTC’s Annual Service Plan consultations are all abut how to handle a few (but not all) of the construction projects coming in 2024, but the elephant in the room remains bad communications and changes on the fly. The new routes implemented in May and June…

The intersection of King & University is closed due to a water main break which both undermined the road and flooded St. Andrew Station. […]

https://stevemunro.ca/2023/01/16/kqqr-update-january-16-2023/

On a day that hinted vaguely of, dare I say it, Spring, I visited King-Queen-Queensway-Roncesvalles to see the current state of affairs. In brief: One might think it possible we will see streetcar service at least to Sunnyside on Queen and on Roncesvalles to Dundas West Station this Winter-Spring. Schedule details for the mid-February and […]
