Charting Service Frequency (2)
https://stevemunro.ca/2023/05/29/charting-service-frequency-2/

In a previous article, I presented a proposed way to display service frequency on a route in a manner that, I hoped, would convey the pervasiveness of irregular service in a manner that would be clear to casual readers, and in a consistent format. Several readers commented on this either on Twitter or via email, […]

With the shutdown of Queen Street for Ontario Line construction between Victoria and Bay, we will not see streetcars there for many years. The last cars will run just before midnight on April 30, 2023. Until early 2024, the absence will be over a longer stretch from Broadview to McCaul until new diversion track via […]

Holes in the Road
https://stevemunro.ca/2023/01/24/holes-in-the-road/

Service on 501 Queen, 504 King, 29/929 Dufferin and 503 Kingston Road has been affected by two major water/sewer repairs both of which struck over the weekend of January 21-22, 2023.

KQQR Update: January 16, 2023
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 […]
