When we started 5 years ago, we asked for decals at Bloor-Yonge station. We thought it could be a way to speed up passenger off and on boarding. It is a good feeling to see them installed there. Tell us what you think about them. TTC Customer Service #transit #toronto #subway #topoli

Insightful and educational interview w/ Andy Byford (ex TTC CEO) on transit's challenges in Toronto and globally. Excellent explainer on high-frequency rail and high-speed toward the end of the interview. Metro Morning Listen here: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra… #onpoli #topoli #cdnpoli

Osgoode station's northeast entrance may be permanently closed as early as today. It's a result of @ontarioline construction. Farewell. Do you have memories of using this entrance? #transit #toronto #queenstreet #downtowntoronto #ttcsubway #metrolinx #ttc Photos: Jean-François Obregon

While the intention was to provide a faster option for people travelling between Union and Pearson, I’ve heard riders’ concerns about servicing Weston and Bloor stations along the UP Express line.   I’ve directed Metrolinx to not proceed with these changes.

Advocates call for reducing height of front of SUVs and pick-up trucks as well as special licences and registration fees to reduce collisions with pedestrians. Learn more here 👇🏽 #visionzero #cdnpoli #topoli #onpoli #planning

Register for webinar Thurs April 25 (12-1pm) about direct correlation between vehicle front end height and pedestrian death. Huge pickup trucks and SUVs are disproportionately involved in crashes that kill and severely injure people outside of cars. Link: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

TTC spokesperson quoted in Toronto Star on how to plan if a strike by ATU Local 113 goes ahead. Here'a hoping that a strike can be averted. Otherwise, prepare for longer commutes.

Many Torontonians are wondering how long they’ll have to endure frustrating commute times after the TTC released a map identifying its slow zones this summer. nowtoronto.com/news/the-entir…

Thanks for asking for our throughts for this article about slow zones or restricted speed zones on the TTC subway. How long will it take to fix the issues causing them? What will it take to avoid having them in the future? The public needs to know. #topoli #stateofgoodrepair

Our group is quoted in On The Record article about the need for the TTC to address reduced speed zones and the addition of detour information to its app. Thank you to Matthew Katzman for reaching out. ontherecordnews.ca/new-semester-n… #torontotransit #ttc #toronto #tmu #tmustudents
