  • Oh TTC, you do just get us where we need to go, but your archaic system needs to be updated. Not to mention the only way to deal with increased volumes since 1920s was to create more bus routes and a few subway lines. It's scary how the subway stations look exactly the same, while the populations has increased 10 fold.http://www.blogto.com/city/2011/10/the_ttc_photographs_of_eric_trussler/ I would say this is most apparent at Yonge and Bloor station which is long over due for a renovation to help better the flow of people. There's only ONE exit to transfer cars, and creates a bottleneck you don't want to be stuck in! The narrow platforms downstairs also doesn't help. Sure, we've got new subway cars, and although cleaner, probably runs better, and has some added perks like lights on a map, there's really no other improvement. What would be nice is if the cars were optimized to fit more people, as opposed to two seaters placed in the way of the centre aisle. Putting them off to the side take away 2 seats, but you could have at least 4 more people in the car. What I do like is the long continuous car, so people can move around more. Granted, I haven't been on a new car during rush hour to comment. With all the TTC fare hikes, we've seen minimal improvements. Sure, the Presto card was a good idea, if it were to work probably and integrated fully. Instead, we pay a flat $3.00 to go anywhere from a block, to the end of the line. I would take the subway more often if it was distance based. I think we're also one of the few systems that don't have a kiosk/card system, and still have tickets/tokens. Nowadays, I may as well drive, and find free parking than to take the subway. Not only should the money be spent on more technology improvements, but how about getting more stations around the city. Streetcars and Buses get us around, but take up so much time. It bothers drivers too and gets in the way. I was all for Ford's nixing of Transit city. Don't even get me started on the need for an Airport direct train. I'm glad Metrolinx finally jumped on this one. I am all for the TTC being privatized. Life would be much better for Torontonians. Let's look at the example of Asia/Hong Kong and the MTR. Such an efficient system, and they are experts in people flow, this is what you need. Anyhow, there it is. My rant on the TTC.
