A screenshot from the TTC website showing on-time performance for various modes and lift modes in progress bar and text form.
The TTC has done some modifications to their website. And like GO, they have added useless information that the average customer doesn't give a crap about. See what I mean below:
Excellent and informative video!
And here I thought the debate over LRT and surface rail was over in this city, but Brad-Brad has decided to rekindle an old shitshow from over a decade ago.
I got news for him. He's no Rob Ford despite trying to adopt his old shitty policies.

Honestly I'm flabbergasted that someone had two articles published this week where both articles were founded upon poor assumptions.
Remember that time Metrolinx "leaked" the Finch West LRT opening date in one of their upcoming Board meeting reports and then deleted said report?
Oh wait, that was tonight.
The shutdown process of Rogers' 3G network is an absolute disaster. People across different providers that use Roger's infrastructure are being told inaccurate things, resulting in unnecessary provider changes and additional charges.
Anyone affected, reach out to the CCTS.
I'm surprised with all the protests out there isn't one for all these unnecessary Return to Office orders by employers.
Considering the commuting costs, increasing traffic and contempt for people's personal time, I thought this would be a cause the labour movement would take up.

I mentioned this on Instagram way back and my comments on here were dismissed as being incredulous (despite having a conversation of the then PM involved at the time).
It might be 2 years late but this appears to confirms everything I was told back then.
Jesus Christ.
A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons.
You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.
Massive account Aesthetica tweets: “I am now 100% confident that Charlie's assassination was carried out by a radical left wing transgender terror cell. Let's get into the evidence (…)” Elon Musk quotes saying “seems likely”
Cernovich tweets: “Matt Walsh had his phone hacked, doxxed, and people showing up to kill him. Over the trans issue. They are exceptionally violent. Not for me to "defend Israel," especially as that side has treated me very badly over the years. But I don't think it wa...” Matt Walsh quotes: “Anyone who's been in the trenches fighting these trans militants knows that they are inherently violent. On a level far beyond any other political or ideological faction. Deranged, deeply hateful, angry at themselves and the world. Suicidal. The threat they pose is very serious.”
A user, Connor Tomlinson, tweets: “It's time for a complete and total ban on cross-sex hormones. They cannot change your sex...” Elon Musk quotes it saying: “absolutely”
Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people.
It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.
One thing that kinda blows my mind:
I spoke to national French-language media all morning about this. I did three separate interviews before 10am.
I was interviewed for the U.S. publication WIRED about it.
But English-language Canadian media? Crickets.
It’s just so odd!
✏️ Happy Labor Day! 🖌️
Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft?
Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago.
In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.
Pulling out of downtown Timmins was one of the blunders that tanked ridership on the thing, but the City & ONR wanted to revitalize the rail lands downtown. Look at how that turned out.
The Northlander did have some night runs in the past and ridership slipped. A sign of things to come.
You're right he did, including during the most recent Federal election. But this could push more drastic changes with a heavy-handed approach.
I'll say before 7:00pm.
I love that the government lost but this probably wasn't the right time to rock the boat. With the tariff deadline and Doug's polling he'll feel emboldened to make changes to the judicial appointment process. Very Trump-ish.
Dang, another thing I agree with you on.
First one shouldn't even exist, instead forcing drivers to other crossings. And since its not the 1940s, the second one could be grade separated without too much difficulty.
The power of Macintosh.
They're at a disadvantage of not owning as much rail as GO and with the Port of Montreal that's unlikely to change.
I'm not disputing that they should improve it but losing the Mount Royal Tunnel was a big blow. And mid-trip mode changes don't tend to help ridership no matter how easy you make it.
Exo's most popular line is gone and has been the case for 4-5 years. Not everyone flocked to the Vaudreuil or Saint-Jerome lines.
Blame the REM. It ate the ridership numbers from Deux-Montagnes making the rest of its rail network's numbers look anemic. Not to mention the whole Mount Royal Tunnel kerfuffle.
I keep hearing that the GO Midtown line will be awesome and will do everything and will be the best. Meanwhile TTC Line 1 is just 1 kilometer south and a steep incline 500 meters north acts like a barrier for development.
I think its a no-brainer where this money should be spent.
metrolinx: linking people to places - on y va
Before Metrolinx had created a graphical logo/mark, here's what they used on their letterhead.
It's really hard to fight the instinct to vote strategically...
Then you realize:
- Conservatives will never do that.
- Liberals are much less likely to vote strategically.
- The only persuadable voters left are the indifferent (who aren't looking it up) and the other parties.
Fact check friday coming soon, to a new home 💞
Thanks @jameswsthomson.com and @nationalobserver.com for keeping this alive!!!
Ugh April Fools. It always feels like people are auditioning @thebeaverton.com / @theonion.com
I feel like it's a great time to rewatch this documentary "Final Offer" on why the Canadian UAW split off from the US.

The local Bell sales people have been unleashed in the neighborhood to sell their crappy bundles and service.
You'd think a company with $24 billion wouldn't need canvassers to sell their plans.
I'm willing to bet I'd see the same amount on CTV. Hell, YouTube has shorter versions that pre-roll many videos - an excellent reminder to turn on ad blocking.
In the past 2 hours of watching CBC on TV I saw 6 Conservative ads.
For some odd reason they're also using a small audio cut of @thedailyshow.com's Jon Stewart calling @mark-carney.bsky.social "sneaky". Amateurish, awkward and overdone IMO.
