TTC announced that the hours of operation for Line 5 are now extended, and in addition the trains are now running at a full 80kph top speed in the tunnels, and the underground station speed limits were also increased from 30kph to 45kph […]
Inside, “Up to This Moment” by Hadley + Maxwell carries that story forward through a video installation capturing the evolving landscape of the Kodak Heights site in real time. #ttc #metrolinx #eglintoncrosstown (3/3)
Far more than a terminal, it’s a sprawling mobility hub linking Line 5, a major bus terminal, and both GO and UP Express services, all anchored by the historic former Kodak building. #ttc #metrolinx #eglintoncrosstown (2/3)
And—for at least the next four years—Mount Dennis is the end of the line. #ttc #metrolinx #eglintoncrosstown (1/3)
This artwork beautifully captures the station's character by channeling the nostalgic energy of vintage fairground posters and transit signage. #eglintoncrosstown #ttc #metrolinx (3/3)
While it is set to become a vital hub with the upcoming Barrie GO interchange, the true soul of the station is Janice Kerbel’s ‘Ride of Your Life’ installation. #ttc #metrolinx #eglintoncrosstown (2/3)
Caledonia station is my top pick for Line 5 because it is an architectural gem, balancing massive concrete depth with natural light that reaches the tracks. #EglintonCrosstown #TTC #Metrolinx (1/3)
Finch West LRT station with 2 trains on each side
Humber LRT line 6 station
Total time from Finch West to Humber: 43 minutes and 30 seconds
Many months late but I did a pilgrimage to the Line 6 Finch West LRT.
Rode from Finch West to Humber and back (with a stop at Plaza Latina)
I liked the train, comfortable and mostly smooth.
But after Chow announcement that signal priority was […]

A very strong argument from @moretransitso that any westward extension of Line 4 should cross Downsview before development to save money and to create more transit ridership and enable future GO connections too:

The journey skips Caledonia to save it for a future spotlight and largely bypasses Cedarvale, as that station was already captured during its soft opening. #TTC #Metrolinx #EglintonCrosstown (3/3)
This specific stretch highlights the line’s signature modular design, which is defined by sleek steel finishes and an abundance of natural light. #TTC #Metrolinx #EglintonCrosstown (2/3)
Exploring the "glass box" architecture of the Eglinton Crosstown involves navigating a random assortment of stations between Avenue and Keelesdale. #TTC #Metrolinx #EglintonCrosstown (1/3)
It also subtly plays with our perception of space, making the interchange feel just a bit bigger. #TTC #Metrolinx #EglintonCrosstown (3/3)
Rodney LaTourelle and Louise Witthoeft’s Light from Within helps bridge the two lines, adding something beautiful to look at. #TTC #Metrolinx #EglintonCrosstown (2/3)
The poorly named Eglinton Station (really should’ve been Eglinton–Yonge or even Midtown) is a tight squeeze for what’s now one of the TTC’s busiest interchanges. #TTC #Metrolinx #EglintonCrosstown (1/3)
I think #metrolinx needs to see this guys. They didn’t know that you can have frequent electric trains + level crossings at the same time.
Mind blowing stuff!

One night, around 9pm on Line 5, my friend waited for 20 minutes. No train. She finally decided to take the bus instead...🤦♀️

It's nuts to me that the only way we get news from Metrolinx plans are through leaks or freedom of information requests.
No timeline, not even clear goals of what they are buildling. We don't know shit. It's insane to run a transit system like that. No wonder everything is late, it seems they […]

Metrolinx weighs removing UP Express luggage racks to add standing room: leaked document
Also standardize 3-car trains (existing fleet), and 4-car train (would require new purchase) […]
I love the GO Train, especially for weekend events in Toronto. $10 round trip with free parking at the station! Parking downtown during an event would cost at least double that.
However, the last NB train is too early for nighttime concerts. I appreciate the added trips. I want more. #Metrolinx
These would likely be the two closest GO stations on the network—which makes the ongoing delay around Park Lawn and King–Liberty all the more puzzling. #Metrolinx urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/03...
#Metrolinx is bragging today on X that the Scarborough Subway Extension tunnel-boring machine is more than half way thru its 6.9-km journey. What they conveniently don't tell you is that tunnelling was to have been finished in the fall of 2024. It's on pace to take 6 years to complete a 2-year job.
Shorter, more frequent GO train plan ‘unlikely to materialize’: leaked document

Yet another reason for a full public inquiry into #Metrolinx as a whole, with an eye to how we can fix this dysfunctional, secretive agency. Special thanks to insiders leaking the reports. The world is upside down when doing the right thing is risky.

We need a major reorganization of #Metrolinx and its mandate. But, apparently, Ontarians still don't care.
Sooner or later they will care because this government is determined to dig the hole deeper.
For now, make room in your inbox for more 'feel good transit stories'. #onpoli
Aside from the torrent of tax dollars being diverted for partisan political ads (Protect Ontario), the province's transit agency, #Metrolinx, seems far more focused on 'feel good transit stories' and secrecy than on competence, safety, honesty and getting serious value for the public. #onpoli
Marit Stiles, ON NDP leader, is pulling the rug out from under Doug Ford and I’m here for it.
Thanks for shining the light Marit.✌🏼💕🇨🇦

GO train near Oakville was seconds away from ‘worst-case’ derailment, internal Metrolinx report shows
Again, this had to be leaked to the media because there’s no transparency about anything at Metrolinx.

#Metrolinx …hire this guy. PLEASE.
The animal mascots would be an especially nice touch on our so far pretty bland transit system—akin to the #suico penguin in #Tokyo.
