  1. @ttchelps We know the SRT is unreliable due to age. Has #TTC ever explained why the east end of the subway is equally unreliable? #TTC 4:23 AM May 29th via Mobile Web
  2. Where there is a concern about union habits: Are work crews installing the Yonge subway switches as quickly as safety will allow? #TTC 7:10 PM May 27th via Mobile Web
  3. @maxprocyk Huh? The issue is cars cruising NB Yonge below Dundas, blocking #TTC buses. Sorry, union 'monkey business' is not a real factor. 10:23 AM May 27th via Mobile Web in reply to MaxProcyk
  4. 10 #TTC shuttles stuck in Yonge NB traffic between Dundas &Queen. Jammed from Front. Not acceptable alternate to subway. @TTCchair @TTChelps 4:25 PM May 26th via Mobile Web
  5. I wonder if #TTC will get help from City and Police Service to unjam Yonge Shuttles south of Dundas this weekend. @TTChelps 5:43 AM May 26th via Mobile Web
  6. @denzilmw Has city ever done a proper cost/benefit of road+TTC upkeep+rebuild budget vs. use of road de-icers other than salt? 9:02 AM May 16th via Mobile Web in reply to DenzilMW
  7. @denzilmw Still wondering how two TTC buses will be able to pass each other (at more than 5km/h) when hemmed in by concrete bike lane curbs. 9:17 AM May 15th via Mobile Web in reply to DenzilMW

  13. RT: "Gridlock Sam" - noted transport engineer - has a plan to reboot congestion pricing in NYC: (pdf) bit.ly/J55xv3 @voilakevin 12:34 PM Apr 30th via web
  14. @IamChadich Any bus route reaching capacity (#TTC has stats +Bus Transit City) merits upgrades: queue jump lanes> signal priority> full BRT. 6:21 AM Apr 30th via Mobile Web in reply to IamChadich
  15. The car/bus clog zones on Yonge this weekend are one outcome if motorists fight all non-subway upgrades to #TTC bus corridors. 6:42 PM Apr 29th via Mobile Web
