We are planning on extending the Sheppard Subway, and there is an opportunity to think bigger extend the line cheap and efficiently to Toronto's largest development. While the site is currently empty and before housing is built. Read our new article: open.substack.com/pub/moretr…

The first of two tunnel boring machines for the Yonge North Subway Extension has arrived! These machines will dig the underground portion of the 8-km extension, bringing more than 26,000 people within walking distance of rapid transit. Watch the video to find out more!

These slow zones on #TTC line 1 are only getting worse. It’s literally faster to walk along some stretches of the subway system.

What could GO service to Kitchener look like with electric trains, infrastructure improvements, and a more ambitious service plan with express trains? Here is a service concept from our recent presentation at the Guelph Transportation Summit, also a part of our upcoming report.

Crews are currently replacing streetcar tracks on King West that have reached their end of life. During this work, we *should* be installing newer double-point switch designs and modern control systems.

Yesterday, Sep. 21, we sent pledges out to a total of 175 city council candidates running in the 2026 Toronto municipal election. Candidates were asked whether they will work implement the policies from our 10-point plan if they win on Oct. 26 🙋
Summary of the pledges we sent out to candidates. As follows: Prioritize Public Transit Make Transit Signal Priority more powerful, remove left turns where possible to speed up bus and streetcar routes, and split up pedestrian crossings to enable more adaptive and dynamic transit signal priority. Improve Travel Times Review and act on overly restrictive slow zones and operating practices, and rebalancing stop spacing to speed up vehicles while maintaining access. Fix Switches Modernize the outdated switch control system for streetcars, end the practice of stopping at every single streetcar switch, and begin installing double-bladed switches in the streetcar network. Streetcars of the Future Invest in a modular track diversion system so that streetcars can safely navigate construction zones without lengthy detours or bus substitution, and plan for double-ended streetcars in future procurement.
