A Journey Across Toronto on the TTC! 08/09/2021

[@PatreceSunflower]

Absolutely Incredible video Alex!! It makes me so proud to be a Torontonian seeing what a truly amazing subway & transit we have through your eyes! TTC is not like any other in the world!!!🌎👏😉💖

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Thanks!

[@PatreceSunflower]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO You’re welcome!

[@PlanetLinuxChannel]

It’s easy to get caught up with the little issues and conveniences of the system, but overall it really is a solid system that will hopefully continue to see its network and services expand over the coming years and decades.

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Oh yeah as the largest city in Canada, the future of transit in Toronto is really bright!

[@MarcoAngeloGaming]

[@tanyaeldin2259]

I like the action

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Thanks for watching

[@SgtSnazzerino]

I need to visit Toronto again one of these days. Probably one of the best public transit system in North America.

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

It used to be actually, nowadays it’s not so much but still lives to the hype in some ways

[@SgtSnazzerino]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO I visited back in 2017 and compared to my public transit it was pretty impressive.

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

@@SgtSnazzerino If you don't mind me asking where is your public transit located?

[@SgtSnazzerino]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO I live in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. We have bus service that runs to Biddeford, Saco, OOB and Portland. We also have a new long service run that hits farther parts of York County. Besides that we also have the Amtrak Downeaster. In comparison: The city of Portland has a much better bus service than my area does.

Hey Alex. Does Toronto have just NovaBus or other busses as well. In the city that I live which is around Toronto, we have only NovaBus.

@@AlexGetsAroundTO Did you know that I am going to post a video from Scarborough Town Centre to Vaughn Mills mall this Christmas

[@Tuxedo-ur4vh]

what I don't get is why they want to take out the RT so bad. 30 years of service is nothing compared to the subway, if i am not mistaken the subway has existed since the 1940's

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

The subway has been here since 1954, but as the RT is 36 years old, it’s really getting worn down with vehicles and infrastructure and it’s really expensive for the TTC to maintain everything!

[@psychonautO8743]

The last day for Line 3 will be on November 18th

Its 2023 and the LRT Still hasn't opened yet 😢. It will open in "2024"

Seven

what happens if you stay in the ttc after finch or don mills or kennedy or any terminal station. Could you film that or is it "Dangerous"

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Most trains don’t go past that into the tail tracks, some of them do though but the crew onboard would have to announce it going out of service and would scout the whole train to make sure no one is onboard. It is impossible to do so but chances are you’ll get stuck if it happens

[@user-ee7vh3of1t]

[@MarksCar-rs1nm]

They shouldn’t take out the SRT and should do what Vancouver did and get newer trains

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

I agree with you but unfortunately, when it was proposed back in 2006, it was very costly. The infrastructure would have to be significantly upgraded and the tunnel between Midland and Ellesmere would have to be widened for that.

[@PlanetLinuxChannel]

and I think some people want a single continuous line out to STC, as opposed to having the separate line and transfer that only runs a couple of stations.

[@Queensway7941]

36:46 what did you mean by a " card"
