TTC major subway crowding (due to a whole rushour train becoming out of service)

[jackiechan511]

Crowding will only get worse for the following reasons

-More people coming into the GTA and will use transit

-Toronto is very slow and very "political" in doing anything hence subway/rapid transit construction gets cancelled, or delayed.

-Too many people are travelling at one time. If we spread the passenger loads at all hours instead of peak hours, it would alleviate crowding.

The TTC is the WORST!!!

[kn00tcn]

@RoulinBrooks no... it's not...

[BBCTTC5411]

@RoulinBrooks Are you kidding me? IT IS THEEEE BEST. THE TOP 3 IN THE WORLD!!!! BETTER THAN NEW YORK'S TRANSIT SYSTEM. Think before you say or in this case, re-search before say.

[RoulinBrooks]

@BBCTTC5411 Just yesterday there were switching problems on the TTC. This affected ALL subway lines for more than five hours. Major delays on every line. A day later it's still not fully fixed and the TTC staff haven't solved the problem. It's all in today's Globe and Mail. YOU do the research.

[BBCTTC5411]

@RoulinBrooks Well yeas, I can agree to that TTC do encounter problems, but it's still thee best. I was in a situation once. I was on the new tr train (5446) and it went past Davisville Station and cut power to the whole YUL line. Everyone got off and waited 30 min. The problem cleared and then 30 sec later, a problem occurs at Bloor with switches. Another train arrives at Davisville as NOT IN SERVICE with full rush hour load disembarking. The TTC only had a few shuttles all full passing.

[BBCTTC5411]

@BBCTTC5411 I talked to the operator at Davisville and he cursed/swore at me. He gave me the finger and said the word (actually a few words that shall not be mentioned). In the end, I was 1 hr and 45 min late.

That's not crowded! At all!

[kn00tcn]

@L0ND0NITE oooh you're so smart, you missed the part about this being the 6th train passing by till i could get on, & the pics of the platform filled with 100s of people that cant get on

[L0ND0NITE]

@kn00tcn Yeah you're right. I just wanted to wind you up. Because it's just so easy to wind Torontonians up.

[kn00tcn]

@L0ND0NITE i wasnt even born in this country, not even the continent

[L0ND0NITE]

@kn00tcn Great.. What do you want, a parade? Why name the video major subway crowding when the video is not representative.

[kn00tcn]

@L0ND0NITE actually, it is, because it's the 6th train & certainly not common, nowhere does it say it's tokyo

[jadietingling]

I Fucking hate it when it gets crowded like that. I Also Fucking hate it when the Fucking TTC goes on strike for no Fucking reason

[kn00tcn]

@jadietingling wah wah wah idiot

[SlobberPot2006]

People complain too much about TTC/Toronto transit. I'm happy enough that it's not like London where they completely close the station entrance for a bit until things get less crowded. :P

[kn00tcn]

@SlobberPot2006 ouch, they close it? they should have those door pusher people like japan

[phwebbie]

@xxhellblitz This is the way it always it during rush hour they should put in more trains but they don't they pack people in like cattle that the Toronto Way. The streetcars are just as bad.

[kn00tcn]

no, this is about the same amount of people from york mills all the way to bloor since something happened with the trains that morning

rushour is KINDA like this, but at least people are going on & off on every station

[kn00tcn]

if you bothered to read the info, a rushour train had to remove all passengers at york mills, so that big group tried to fit on the next few already filled trains, & this is on the 6th train after (footage at bloor)

[Iridium725]

fucking TTC goes on strike for no reason

[joelsterling]

What happened?

[NeomobiusZero]

Because the federal government is to cheap to give money to build more subway lines.
