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

This video was made in honour of the TTC's Centennial (I was three weeks early but wanted to get it done)
Welcome to the longest video I have made on my channel. I embark on an epic transit journey across Toronto in a clockwise direction where I ride all four subway lines plus two bus routes! I'm a very knowledgable person when it comes to transit so that's why I talk in some parts of the video to explain what is what. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this epic transit video and please give it some support as it was really hot when I filmed this (30 degrees celcius) and that this video is really really long. I took so much time to film this and edit as well. Other than that, this was really fun to make!
Timestamps of all stations and transfers:
0:00 Intro
3:15 Entering Eglinton West station
7:36 Line 1 Yonge-University northbound ride
18:44 Sheppard West station and transferring to the buses

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.

Besides that we also have the Amtrak Downeaster. In comparison: The city of Portland has a much better bus service than my area does.

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

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 2 жыл бұрын

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!

@AlexGetsAroundTO 2 жыл бұрын

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.
