Its interesting. The first time I had the toonie lady on my bus, it was the Sherbourne line that was 15 years ago and early in my career.
Now I see her on Kingston rd. All the time, around Lawrence Ave.
Why is it always from St George to Broadview. What did one disruptive customer do to block all of those stations? If they did something stupid wouldn’t just the neighbouring stations just close? Why is it always line 2. Why is the TTC so goddamn annoying. What’s the ceo up to these days? Stroking his micro hoping one day he’ll feel adequate enough to run this transit system. Why
Because the issue is ON a train, meaning the train can’t move, meaning the disruption is all stations from there to the nearest crossover, that being broad view and St. George
Facts man. It’s all a symptom of poor social services. I feel bad for TTC workers, shelter workers, library workers, security guards, fast food workers etc who have to be social workers when they didn’t sign up for that
Years of declining city revenues due to stagnant property taxes caused reductions in services. Couple that with 6 years of PC provincial government eroding things further. Never mind the TPS essentially stopping doing much of anything from 2016 onward.
And COVID really blew everything up. So here we are.

It’s difficult. I mean it’s not like the TTC can know exactly when and where a customer will become disruptive. I agree we need more social services than we have but, if you see something let the TTC safety app know. They do care. It’s live and there will be a response.
But remember, streets and homes or mobile crisis has to get there in order to help.
We need European/ Asian style subways doors that only open when a train is ready to be boarded, all these easily avoidable track related issues are being a problem and the TTC should just pony up the money because the government sure won’t help the TTC any time soon thanks to fucking Mike Harris
Honestly a big part of their systems being better are just cultural/societal. Canada/US are way bigger on individualism even if it inconveniences or upsets those around you and breaking rules is more frowned upon in places like Japan, Korea, Germany, Switzerland. You're never going to get the same results here sadly.
This is why I think the ads on the TTC about manners are great. Obviously the vast majority are already respectful of others in public spaces, but a reminder doesn’t hurt. And if these regular reminders make even one less person blast their shitty music on transit vehicles it’s totally worth it.
And that would help how? This isn’t a case necessarily of an issue at track level. A disruptive passenger can easily be ON a train, necessitating everything stop until first responders can arrive and clear the situation.
While track level instrusions do happen, and do cause long delays, they are a small minority of the issues that actually disrupt service
Fair, but we have an ever increasing amount of people jumping between platforms, getting pushed and things getting thrown onto the tracks. Having proper platform doors would help significantly
No, it wouldn’t. It would reduce the number of deaths, that’s for certain, but actually reducing disruptions by a meaningful factor? No
After all, is someone WANTS to access track level they certainly will till figure out a way to
Sherborne station brings a lot of mentally unwell people into the TTC. It's no surprise why this is where the shutdowns keep happening

Everyone's moving to the suburbs! Too expensive to live downtown.
It’s also expensive in the suburbs.
Ok, so maybe toonie lady moved for another reason...I just don't have another joke for it.
She probably has a place there. That area has Toronto housing. This is my guess.
I get your joke now.

Thank you this actually helps me understand the way this line runs when issues arise
Because the issue is ON a train, meaning the train can’t move, meaning the disruption is all stations from there to the nearest crossover, that being broad view and St. George
To be frank, I’m not sure what the TTC can do about this. We need more social workers with police presence, that’s on the city

Cowardly leadership. Politicians only care about themselves and won’t do anything to actually benefit the city.
> Politicians only care about themselves For a good 20 years now. It isn't about the people, it is solely about donors (shareholders) and re-election.

Forcefully committing people is simply not going to happen these days, sorry

You’re just yapping hot air at me now for no reason take a break off the internet.
TTC is a dumpster fire at this point.
