      They're a bloody nuisance on the road.
      Slow, they take up an entire lane on their own, and when they are picking up a d dropping off passengers they block the road entirely in one direction.
      You're either on one, or stuck behind one.

      It takes this streetcar under half an hour on a clear road and over an hour when roads are crowded when it takes 5 - 10 minutes on a Trina consistently through the day from broadview to vict park
      trust me these streetcars are slow it took me 2 hours to go from Vict park to dundas west on 503 to 504 when it takes like 20 - 30 minutes on a train

    Why 502 phased out?

    • @transittoronto
      @transittoronto  3 роки тому +4

      The two routes are doing roughly the same thing at the east end, but at the west, 503 is proving to be more useful as it supplements the busier King service. Also, 502 Downtowner can’t currently access McCaul loop due to track work.
      When the TTC gets more streetcars, the hope is to take 503 to Dufferin loop and split 501 into Neville to Sunnyside and Long Branch to Broadview (new loop to be installed).

      It's not through the cab, but we have done a 510 Spadina Ride Along, with commentary, here: ua-cam.com/video/uuwHnqkx3ds/v-deo.html

      Not at the time this video was filmed, but this was over a year ago. It's now fully under the pantograph.

    Is there transit priority signaling along here? I noticed the light at Main Street went red and then instantly back to green after the streetcar doors closed.

    • @transittoronto
      @transittoronto  3 роки тому +3

      That quick switch is the result of a film edit, I’m afraid. There is transit priority switches on Queen and, of course, the King Street Transitway.

      The TTC has done a lousy job of implementing signal priority. I'm not sure the new Eglinton Crosstown will even have it.

      Well, this is exactly the same footage as was used on the Timelapse video. I did try to correct for the tilt more strongly, but again we did have to place the camera to the right of the centre of the cab so as not be in the way of the driver's view.
