The quality of Toronto's public transit services are far behind that of Seoul's or Tokyo's, and yet, trips cost more than subway or bus rides in Seoul for some reason. I've been getting the feeling that Canada has been slowly but continuously becoming a developing country since the early 2000's.
100% its like a second world country now if thats a thing.
One of the reasons why our public transit cost us so high is because of labor costs, when the conductors and it's unions demand 30$ + an hour with maximum benefits with over 6 % raises each 2 to 3 years who do you think pays the bills?
What a mess. At least you were able to make a video about it.
This used to happen a lot, trains randomly taken out of service, no explanation, people piled onto platforms. Ridiculous customer service.
The system benefits from not having to be accountable to anyone. And then it's like that, this video is the result. This is standard on the TTC now and there's no reason to believe it will be changing any time soon.
The most essential form of public transit, yet the most severely underfunded...
Not underfunded ,you should be asking WHERE IS THE MONEY REALLY GOING TO tooany TTC construction sites nobody doing anything for days or weeks .
It's been unreliable as far as I know from the 1990s
It can't be. Every canadian knows the problems only started with Trudeau.
It wasn't as bad in early 1990s, I went to school at Ryerson for 4 yrs and it worked with those old trains they had for Line 1. Difference was when you came up from downtown back then the trains got mostly emptied once they get to Eglinton station.
1980s were not wonderful, but there were not regular service disruptions. Combination of social breakdown and years of neglect.
I usually just wait these service disruptions out. I have yet to see a shuttle bus arrive before the issue is resolved.
Considering King isn’t accessible, I wonder what they would’ve done for those who need elevator access. It’s ridiculous.
it's like they all work in different offices and don't speak to each other 😂
Sorry for your troubles Johnny
I hope all is well
The reason why King to Eglinton was closed is because they are stations where the train can cross over to the other side of the tracks. There isn't any cross overs in that whole stretch.
@@tylerhergott3893 college, bloor, st Clair all have crossovers
I wonder why there are so many incidents these days, such as trespass, medical issue etc, would cause TTC to shutdown the entire or a big section of the operation. Either there are just so much more irresponsible people there causing the problem, or TTC is over reacting? TTC seems to have a culture these day as it is easier to just shutdown the subway than figures out a way to deal with trespass but meantime keep the system running.
When the Harris government first cut TTC funding in 1997, that was the beginning of the decline of the TTC. When the Harris government leased out the 407 for 99 years for only $3.1 billion, that meant Toronto became one of the worst traffic congested cities in North America. The 407 is worth more than $30 billion today. I remember in 1992 when transit heads from foreign countries visited Toronto to see how a successful transit system was run. Safe, on-time, clean, and affordable.
I feel for you JS. Thank goodness you were smart enough NOT to listen to the announcements.
This used to happen all the time when I lived in Toronto. Great to see it’s still happening… 🙄
good morning everyone
Typical TTC bs. I worked downtown (using Line 1 from Finch) between 2013 to 2019, it seems these bs happens to me once a week and mostly on the return trips from downtown. Even in morning we get dropped off once at Rosedale because ttc took the fully packed train out of service. Next train behind is beyond packed as expected. If they would get us to Bloor station many can just walk. Biggest problem with TTC especially Line 1 is there is no way to go around, if your side of Line 1 is closed you are screwed unless you want to bus to the other side. Shuttle buses are jokes.
I use Bloor-Danforth line to go to work every day and everyday at 2:00pm a delay on subway like clockwork I'm convinced it's a BS tactic to anger passengers
If you were on the London Underground the Up Escalator is on the left. No idea why I was directed to your video as I am from London. I learnt something new TTC (no idea what it stands for) is unreliable.
Toronto Transit Commision=TTC
@@RossinBC aka Terrible Transit Commission.
TakeTheCar=TTC
Johnny for Mayor
maybe because the electrification segment is from King to Eginton so if they cut electricity, it can't be anywhere in that zone as it is one continuous current
Also the irony. There’s trespassers but they let everybody off yet the train still moves away.
i would have assumed you buy a monthly ttc pass
Thanks for the transit video Johnny
Good morning
TTC unreliable? I guess, you have not waited for the buses and trains in Vancouver. I'll take TTC any day than the crappy transit in Vancouver.
Absolutely another beautiful upload and share and thanks again Jhonny
the worst subway ever .I cant believe it if ttc works one day ,just one day with out any problem
Simply put....TTC stands for "Take The Car", public transport is for the birds, besides taking your car, take your bike or scooter, or better yet walk.
It's should stand for that since 1980
TTC is so UNREILIABLE I was thinking of getting a folding bicycle that I can take with me on alĺ TTC vehicles and when these BS delays occur just use my little bicycle . Speaking of delays ,everyday I use the trains and ALWAYS ,ALWAYS a delay on subways at 2:00pm like clock work I am convinced its done on purpose . TTC special constables are not allowed to arrest or even engage unruly passengers so what good are they and I see more fare inspectors than security . Too many TTC employees getting paid too much for doing NOTHING . Everytime they have a "tresspasser on tracks they shut down Bloor Danforth line from Woodbine to St.George
Sometimes you just have to depend on your own two feet and eff the tee tea sea! Keep on Stridin' Johnny!!
I think trespasser in this case means someone that was subway surfing. It's a problem. I came across a YT channel that belonged to someone who did that here. Someone died this year trying to subway surf in New York.
PS - I can see this being a wide search area if this person was subway surfing. A thrill seeker inconveniencing hundreds of thousands of people.
TTC = The Terrible Commission . . . u otta know by now. . . here since 1981 : I know !
So unreluable I'm thinking of gettina folding bicycle
what is happening to many people are giving orders only one person give the order hand it down to people it apply to only or fix what is broken and keep fix no fast fixes or get someone know what they doing
TTC means terrible transit commuting
I like the channel name
WOW so bad subway service
Not bad weather for a walk. We have +30C 😉
I believe that there are lot more rail pancakes (or attempts) than most people know. My guess is at least 1 a week. Just like a lot more Niagara falls swimmers than we know.(family guy even joked about it) Also get a transfer if such service problems occur. Its not fair to pay more fares.
On the positive side the LCBO business is BOOMING
Well, looks like I'm not the only one with an unreliable subway system.
I really hope you did not pay another fare!! It's solely because of them that you went over 2hrs!!
I probably did, but I got a video out of it at least lol
I'm an American from Ohio. Does this...happen often in Toronto?
All the time.
@@JohnnyStrides I'll keep that in mind when I'm visiting. I love your channel, by the way. My best friend lives in Toronto so I've been learning about his city through your videos.
this is why i hate ttc
ttc = take the car
Save us, Donald Trump!
😂😂😅
good evening
