- The City of Toronto and the TTC want to hear from the public, as they plan to bring a new RapidTO corridor along Jane Street. City's Rhianne Campbell has the latest from residents who say there is a dire need for efficient and reliable transit.
If we only listened to mayor David Miller in 2007.
The Jane LRT should've been built already but then clowns in government thought it were wise to build more roads instead.
Yes, killed by Rob Ford in 2010 after David Miller proposed it during his term.
I hope drivers dont water down the bus lane plan.
The city makes zero sense. The citizens are not benefiting from the economy and are struggling too cope with punctual waiting time.
RapidTO needs to have 5 minute headways, like (allegedly) the subway.
@@wklis more like 10 minutes, u leave early qnd yet still arrive late. Ttc drivers are likely on drugs and they do not care, and they have zero Manners!
@@TheShpmusic and you're right at the bus' door, begging knocking but they'll go anyway... leaving you to wait for the next bus 😢 it wouldn't take them 1 minute to let you aboard, not all though, some ttc drivers are considerate. Some.
Wasn't it supposed to be an LRT from the transit city plan? This is a downgrade
Most of ttc bus drivers do not care! they are not working for u, they are working against you..
Residents of Jane st must to stop paying any of car insurances by the terrible road condition for decades.
Let's hope they clear, not just plow, the snow windrows at intersection corners, transit stops, and crossings. Don't make the snow windrows a mountain climbing expedition.
Exactly especially during the recent snow storm, bus stops are almost impossible to get to due the lack of snow clearing.
They need to keep a balance with vehicular traffic. With most of Jane Street you just cannot arbitrarily take away a driving lane for buses only, especially the closer to Bloor Street that you get. It's also one of the few major arteries that goes all the way to Steeles Avenue (and beyond). ALL vehicles need that access, not just for commuting, but for deliveries, freight and other purposes. The next closest that have that direct ability are Islington to the west, and all the way to Bathurst to the east. Too far away.
it's not "arbitrary" it helps move thousands of people faster
The 35 jane bus moves well on 75000 people a week. Public transportation moves more people then cars by a large margin
Jane st traffic will be a nightmare.
Traffic congestion is the main cause of the single-occupant motor vehicle.
Traffic is caused by cars though. You think a bus filled with 60 people is the thing causing the traffic or the 60 cars each with one person in them?
@@serbansaredwood actually buses are part of the traffic...
To the others that replied - No matter how much transit is out there, you will NEVER get everyone out of their cars.... EVER. Get used to it.
@@serbansaredwood - Traffic is not caused by cars. Traffic is caused by poor traffic flow planning, unsynchronized traffic lights, unrealistic "traffic calming" and artificially slow speed limits. If cars and buses can get to their destinations in an efficient manner, "traffic" would be a non-issue.
In Toronto GTA no parks, no place for rest with a family. Looks as a city in the big depression. So sad..
I love wuber!
Bus drivers are big problems they come all at once and leave at once and your stuck long time waiting for busses. I lived by Jane Station I was disappointed how these union workers have no care.
that is not the drivers fault.
@@pacman3556 dude bus drivers play bug role in it they could wait for other busses to go further but thry purposely they leave together from the station 3 to 4 busses together and guess they come back to station back to back lot of times
@@citizenm9590 I know people that drive buses for the TTC. Drivers have very little to do with this issue. They are on a schedule. They don't leave the end stations at the same time. They can't. They are not allowed by dispatch to leave at the same time. They are spaced out. It is delays in traffic, traffic lights (i.e. one bus gets a red light but the next gets a green light and catches up) etc. When buses get bunched up the dispatch will call the buses in the back of the line and ask drivers to wait longer at a bus stop or drive slower to let the lead bus get further ahead but that is not always possible. The bus can only wait so long at a stop before passengers get mad or drivers around the bus get mad for blocking lanes or turn lanes. And they can drive around the speed limit but going way below causes issues. When the buses all get to the end of their routes dispatch tries to space them out again. That is why you sometimes see one bus sit for 20 minutes or more even though it has passengers on it and could leave. It is more traffic then drivers that bunch the buses up.
@@citizenm9590 Maybe sometimes, but often times even if they did leave the station as expected, this could still happen. This is called bunching and there's many ways to relieve this. This is why some streetcars do short turns, etc. Prioritizing bus lanes would also help relieve this since traffic is another cause of bunching.
