TFC Announcement today

[djking2]

According to Mayor Miller's tweet TFC has a "significant" announcement coming today. I have to admit i suspect it's about the playing surface, after all he would be one of the first to know if grass is coming.

TTC has a significant announcement today, as they announce who wins the $billion streetcar contract (which of course will be Bombardier ...)

[flatpicker]

hahahahaaaaaa!!!! TTC sign new Designated Bus!

[djking2]

Fuck sorry guys it is TTC.

[JonO]

What?!?!? the TTC are getting grass??

[Lucky Strike]

The TTC is suffering from hooligan employees and have been sanctioned: they must keep their buses/streetcars/subways behind closed doors and in the garage for a day. :D

[Carts]

Fuck sorry guys it is TTC.

FAIL! :D

Carts...

[Parkdale]

try riding the Blue Night bus along Yonge street after last call.

Well there is a TFC link. Those new 3-car streetcars have about twice the capacity as the current ones, so it will be easier to get to and from BMO Field for games! I'm sure that's what djing was thinking :)

(though I've been quite impressed with how many Bathurst cars they've had sitting there ready to go at the end of the game sometimes!).

The epic battle between Siemens and Bombardier!

But Siemens's stock was docked one dollar on the TSX for fielding an ineligible employee. :D How far are we going to take this?

blue night along yonge isn't bad.... the subway is worse for shit than that bus.

sometimes it's even a party, but i haven't found it that bad. just people drinking, and sometimes smoking weed. that was before the cameras.

[Lucky Strike]

hahahahaaaaaa!!!! TTC sign new Designated Bus!

A bus that will cost much more in fare than the normal buses, but that will rarely deliver a better service.

However, there is this odd case of designated bus that helps to advertise the TTC and make it well known to the European public transit systems. However, this designated bus was not satisfied with the performance of its fellow buses and was loaned to the public transit system in Milan.

The epic battle between Siemens and Bombardier!

Siemens will win, because they've already agreed to lay natural grass down our streetcar lines.:D

[nfitz]

The epic battle between Siemens and Bombardier!Indeed - and this is the replay, as they it a was a 0-0 draw the first time, when TTC threw out all the bids, and called for another match.

Tram in St etienne has grass

To all you naysayers out there: if you can drive a 50,000-pound tram over grass, you can throw 22 men onto the stuff.

[Sonny Cheeba]

i'd say it's fairly important. even TFC relevant.... in the future it might mean that people have a more comfortable ride to BMO

[H Bomb]

come on robot drivers..........

well one can hope

the scarborough RT is automatic. the "driver" only controls the doors.

the tram is on rails so it really doesn't touch the grass. I don't know about St. Etienne, but Bilbao is a fair bit warmer too

[H Bomb]

come on robot door controllers.....

[Roogsy]

hahahahaaaaaa!!!! TTC sign new Designated Bus!

^^ hahaha

we just need those tubes from futurama.

[wzhxvy]

What a let down....I was all excited when I opened this thread

[LucaGol]

Don't you hate when the media calls them the TC.

I mean there's so many transit commissions in the world.

I have to agree with this here. Sorry to anyone here who might be a skilled door operator, but seriously, how hard is an automated door with a sensor to indicate if someone is there? Do we really need to pay inflated union wages for someone to hit a "close door" button? I'm pretty sure that technology is already widely available...

Dude... it just about went off on the Ossington bus after Wednesday's match... none of ours, mind, but ugly, ugly stuff.

[FluSH]

Is this on MLS rumours yet?

[dantdot]

I was all excited, was expecting an announcement on grass, clicked the thread, read the second and third post and nearly spit out my drink.

[billyfly]

See the colours? TFC's! Coincedence ,I think not.

All we need is our own Red Rocket!

[rocker]

TTC is planning to build a subway all across Toronto that will stop at every Season ticket holder's house and go straight to BMO Field.
Then nobody will complain about the location of the stadium!

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Very misleading... no offence to the thread starter, but the first few posts made me laugh extremely hard. :D
