Toronto, ON–TTCriders, a membership-based transit advocacy group, and Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) celebrate the passing of RapidTO, dedicated transit lanes on Dufferin and Bathurst at today’s meeting of Toronto City Council.
Toronto City Council approved on Wednesday the installation of dedicated bus lanes on Dufferin Street and dedicated streetcar lanes on Bathurst Street—both of which will be located south of Bloor Street.

A Toronto transit rider has launched a website that tracks subway delays and disruptions on the TTC to make commuting on the system easier for riders.
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT opening date may be delayed again.
