	501 Queen (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 501 Queen is an east-west streetcar route in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).
		The 501 Queen is one of two routes (the other is the 511 Bathurst) regularly operated with the TTC's double-length ALRV streetcars.
		By the time the TTC returned to the idea of an east-west line, however, traffic had moved north to Bloor Street, and the Bloor-Danforth line was built there as a dedicated rapid-transit line like that under Yonge.

	Queen (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Queen is a station on the Yonge-University-Spadina line of the Toronto subway.
		Early subway expansion plans called for an east-west subway for streetcars under Queen Street, and a lower Queen station for these was roughed in under the subway station.
		Priorities changed and the line was never built, but many people unknowingly pass through this lower station every day; the tunnels that go under the station so that riders can move between northbound and southbound platforms use portions of this intended station, with most of the excess infrastructure walled off.

	Yonge-University-Spadina (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is also numbered as Route 1 (formerly route 601), but its route number is used by the TTC predominantly for internal purposes and is rarely used by the public or on TTC maps.
		This line is expected to see the next major phase of expansion: the "Spadina North" extension, which will bring the line to York University, four kilometres (with four additional stations) northwest of Downsview station, and into the city of Vaughan to the proposed Vaughan Corporate Centre.
		George stations, it turns south again under Queen's Park, passing to one side of the legislature, and running the full length of University Avenue beyond.

	COMMISSION REPORT MACRO
		TTC staff conducted a further delay survey at this location for an entire afternoon peak period, after the left-turn prohibitions were rescinded.
		In the TTC survey, the effects of the various individual small delays along the route were clearly evident.
		TTC staff request turn restrictions to avoid the continuing deterioration of the quality of service on streetcar routes due to the cumulative effect of such “small” delays over the length of the route.

	TTC 501-Queen Line
		The 501-Queen route runs along Queen St., the Queensway and Lakeshore Blvd. from Neville Park in the east to Long Branch in the West.
		On Queen St. and Lakeshore Blvd the Queen car runs along the street with traffic, but has a private ROW on the Queensway.
		The Queen streetcar is prone to delays and bunching - even though the headways (relative to other TTC streetcar routes) are wide.

		The Queen streetcar remains one of the TTC’s most prominent and well-travelled routes, but it is a shadow of its former self.
		The TTC operates its ALRVs on 501 Queen and 511 Bathurst.
		The TTC has a policy where if articulated vehicles are used, headways are increased, so that the same number of seats pass each stop per hour.

	Queen Street West - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Queen Street West describes both the western branch of Queen Street, a major east-west thoroughfare, and a series of neighbourhoods or commercial districts, situated west of Yonge Street in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
		Queen Street was the cartographical baseline for the original east-west avenues of Toronto's grid pattern of major streets.
		In the 1960s, the TTC decided that a subway to replace the crowded Bloor Street streetcars would be more valuable, as after the construction of the Yonge line most of the passenger traffic had moved north with the subway.

		CLRV #4239 on #501 at Queen and Bathurst, September 2003.
		TTC 4239 was the last car of the 1988 batch of articulated cars designed for use on the Queen-Humber service(which previously had been worked by MU fitted PCC cars).
		It is seen eastbound on Queen route 511 to the Neville Park approaching the corner of Queen and Bathurst on Monday September 22nd, 2003.

		As a result, the TTC is faced with several options, such as rebuilding the line to allow for a more common vehicle to be used, commissioning the design of a new vehicle, or replacing it with a subway, BRT or other method of high-capacity transit system.
		The TTC has budgeted $705 million for this project, so it appears to be a good deal, made possible by the fact that the cars would be built in China.
		On the other hand, if the TTC were to purchase an off-the-shelf model, it is likely that the company would have already paid off the tooling and design costs from their previous orders. However, the bulk discounts would still apply as a sales incentive.

	Spacing Wire » Traffic
		In discussing the TTC’s proposal for multiple-unit operation, transit activist Steve Munro notes that coupling two streetcars together as a means of improving a line’s reliability only works when headways on that line are very tight.
		I also pointed out that if the TTC wanted to speed service on Spadina, they should read the riot act to the transporation engineers who refuse to activate the transit priority signals on much of that route.
		TTC staff agreed, but I doubt anything will happen until someone in a senior position like the Mayor starts taking this seriously.

		The TTC has announced its service changes effective Sunday, November 20, and although the changes haven’t yet been reflected on the TTC’s website, transit users should brace themselves for significant changes.
		Transit guru columnist Ed Drass has also noted that the TTC is looking into crowding issues on the 191 Highway 27 Rocket, and a service increase on this route may happen shortly.
		It is likely that 501 Queen streetcars will be diverted, and delays may affect bus and streetcar routes which cross the parade.

		When the TTC replaces streetcars with buses, there are always far more buses at closer headways than the streetcars they replaced.
		During the (all too) brief period during which the TTC was running buses, service was more reliable and way faster than on the normal streetcar service.
		The route lengths for the STM and TTC streetcar routes were estimated from route maps.

		We had over a dozen people standing on street corners recording car movements to get this data, but the TTC could get it today from the computerized vehicle monitoring system. Alas, they don’t and it’s a great shame. That part of the computer system was never developed as a budget saving.
		In today’s Toronto Star we learn that the TTC is rather miffed about a plan by Humber Bay condo owners to run a private bus to downtown. It seems that the Queen car might not be The Better Way for these folks.
		This is the second time recently the TTC’s legal folks have come into the public eye (the first was the anagram subway map fiasco). For more info on that, go to spacing.ca’s website for selected articles on the subject at this link. For the original map go to here.

		There is little doubt that the TTC's operating subsidy from the Ontario and Metro governments will be reduced in 1996.
		In response to past subsidy cuts, ridership losses because of the recession, and the approaching end of the Social Contract agreement, the TTC has undertaken a major restructuring and downsizing.
