	Bloor-Yonge (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bloor-Yonge is a station on the Yonge-University Spadina line and the Bloor-Danforth Line of the Toronto subway.
		When the streetcars were replaced with the Bloor-Danforth subway in 1966, the station was renamed 'Bloor-Yonge', but actual platform signs still show 'Bloor' on the Yonge-University-Spadina line and 'Yonge' on the Bloor-Danforth Line, following the style common in the New York City Subway.
		Bloor is one of the busiest stations in the system, and in 1992 the TTC took advantage of building construction over the station to open it out and widen the platforms.

	Scarborough RT (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The TTC had proposed to extend the Bloor-Danforth line using streetcars operating in a private right-of-way, but the ICTS system was used instead because the Province of Ontario agreed to pay a large portion of the costs.
		Internally, the TTC uses the name ‘rapid transit’ to refer to all four lines, which is often confusing to the general public.
		The Scarborough RT (sometimes shortened to SRT or RT) is a public transport metro line in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

		The line generally does not run under Bloor Street or Danforth Avenue themselves, but is offset to the north: in some areas it runs under a parking alley behind the businesses on the north side of the street, while some other sections run under side streets.
		Two kilometres further on Bloor East, crossing the Bloor Street Viaduct, it continues just north of Danforth Avenue for six more kilometres before turning northeast for the final five kilometres, ending at Kennedy station (near Kennedy Road and Eglinton Avenue) which is also the southern terminus of the Scarborough RT.
		The line has its western terminus near Kipling Avenue and Bloor Street West.

	Results in
		So far as rapid-transit lines are concerned, TTC opened its 9.9-mile Spadima line in 1978, two extensions of the Bloor/Danforth line were opened two years later, and the seven-mile Scarborough line carried its first revenue passengers in March 1985.
		Over the years, TTC has been able to extend lines, not just to meet existing demand but also to create demand--and the commercial and residential development that followed construction of new lines is an oft-told story.
		TTC's steady gains in patronage began in 1979, when 346.2 million rides were recorded.

	SHEPPARD (TTC) : Encyclopedia Entry
		The TTC considers the Sheppard East extension of the Sheppard subway to Scarborough Centre as one of their two top priorities for rapid-transit expansion, along with a northerly extension of the Spadina line.
		The TTC still hopes to extend the line to Scarborough Town Centre, but the westward extension is no longer a priority.
		The case for building the subway line was because the existing TTC bus service could not handle the commuter capacity; full buses passed by crowds at bus stops.

	cars - Toronto Transit Commission
		In 1954 the TTC adopted its present name, opened its first subway line, and greatly expanded its service area to cover the newly formed municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (which eventually became the enlarged city of Toronto).
		As new TTC routes since the 1940s have generally been operated by other modes, and the less busy streetcar routes have also been converted, streetcar routes are now focused on the downtown area, with none running further north than St.
		At one point the TTC was renowned as one of the world's best transit systems, however the past twenty years have seen enormous funding cuts to the system, as well as a shift towards a car-dominated culture.

		During 1966-68, the east-west Bloor-Danforth line was built; it was interlined with the Yonge-University line in the beginning, with trains running down the Yonge line and then alternately east or west from Museum station onto the Bloor-Danforth line; however, this proved ineffective and was eventually cancelled.
		Whereas in Montreal one might take the green line towards Honoré-Beaugrand, in Toronto one would take the eastbound Bloor-Danforth line.

	Transit Toronto - Content: GO Train/Toronto Subway Connections Current and Proposed
		Although the Stouffville line also passes close to Lawrence East and Ellesmere stations, a location near Kennedy station was clearly more convenient, as it requires just one transfer to go from the Stouffville train to either the Scarborough Town Centre or west along the Bloor-Danforth line.
		Passengers leaving Bloor station exit the platform at the southern end, proceed down a dank stairwell to the Bloor Street underpass beneath the CN tracks, and then have to walk a half block in the open air to get to the entrance of Dundas West station.
		GO’s Milton line is the exception to the rule in that it operates on CP tracks.

	Councillor Joe Mihevc - Media and Issues: City of Toronto, Ward 21 St. Paul's West
		Bolton says that currently, the TTC has no concrete plans to expand the Bloor-Danforth line west of Kipling, since Toronto's transportation authority is in the throes of a budgetary shortfall.
		According to TTC numbers, 122,400 people travel through the Etobicoke section of the Bloor-Danforth line on a daily basis.
		"The Bloor extension was created in an era when governments invested in public transit - they saw it as (something) in the city's interest overall - not just for TTC riders but for the economy generally," he says.

		The Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) Warden Station is an intermodal transfer point on the Bloor-Danforth Subway Line.
		The original concrete pavement had been constructed when the Bloor-Danforth Subway was extended to Islington and Warden in 1968, and was topped with asphalt about 15 years ago.

	Finding a "better way"
		Or transfer from the north-south to east-west lines at Yonge and Bloor and you'll find this mouthful overhead between two sets of staircases: "Additional Stairs and Escalators to Bloor/Danforth Subway at East End of Mezzanine"-- 13 words to tell you what is obvious to anyone with good vision.
		The TTC has since completely ignored the lessons of Arthur's design and whipped up its own signs featuring white Helvetica Bold on a black ground with a wee strip of colour at the top to suggest (not indicate) the line you're on.
		Indeed, this is one of the risks of the TTC's approach to the redesign: Apart from installing the St. George prototype, Arthur has been hired only to produce a "design intent"-- in other words, he was hired to brainstorm.
