		TTC staff are exploring approaches to protecting property in these corridors in the absence of the funding required for comprehensive updates of the original Environmental Assessment studies.
		TTC staff are participating in a joint Environmental Assessment Study of possible Bus Rapid Transit on Yonge Street between Finch Avenue and Steeles Avenue, and are initiating preliminary work on a possible Bus Rapid Transit facility between Downsview Station and York University/Steeles Avenue.
		TTC staff are also participating, at a technical level, in studies being undertaken by other agencies with respect to rapid transit planning in the GTA to help ensure that these plans are consistent with the TTC’s and the City's longer-term plans for rapid transit in the City of Toronto.

	Toronto Transit Commission - The Fall Edition -
		Both Finch and Sheppard stations had long corridors connecting the subway platforms to the bus terminals and, in the case of Sheppard, secondary exits to the street ran off both sides of these corridors.
		While Finch station's corridor was opened as a fare-paid zone without much difficulty, Sheppard station's entrances would have to have fare barriers installed should the paid fare area be expanded to cover the bus terminal.
		If the TTC had gone this route, trains to Keele at St. George and Woodbine at Bay would be on the same level, and passengers wouldn’t have to wait between levels in order to be sure to catch the first train to their destination.

	Toronto Transit Commission - Gurupedia
		The assets and liabilities of the TTC and four independent bus lines operating in the suburbs were acquired by the Commission.
		The TTC continues to be the sole provider of public transit within the City of Toronto, as well as operating contracted services into the neighbouring York Region.
		Because the TTC has maintained a large portion of its pre-World War II streetcar system, the streetcar routes operate in prewar style, with almost all of the route mileage in traffic rather than on reserved track.

	Eye Weekly - A house divided - 04.07.05
		But as our discussion progressed over the two hours we spent at his home in the Keele and Finch area of North York (an $8 cab ride from Downsview station; the subject of what buses to take never came up as he was offering directions), a more disturbing scenario came to seem more likely.
		The TTC is divided into two quite different segments: the nine commissioners selected from city council, and the staff, headed by the general manager, Rick Ducharme.
		So, while the TTC is interested in developing more, and they know the value of it, the incentive has not necessarily been there, because the money largely goes to the city.

	Finch (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Finch is a station on the Yonge-University-Spadina line of the subway system of Toronto, Canada.
		There are two major TTC parking lots (referred to as the car park in directional signage) at Finch station for use by commuters.
		On the north side of Bishop Avenue, slightly east of the TTC bus terminal (along the southern edge of the GO bus terminal) is a parking lane for taxicabs.

	Don Mills (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The station is adjacent to an exit from Highway 404; TTC bus route 139, Finch East Express, exploits this highway connection to provide an “express” bus route for Finch Avenue even though its terminus, Don Mills station, is almost 2 km away.
		It is not as elaborate as the “Kiss-n-Ride” passenger pick-up/drop-off area in Finch Station, but it still provides 18 temporary parking spaces—about the same as the Finch “Kiss-n-Ride”—for passenger pick-up and drop-off purposes.
		The TTC hopes in the future to extend the Sheppard line south-east from Don Mills to meet the Scarborough RT line at Scarborough Centre.

	1975 GM Buses
		Because of the bus crisis, the TTC spent $6 million to refit some of the reliable ones in 1994 so that these old buses could stay as long as possible.
		As the TTC began the program to rebuild the newer GM New Looks in 1995, no decision on rebuilding the 1975 GM buses was made because of their relative obsolete mechanics and inefficient power train.
		Some of the yesterday's features on TTC buses were lost after their retirement: The very last 8086's Eglinton territory destination curtain and 8111's water bumper are now history and will never be seen again in Toronto now.

		One look at the damage done to Finch Avenue, just west of Sentinel Road, and it’s a wonder that no one was killed.
		The faces of the work crews and area residents showed their complete disbelief at the incredible damage done by the storm, which brought the wrath of the heavens down on bewildered GTA residents.
		As a result of flood damage to the road, all Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) buses on the 36 Finch West and 309 Finch West routes will be diverted in both directions via Driftwood Ave., Grandravine Drive and Sentinel Road.

		Angered and frustrated by the TTC's ability to almost instantaneously flush all this goodwill down the toilet, we at ttcrider.ca have put the original map back online and written an open letter to TTC Chair Howard Moscoe requesting the map be allowed to exist.
		We view the TTC as belonging to the Toronto public and feel that celebrating the TTC through projects like the anagram map should be encouraged, not quashed.
		I have travelled on the TTC for decades and always felt that I was part of a fluid community on wheels, an extended family of people sharing an experience.

	Finch West (TTC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Finch West is a proposed station of the Yonge-University Spadina line of the subway in Toronto, Canada, to be built on its western branch, the Spadina line.
		If built, it would be located on Keele Street at Finch Avenue West, and could open in approximately 2013 or 2014.
		The City of Toronto and the TTC have indicated their concerns about lacking funding to operate the subway once it is built.

		The Easier Access program is the first attempt by the TTC to make Toronto's transportation system barrier-free since Wheel-Trans buses were introduced in 1975.
		Another incentive outlined in the TTC plan was to offer an optional tie-down for wheelchair passengers beside the regular seats.
		Last month, the TTC introduced elevators and accessible subway routes at the St. George, Bathurst, Kennedy, Finch and Kipling stations.

		For years I’ve been scouring every inch of this city, on the TTC no less, looking desperately for a nun remedy (scars of a Cathoilic boyhood and all.) And there it is, right at the foot of my street.
		Since the higher ups at the TTC seem to not have a sense of humour, I’ve been told to remove the Anagram TTC map: The TTC has not granted, and expressly denies, permission to you or the Website to reproduce or otherwise use TTC intellectual property in whole or in part.
		TTC lawyers state that the playful map is in violation of TTC trademarks and may confuse riders enroute to Bathurst Station when all they find is “Butt Rash”.

		The TTC signed a $1.4 million dollar contract with IBM Canda Ltd. in September 2003 for the design, development, supply and rollout of 10 Metropass vending machines (called PVM, or pass vending machines for short).
		In January, the TTC installed the first PVM at Finch station and has since put another machine at Finch and a third one at Eglinton.
		As for future uses of the terminals, TTC will be looking at how to integrate them with the GTA Farecard, which is intended for use on transit systems from Hamilton in the southwest to Durham region in the east, starting as early as next year.

	Spacing Wire • understanding the urban landscape » Automatic Train Control: What’s the Catch?
		The TTC Finch and YRT Regional bus terminals can barely function in rush hour due to the heavy traffic from all the buses and cars going to the TTC Kiss and Ride, TTC East/West Finch commuter parking lots and North American Centre underground parking lot.
		The daily bus count is such that, in 2001 when the TTC released the Rapid Transit Expansion Study, it didn’t recommend an extension to Steeles — it instead recommended an extension 1 km further north to Clark Blvd, with an intermediate stop at Steeles.
		One, the TTC finds ways to manipulate RT studies and EAs to suit their own purposes (keep the money in Toronto proper, to heck with 905) or those of the Government or Minister of the Day as a practical quid pro quo to secure desperately needed capital and operating subsidies (e.g.

		The Meridian Residences are further enhanced by their great location at the Finch and Yonge subway station – the gateway to the city.
		Access to the TTC at Finch station makes travelling throughout the city very easy, as does Meridian’s close proximity to GO transit, and Highways 401, 404 and 407.

		But they have to have something to shovel money into their Dutch tax haven (and avoid the taxes they want governments to send to poor countries).
		On Metroblogging Toronto a recent post contrasts the award of the TTC's new bimetallic tokens to a US firm with the award of the subway contract to Bombardier.
		At the same time, the TTC should not use these tokens as an excuse to defer the introduction of a GTA transit card as full integration of TTC, GO Transit and the other regional transit authorities is crucial to avoiding even worse gridlock than we already have.
