	Transit Toronto - Content: The Scarborough Rapid Transit Line
		Scarborough officials wanted a further extension of the subway, but the TTC looked at the costs involved and decided that a cheaper project was needed.
		To effect these changes (which, to their credit, the province did pay for), the Scarborough RT had to be shut down for three months during the summer of 1988.
		One possibility was to scrap the Scarborough RT altogether and replace it with an extension of the Bloor-Danforth subway.

	Australian Information from Wikipedia
		A current focus for the TTC's rapid-transit expansion is a short extension bringing the western branch of the Yonge-University-Spadina Line north to York University, Steeles Avenue and Vaughan Corporate Centre in York Region.
		Unionized workers began picketing TTC sites on the morning of May 29 in response to a dispute over shift changes for unionized TTC employees due to the unionized workers feeling that management had broken the Collective Agreement between the management and the union.
		TTC Constables also drive in the white unmarked and marked cruisers (blue stripes with crest) Ford Crown Victoria, similar to the ones used by the Toronto Police Service.

	Scarborough RT (TTC) at AllExperts
		The Scarborough RT (sometimes shortened to SRT or RT) is a public transport metro line in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
		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.
		Only a year after it opened, the TTC had to renovate its south-western terminus at Kennedy station, because the looped turnaround track, originally designed for streetcars under the earlier plan and not needed for the bi-directional ICTS trains, was causing derailments; it was replaced with a single terminal track.

	The Little Train that Couldn't (Bow. James Bow.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		On the other hand, the Scarborough RT was a transit mistake, robbing Scarborough of the beginnings of a high-speed streetcar network and starting the long pause in subway construction that put Toronto far behind where it needs to be.
		Riders on the Scarborough RT aren't just riding between the Scarborough Town Centre and the southern terminal at Kennedy station; most are transferring to and from the Bloor-Danforth subway at Kennedy and riding to and from points west.
		The TTC is already committed to extending the Sheppard subway to the Scarborough Town Centre and having the Bloor-Danforth subway meet it would produce another subway crossroads that would be a major catalyst for development.

		Scarborough RT The Scarborough RT currently links Kennedy station, the terminus of the Bloor-Danforth line with McCowan station, near Scarborough Town Centre.
		Finch-Etobicoke RT This line will be the realization of plan which has been on the TTC's long term plans for some time, and will address overcrowding on west-end bus routes.
		The hydro corridor which runs from the northeast corner of Scarborough to the Eglinton and Victoria Park area provides an opportunity to construct a light rail line which offers a quick route to the Eglinton subway and Yonge subways for northeast corner residents, and will serve areas between the Eglinton subway and the Scarborough RT.

	A Funkaoshi Production :: Blog :: The TTC Fare Hike (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The RT is pretty useless: Dave has stories of waiting at Lawrence East station for an RT train that wasn’t packed like a sardine, watching 3-4 pass him by before he could cram himself onto a train; that’s not good.
		The TTC should be better then it is. It benefits the city to have a viable public transit system.
		TTC is doing all that it can, given our car-friendly environment and our undersized budgets, and blaming the inefficiencies at the TTC is becoming just an easy target.

	Toronto Transit Commission - Gurupedia
		Instead, a proposed extension on the Danforth end of the Bloor-Danforth line was built in 1985 as the Scarborough RT (light rail transit) line, which went from Kennedy to McCowan Station.
		The Scarborough RT is also considered a 'subway-style' service and is included on subway maps and in that level of administration, though it is primarily aboveground, has less capacity and uses highly differing technology.
		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.

	COMMISSION REPORT MACRO
		TTC staff would be pleased to work with City of Toronto staff and members of the City Cycling Committee to identify potential areas at Finch, Kipling, and Kennedy Subway Stations, which could be used by an outside agency or organization for the purpose of establishing bike-share facilities; and
		Bicycles should not be allowed on the subway or the Scarborough RT during peak periods because, during those times, the subways and RT are too crowded, and bicycles would inconvenience passengers and constrain movements during those crowded times.
		On a daily basis, at peak times the subway and RT are operating at their practical capacities with fully loaded cars and regular occurrences of crush crowding conditions on trains.

	COMMISSION REPORT MACRO
		The TTC has also developed programs for training front-line personnel on accessibility issues and to communicate with passengers about the accessible features and services that are available.
		Staff have recommended that the remaining 40 subway and Scarborough RT stations in the system be made accessible at a cost of $230 million, but currently there is no funding approved for this.
		The TTC is committed to making its services accessible to better meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities, and has established a systematic program to ensure that this is accomplished in a cost-effective and timely way.

		The three TTC and one GO bus routes that stop in front of UTSC's Student Centre are already overcrowded and frequently delayed-a problem heightened by the addition of new riders from Centennial College's newly built HP Science and Technology Centre across the street.
		Unsatisfied with the response from the TTC, Wulkan is planning to circulate a petition signed by both UTSC and Centennial College students.
		Among the ideas considered at the meeting was an extension of the current SRT system that veers north, away from UTSC, replacing the current SRT vehicles with larger ones that would require a modification of the rails, as well as a streetcar-like LRT and replacement subway lines.

		Although he is a former TTC Commissioner, Kelly tended to vote against service improvements or other iniatives that would have required increased transit funding.
		However, he has acknowledged that money is needed for key projects like the reconstruction of the Scarborough RT and suggests that reconstruction could be rolled in with new streetcar purchases.
		He has a few votes against TTC funding against him, but it is his combattative style that gave him the lowest ratings of all the councillors.

		Replacing the RT line with surface transit such as buses or streetcars would only add more traffic to our already-clogged streets.

		Because the TTC already has the right of way, this is the quickest and least expensive option.

		TTC chair Howard Moscoe said those ideas also have to be looked at in light of the need to extend the Sheppard subway, which runs from Yonge Street, east to Don Mills Road, on to Scarborough Town Centre.
		He also thinks, as Scarborough is filled with provincial Liberal members, there may be a lot of pressure put on the Dalton McGuinty government to go that way.

		TTC Commissioners are facing up to certain realities about the line that have been noted elsewhere.
		The TTC’s Ridership Growth Strategy report estimated that capacity problems on the SRT was costing the system $6 million per year, and it is impossible to replace the cars on the line, much less expand the fleet, without incurring severe, previously unbudgeted costs.
		We have already said that our preference would be to spend the money to extend the Bloor-Danforth subway from Kennedy to Scarborough Centre, replacing the SRT and eliminating the inconvenient transfer between the two lines at Kennedy.
