TTC service just got a whole lot faster and more reliable with a major project complete Toronto TTC
As of Saturday, September 24, Canada's busiest subway line
Like any system that relies on human input, the fixed-block system was not exactly running at peak efficiency. While still completely safe even up to its final weekend in operation, a lack of automation negatively impacted the old system's speed and reliability. This translates to significant reductions in signal delays, including an 80 per cent reduction on the stretch from Dupont to Wilson.And it's cheaper to operate, including a reduction in train electricity usage.Installation of the ATC has proven to be a constant headache for transit riders, with Line 1 grinding to a halt on portions of Line 1 during weekends since 2017, forcing passengers to endure shuttle bus misery or find alternative routes around the closure.
