MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto So does Centennial College, which had an LRT station promised to its largest campus until 2013, when that got dropped for the subway. Now, it’s behind the mayor’s "bold vision." Of course, the mayor’s vision is more than the subway. There’s SmartTrack, and also that 17-stop Eglinton East LRT line. The subway ate the LRT’s budget, sure, but the mayor says we’ll find a way, somehow, to build both. In Scarborough, he told his
troops the LRT will not only go to UTSC but, "we hope, beyond" to Malvern Town Centre. Scarborough councillors Glenn De Baeremaeker and Neethan Shan say the same. The city already needs federal funds for a relief line subway, and a waterfront LRT, but who says we must choose? The first reason for the Scarborough Subway is to shave minutes off trips downtown. The second is pride. Scarborough’s been stiffed, denied prosperity only the subway can give. Not having that tunnel to the mall, the mayor says, "keeps us from feeling like a family." The cost is huge, but who cares? It may be a boondoggle, but what isn’t? Aren’t they going to build that rail deck park downtown? Somewhere, there’s money. Politicians make promises. Those promises aren’t lies, exactly. Over time, they fade, and you forget who made them. For now, all of Scarborough’s eggs are in one basket.
Again, it’s not all Trump. The American dollar is a factor too, which is why more and more Canadians are finding other warm locales where their dollars go further.
Facebook.com/InsideToronto
Well, that’s that. Scarborough’s marching behind its subway. Next week, Mayor John Tory expects "war" - again - as the subway, that express tunnel to one of the grandest shopping malls in Eastern Greater Toronto, returns to Toronto Council. There, it faces people who, on a Monday, would say it isn’t Monday, the mayor told people at a Scarborough meeting this month. Presumably, these people would call $3.35 billion too much for one subway stop. But the mayor says he can stop such quibbles, once and for all, if Scarborough helps. Which Scarborough will, because the subway has enlisted nearly everyone in Scarborough who couldn’t say no to it. The University of Toronto Scarborough, planning a massive expansion of its campus around the Eglinton East light-rail-transit line, stands with the mayor.
U.S. firm that crunches numbers for airline and travel booking websites, projects that by the end of next year America will have lost 6.3 million visits, which translates into US$10.8 billion in spending. And Canada? Toronto’s Comfort Tours typically takes between 200 and 300 tourists to New York during March break. This year, 11 people signed up, the company owner said. Halifax travel consultant Bob Sime said in a media interview: "... what I hear from the hoteliers and car rental companies, and so forth, is that in traditional snowbird destinations, the winter destinations for Canada, you’ve got about a 13 to a 15 per cent drop in figures to date." Canada’s Girl Guides has announced it won’t travel to the U.S. Other organizations are expected to follow suit. Again, it’s not all Trump. The American dollar is a factor too, which is why more and more Canadians are finding other warm locales where their dollars go further. One country benefitting, ironically, is Mexico, so frequently a Trump target. That’s the thing. America’s tourism loss can be a gain for competing destinations. Trump’s unwelcoming America could be a welcome boost for Canadian tourism.

MARCHING BEHIND THE SCARBOROUGH SUBWAY
It comes as no surprise that Donald Trump’s travel ban - now stalled by the American judiciary, again - has resulted in a chill on prospective travel from the seven nations named in the ban. After all, Trump himself referred to it as a "Muslim ban" during his election campaign. But the chill isn’t limited to those countries. An Australian travel magazine - Traveller recently carried the headline "Think twice about visiting America if you don’t want the Mem Fox treatment," referring to an author who has sworn she will never return to the United States after being detained and questioned on her way to a literary conference. A British survey taken in February found about 30 per cent of respondents were less likely to visit the country now that Trump is in power. And Britons make up the third largest number of foreign visitors to the U.S., after Canadians and Mexicans. British travel bookings to the U.S. are down year over year, although travel experts point out that is also related to a strong American dollar. The official marketing organization of New York, NYC & Company, says it expects 300,000 fewer international visitors in 2017, due to "travel ban related rhetoric." Tourism Economics, a

TTC scheduling team members Scott Haskell (left), Daisy Chan, Eric Chu and Laurence Lui, at the North York Centre subway station, are responsible for planning service throughout the TTC network.
Schedulers keep TTC on the move Team’s goal is to provide optimum service for riders
insidetoronto.com
RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com It’s been a long time since someone complained to Scott Haskell about an overly large number of TTC buses. "People would run up and shake their fist in my face," said Haskell, head of the TTC’s service planning
department who has a history with the transit commission running well back into the 1990s. "They’d ask me what I would say if and when a bus ran over their child. That was the time it was." Fast forward to 2017, and one could strongly argue dependence on public transit has never been higher.
That makes for a lot of work for Haskell and his colleagues in Strategy and Service Planning. Earlier this year, Metroland Media Toronto had the opportunity to learn how service levels are determined by the TTC. From a nondescript office tower in North York, the quartet of Haskell, Dai-
sy Chan, Eric Chu and Laurence Lui co-ordinates every TTC service: buses, streetcars, subway trains. The team is ultimately responsible for calculating based on demand what routes should receive more service, introducing new schedules every six weeks, and which should be cut, as well as making planning
recommendations for elected officials to consider, or not. "I don’t think people realize how much service the TTC runs," said Haskell. "You can walk out to a bus stop and there will be a bus there within 10 minutes most times of the day all l See SCHEDULERS page 11
’We have to juggle with the resources we have.’ - Laurence Lui manually are getting more accurate, said Haskell, thanks to automatic counters. About 20 per cent of buses currently have the technology, although streetcars still depend on "standing" counts performed by TTC personnel to determine ridership. The TTC employs two passenger crowding standards, for peak and offpeak periods to determine headways, the distance between vehicles. During busier times, an acceptable standard includes every seat on a vehicle filled, plus room for standing. At the busiest
times of a given hour during peak periods, it’s tolerable to have more crowding even to the point some vehicles are too busy to board. "But if you look at, say, the other 45 minutes of the hour, it might be less busy and on average we’re still within our standard," said Lui. "If we try to plan for just that 15 minutes (when it is busiest) we’re going to be operating way too much service." The final determinant of a transit schedule is calculating optimal run-times for vehicles. That’s easier said than done in a city as congested by Toronto. The process has improved in accuracy by mining historical GPS data in an effort to calculate how long it should take on average to service a given route. While the team meets with the TTC’s different operating divisions four
times a year, the general perception among vehicle operators is a lack of understanding for traffic, leading to what are considered unrealistic schedules. Even with better travel data, Chan admitted it won’t ever be possible to gain a fully accurate calculation of optimal trip time. "There is no right or wrong running time, that has to be acknowledged," she said. "There are no absolutes, only a range of what’s feasible." Increasingly, TTC vehicles are travelling slower on average due to worsening congestion. For the team, it means constantly having to make tough choices, such as adding more vehicles, and absorbing extra cost, or reducing crowding standards just to maintain the service. "We have to juggle with the resources we have," said Lui.
@InsideTOnews
day long. There’s hardly a transit agency in North America with that level of service." Broadly speaking, the team’s goal is to improve service as much as possible to get hundreds of millions of riders moving as smoothly as possible. That means determining minimum service standards, anything from acceptable crowding standards for bus use during rush hour, to whether a community could benefit from more service depending on what transit already exists in the area, and how nearby it is. "We weigh all (of the factors) together and if it comes out that overall customers will benefit from a route change, we’ll recommend it," said Chu. Certain factors are weightier than others: transferring to another
route has long been considered onerous compared to travel contained to one vehicle, even if it takes longer. But the weighing of it can change based on customer feedback, said Lui. "The transfer penalty is pretty significant, but with existing service frequencies now we’re hearing from customers it’s not as bad as they thought," he said. While route changes only take place about six times a year, down from 3040 in the past, service changes are informed by ridership counts, crowding standards and vehicle running times, and can take place hundreds of times in a year. Every existing transit route has a predetermined service benchmark, which is then periodically adjusted depending on the need. Ridership counts which are still largely performed
