As someone who is visually impaired and after listening to your videos over the past couple months, I've come up with a ranking of accessibility for different services you use in your videos.
First, UPX, it gets an F. I heard no announcements made for any of the stations while you were aboard, automated or otherwise, which is a huge accessibility problem and an automatic failure in my book.
Next, Go Transit rail. This gets a solid B+. Sounds like there are some station announcements for arriving trains which is good, and the trains themselves do announce the stops, manually and with automated systems in English and French. The main thing that is missing is transfer data of any kind, which can definitely be helpful to have. I'm not sure what the coaches are like or platforms, so I can only go off what I hear.
Next, TTC line 1. I give this an A. It is very good overall, with different chimes for opening and closing, announcements for doors closing, line name and direction, and all stations, including transfers to other TTC rail lines. What is missing is connecting information for regionoal and national rail services, plus streetcar lines which would be good to have, keeping it from getting an A+.
Line 2 gets a B+, similar to Go. No transfer announcements of any kind, but the rest of it is solid.
The streetcars that I hear get a D. There are station announcements, but several issues. There are no line number and direction announcements on the exterior, and the opening and closing door chimes are the same, neither of which is great for accessibility. Also, no door closing announcement. Basically, as someone who is visually impaired, if more than one streetcar stopped somewhere, I could not tell independently from the vehicles which one I should get on.
Next, Go Transit buses. I give them an A, missing out on A plus due to no transfer announcements, but the system is really good otherwise.
As for Via Rail, I give them a C. No automated train announcements, just manual ones, and they seem to be as you depart a station and not as you arrive when they should have both, at least from what I've heard from your videos. The station announcements that I've heard are highly detailed and useful, so that's definitely a plus.
That's what I've observed from the Toronto area transit agencies you've covered on this channel so far. Wasn't really sure where to include MiWay as your videos there haven't given me the best look. The announcements are almost always low and hard to hear for me. I also didn't include Kitchiner, as I only got a couple examples of their light rail.
From terminal 1, isn’t it faster to take 900 express to Kipling Station then Line 2 to Kennedy? Its also only $3.35
It's better to take UPX to the station near Dundas West station, get off and then go on the subway to Kennedy, which Transmania Ontario's doing.
I listened to his other line 2 stuff, and no, that sounds like it'd add time, going the entire length of line 2, which is about an hour or so.
