Although there's been no official word, the TTC has found its remodernization project hit the likes of St. Andrew station. Maybe not as grand as Museum station, but it is definitely refreshing to see even subtle improvements to the subway. Keeping with the original 60's colour palette, the station is slowly replacing its small thin panels, for much larger ones. This minor change comes as the Toronto Transit Commission attempts "to revitalize the Bloor-Danforth and the University line stations."

The project was announced nearly two years ago by TTC Chair, Adam Giambrone. I was once under the impression that most of the stations would end up looking like Museum in one way or another. A different motif for each station definitely sounded very appealing. Plus, it would be extremely easy for tourists and citizens alike to navigate... but the project came at a cost. Now, it seems that the focus and funds have shifted to Transit City.

Subway abusers will have a harder time trying to replicate and obtain Metropasses. This morning, TTC Chair, Adam Giambrone unveiled the new holographic Metropass at TTC headquarters. The first edition will hit the system this month. No, this isn't a special Star Trek Edition - this is the TTC's newest initiative to reduce fare fraud.

The Metropass itself will come with a sticker on the face which must be removed by the commuter before use. The sticker will stop users from pass renting, a practice where users purchase the pass only to return it later for a refund. Fraud accounts for $2 million in lost annual revenue a number which could be a fraction of that with the new measures.

Unless you're superhuman, biking across the city to work seems absurd. We all walk, bike, drive or use transit to get to work, but by using a combination of the four, we can usually get there a bit more efficiently. Plus it definitely doesn't hurt to burn that lunchtime poutine off.

Luckily, the TTC is slowly making it easier to couple bikes and public transit together. For years Red Rocket users have been able to lock up their bikes at the station and on buses, but many feared damage to their wheels of steel. This is why the City of Toronto has stepped in to open private bike parking earlier this week.
