Sandbox

I don't know what you're trying to do in your sandbox. I am trying to help you, but if I knew the purpose things would be easier for me to give you some guidance. Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:01, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

You contacted me. I didn't know users could access other users sandboxes I'm trying to get the reference links to work. Only the Brampton Transit still won't link. Did you externally modify the links in my sandbox?

First - do not edit another editor's user page. Never! Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:39, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

What is the purpose of the links? Where are you going to use them? Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:40, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

"First - do not edit another editor's user page. Never!"

Sorry. I'm new at this contacting other users stuff. I thought you contacted me with and edited mine so I contacted you by editing yours. It's not supposed to work that way?

This is your "Talk" page and you edited my "User" page. It's easier to conduct a conversation in one place. I can see that you are new, and I was trying to help you with the project in your sandbox. Secondarywaltz (talk) 04:13, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:HurontarioStGoogle.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:HurontarioStGoogle.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Earwig ^talk 23:49, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Peel Regional Road 20.png

Thanks for uploading File:Peel Regional Road 20.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:05, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Help me!

Please help me with...I uploaded a file which was a modified file of an existing already file on Wikimedia Commons, which means it's free to modify. But when I put in what thought was the proper licensing info by crediting the original creator, and uploaded it got a warning the upload was a violation. Here's the link to the file's licensing page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peel_Regional_Road_20.png

Transportfan70 Transportfan70 (talk) 21:24, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Where did you find it? Please link to the original so that I can help. You have linked to a user page as the source. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:34, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Hi. The issue is the lack of copyright tag. I know you spelled out the license in words, but you'll need the {{cc-by-3.0}} tag on the page. Additionally, under "Permission", you should list the exact file on Commons by EuroCarGT you modified to create your file. For example, if you had based it on File:Peel Regional Road 17.svg, you could say something like "This image is a modified version of File:Peel Regional Road 17.svg, created by EuroCarGT, and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. I license my modifications to the file under the same license." I hope this helps. Cheers, Nick⁠—⁠^Contact/_Contribs 21:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Supplemental: and this should be uploaded to Commons with the other similar files, or ask for help from the person who created the ones you want to match. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:44, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

I inserted the link to the proper license: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peel_Regional_Road_20.png#Summary Is it good now? You also mentioned that I should list the exact file I modified. Is the one you posted traced to be the exact one? There are so many I just picked one.

WAKE UP CALL!

@Transportfan70:} Your uploads to commons of File:Hwy400and9construction.png and File:YongeStSimcoeSign.png are at the risk of being deleted, because you have not properly licensed them. Please fix that, or they will be lost. Secondarywaltz (talk) 18:55, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Page won't move from draft to article

This is the page I want to move from Drafts to an article:

Could it not move because Lakeshore Road (no actual article) redirects to Ontario Highway 2 and prevents it from moving?

Transportfan70 (talk) 19:12, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

I have moved the draft. WP:RM would be a good place to request a move. Huon (talk) 21:40, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. But my sandbox still has the draft still in it, which was itself a redirect from a page move. How would I restore the sandbox to its default?

Your sandbox was a redirect. Diannaa reset it. On an unrelated note, please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). The wiki software will turn those tildes into your username, a link to your talk page (not particularly relevant here but helpful elsewhere) and a timestamp.

Downsview

Hi there - I note your edit to Downsview today, where you claim that it's popularly thought of as extending up to Steeles, but you've added it as an unreferenced/unsupported statement. It really needs a reference; frankly I don't think Downsview goes above Sheppard or Finch, but I'm just one person. My reflex was to revert your edit, but I thought I would leave you this note instead as a courtesy. PKT(alk) 17:18, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

The perception that Downsview extends to Steeles is common. I've heard it quite a lot. Lots of businesses in particular do. For example:

Hi there, I see you are making some changes to this page. I brought up a discussion in the talk page about it. It seems like text is preferred over images, especially for computers that have difficulty reading images, and due to the fact that the streetcar and bus icons look almost identical.

Brant and Prince Edward

Hi. Pardon the two reverts. Ontario's unconventional approach to municipal statuses has admittedly made things complicated on Wikipedia over the years. Before delving into the pre-tier municipal statuses of the above, see the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ontario/Archive 1#City infoboxes: "tier" or "conventional" municipal statuses (or both)?. This is where consensus was achieved on how to present municipal status types in the settlement_type field of infoboxes for Ontario municipalities.

January 1, 2003 was the effective date when the new municipal status regime of upper, lower and single tier municipalities was implemented (see third note here). According to StatCan's Interim List of Changes to Municipal Boundaries, Status and Name From January 2, 1996 to January 1, 2001, the Town of Paris and the townships of Brantford, Burford, Oakland, Onondaga, and South Dumfries amalgamated to create a city named Brant-on-the-Grand effective January 1, 20011999 (page 154 of 419). Concurrently, Brant-on-the-Grand was renamed Brant, with city remaining its status (also page 154). Similarly, the Town of Picton, the villages of Bloomfield and Wellington, and the townships of Ameliasburgh, Athol, Hallowell, Hillier, North Marysburgh, Sophiasburgh, and South Marysburgh amalgamated to create a city named Prince Edward on January 1, 1998 (page 220 of 419). What I understand from this is Brant and Prince Edward, each with city status upon amalgamation, branded themselves as counties in name only by adopting the official legal names of County of Brant and Prince Edward County respectively. Hwy43 (talk) 23:57, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Why not call it a Municipality then? Nowhere in either article does it refer to them as cities.Transportfan70 (talk) 18:27, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

That would not work though. We have 65-70 municipalities in Ontario with "municipality" as their municipal status sub-type, none of which are the County of Brant and Prince Edward County. A sentence can be added to both articles about their unconventional city status. In the meantime, I will see if I can peruse copies of the Ontario Gazette that include the ministerial orders that set out the amalgamations. Hopefully the ministerial orders confirmed both their post-amalgamation municipal status types and official legal names for the period before January 1, 2003 where the new tiered system of municipal status types came into effect. Hwy43 (talk) 03:28, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

And it turns out both articles already mention city status. See the last paragraph at County of Brant#History (I have since revised it), and the first sentence at Prince Edward County, Ontario#Government. I've since added this to the end of Prince Edward County, Ontario#History too. Hwy43 (talk) 03:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

I uploaded it to fill a space to replace an oddly undeletable file in an infobox. A white space remained so I didn't use it. Delete it. Transportfan70 (talk) 02:54, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

TCH

On Ontario Provincial Highway Network, you made some changes, particularly this one, which makes me figure we would be ideal juxtapositions to arrive at ideal wording.

In particular, the removal of this wording has me contemplating:

"a distinctive white maple leaf on a reflective green background used throughout Canada, which is placed below or beside the provincial marker in Ontario." -> "distinctive green markers with a white maple leaf on them throughout Canada."

I'll offer more on this tomorrow, but for now I'll just say that the article should, almost exclusively, pretend as if Ontario is the only place on Earth, unless necessary to expand beyond that. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 03:21, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

I only modified the text and added some info to make the words flow better due to the overall edit, I didn't actually write it initially. TBH, to describe the oddness of TCH designation in Ontario, you need to compare other provinces. Transportfan70 (talk) 15:05, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Indeed. I'm hoping for some input since I've generally gone unabated on highway topics. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 00:22, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Information regarding transfers between TTC and other suburban transit agencies, special fare agreements for TTC services outside Toronto and TTC Times Two with Metrolinx.

It is very clear for many years now that the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has no free transfer agreements with any of the suburban or long distance transit service providers - Brampton Transit, MiWay (Mississauga Transit), GO Transit, York Region Transit (YRT), Durham Region Transit (DRT), Via Rail, Amtrak, Greyhound, Megabus, TOK Coachlines and Ontario Northland.

Anytime customers transfer between TTC and other suburban or long-distance transit companies (listed above), they are required to pay an additional fare for the selected transit agency.

Even though Union Pearson Express (UPX), operates from Toronto's Union Station to Pearson Airport only (which is only within the City of Toronto's boundaries), customers transferring between TTC and UPX also have to pay additional fares for this service as well.

Although from January 2018 to March 2020 Metrolinx (which owns Presto, GO and UPX services) used to provide discounted double fares for customers transferring between TTC and GO or UPX services - both of which are fare by distance commuter services - so long as the customer was paying a single fare using a Presto card.

When it comes to several TTC contracted bus routes that operate from Toronto to Mississauga (west of Airport) or Toronto to York Region (north of Steeles) on behalf of those municipalities respectively. Customers have to pay both the TTC and MiWay or YRT jurisdiction fares respectively for these TTC bus services they rely on if they cross the municipal borders. (South of Steeles means TTC fare, north of Steeles means YRT fare) (West of Airport means MiWay fare, East of Airport means TTC fare) The additional fare on these TTC bus services outside of Toronto is the equivalent of the suburban transit agency's YRT or MiWay fare respectively and transfers to those agency's connecting buses - so long as the transfer is valid and fits within these respective transfer rules - are also included. As for the Line 1 Yonge University Spadina subway Even though the two subway stations located in Vaughan (a part of York Region) includes Highway 407 and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre stations. There are no extra fares required for customers to get on or off at these stations as these aforementioned stations are part of the TTC Toronto fare zone due to the impracticality of implementing a pay-on-exit system. This means customers can ride the full length of Line 1 on a single TTC fare. However customers transferring between the TTC subway and other suburban transit agencies - such as GO Transit, Ontario Northland, YRT or Brampton Transit - are required to pay an additional fare at these aforementioned stations, like they do when transferring between TTC and other suburban transit agencies located within or bordering Toronto.

As for the TTC Times Two program. Even though a separate fare is charged when transferring between TTC and Metrolinx-owned GO Transit or Union Pearson Express (UPX) services, however riders who paid the initial TTC fare with cash, tokens or legacy tickets and who obtain a paper transfer from their first TTC ride can use GO or UPX for an intermediate stage of their journey and can change back to the TTC – at designated locations only which can be found here [1] – without having to pay a second TTC fare to complete a trip; this policy is called "TTC Times Two". These restrictions do not apply when using Presto. (For example if a customer swipes a Presto card using the card balance when boarding the first TTC vehicle their TTC fare will be deducted and a two-hour TTC transfer will be applied to the Presto card automatically. Then when you transfer and swipe on and off GO or UPX, their extra GO or UPX fare will also be deducted from the Presto e-purse balance and when you get back on TTC and swipe your Presto card again to complete a trip - regardless of location - so long its within the 2-hour TTC transfer window, your TTC transfer will be validated and no extra TTC fare is charged).

I hope this helps. Alex (Brampton) (talk) 15:41, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

You're not getting my point: The sections in various articles for fares outside Toronto have to do with FARE ZONES and how they compare with the old (pre-1973) fare zone system for TTC buses crossing zones or connecting to subway stations outside the "former" City of Toronto. TTC buses crossing Steeles into York Region etc. are the equivalents of TTC buses crossing outside the "old" Toronto boundary into the pre-1973 Zone 2, and local suburban agencies (YRT, Miway, etc.) are comparable to the old Zone 2 TTC routes connecting at subway stations (or connecting with inter-zonal routes) in the old Zone 2. As for GO Transit, Ontario Northland, etc., these are a different order of transit altogether and don't have general free transfers with the TTC in Toronto itself either (seriously, does any normal person honestly expect to transfer free to an intercity bus to Thunder Bay on a TTC fare?) and are thus irrelevant to the topic of fare zones.

As for you other (excessively detailed) points, I don't have much dispute with them, other than bad grammar, unnecessary detail, and saying transfers to suburban agency buses are "free" after paying the extra outside-Toronto fare (which IS the suburban fare so they're hardly free) on TTC buses.

And I'm not the only editor that has issues with your editing.

I hope THAT helps you. Cheers. Transportfan70 (talk) 20:02, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

TTC horns

Can Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Flexity Outlook streetcars honk? Some people say there is/was no such thing as TTC streetcar horns, as they only have ding ding ding, is that right? People say that only TTC buses and subways honk and streetcars have chime only, is that right? If the TTC streetcars had the honk what do they sound like? Alex (Brampton) (talk) 16:56, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

The new streetcars have both bells and horns. Transportfan70 (talk) 20:03, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

What does the new TTC streetcar horn sound like? Alex (Brampton) (talk) 18:28, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Hard to describe, but not like car or truck horns. PS: Check your talk page. Transportfan70 (talk) 00:27, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

TTC Scarborough LRT future plans

Do you think that the Toronto Transit Commission should keep the existing Line 3 Scarborough also known as the Scarborough Rapid Transit line in service until 2026 since the 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to take place in North America that summer including Toronto, Canada when thousands of people around the world are expected to descend into our city? I don't want the TTC to close Line 3 until after the FIFA World Cup is finished that year. TTC should keep Line 3 trains in service until fall 2026 and then close it down and replace it TTC buses until the new underground Line 2 Bloor-Danforth subway extension into Scarborough at Sheppard and McCowan opens.

Mississauga Transitway Map.svg

Hey, I noticed a small error in an image you uploaded recently. In File:Mississauga Transitway Map.svg, you have a marker at "Fieldgate" but no station exists there in the actual system. I know at one point, Tahoe was planned to be named Fieldgate but that changed before the station opened. Cheers, BLAIXX 19:49, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Will correct Transportfan70 (talk) 16:12, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Done.

While were on the subject, I see that "Future services" in the Port Credit GO station infobox for the Hurontario LRT uses green for the line color. Is that official? I used black for my map to be generic Transportfan70 (talk) 02:11, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! No, that colour is not official. The green shade was used by Metrolinx in some promotional material but I expect it to change. BLAIXX 03:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
