TTC delivers new interactive map to help users navigate system
· Toronto Sun
Have you ever wondered where your train is and why it is late or delayed? Well, maybe never wonder any more.
The TTC has published an interactive Live Map on its website with the end goal of helping customers “navigate the system with greater confidence and real‑time awareness,” according to a news release from the transit commission on Monday.

The map will provide “a clear, interactive view of subway and light rail transit (LRT) service across the network,” the news release said.
Bus and streetcar routes will be added in a future update, targeted for release later this year.
The TTC is also releasing an interactive map in phases to gather customer feedback and refine the experience before further expansion.
“Customer input will be critical in helping to shape the final version of this interactive tool,” the news release said.
More features on the map include a navigational panel where transit users can explore service details such as real-time train and bus departures, occupancy levels and station features.
There is also a map tool function where people can learn how to navigate the map, a location service function which enables a hand-held device to see nearby stations and a feedback section where users can share their thoughts directly with the TTC’s development team.
The Live Map is also compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
The live map is accessible through the TTC’s website or via a dedicated webpage. To learn more about the pilot project, visit ttc.ca.
