Bus connections[edit]

The TTC has issued a PDF showing the proposed bus routes connecting to Line 6 once it opens. There is also a more convenient copy of its bus route map. Assuming we want to document bus connections for Line 6 by stop, we could do one of the following:

Add a column to the Line 6 Finch West#Stops table for connection similar to Hurontario LRT#Stations and connections. The number and name for each route would show but not the destination(s) for each bus route.
Create a separate table in the article similar to that in Finch West station#Surface connections but with an additional column added for the stop name. This table would show bus route destinations plus any other details about the route.

@Blaixx, Joeyconnick, Johnny Au, Transportfan70, and Turini2: Is there a preference for listing bus connections to Line 6? TheTrolleyPole (talk) 23:22, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It would be great if we can do the same for Line 5 Eglinton regardless of the result, especially given that Line 5 also runs on the surface and there are surface connections with the line without the need to go to the individual station articles. There's also a PDF for the new bus connections upon Line 5's opening. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:27, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like there are about 30 bus routes with connect with one or more stops on the line. I think that would lead to a massive option 2 style table so I am leaning toward option 1. BLAIXX 02:19, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I must agree. Option 2 would be unwieldy, so I go with Option 1. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:04, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The stations in the infobox on the stops default to "station" not "stop"[edit]

The Preceding station and Following station thing, for instance, says Driftwood (station), rather than Driftwood (stop). I have no idea how the hell this thing works and im just posting so someone smart can fix it. Humulator (talk) 15:40, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, can someone fix it, since for example on the Eglinton Line all the aboveground stopping points are listed as stops whilst the underground are labelled "stops" Danielg532 (talk) 00:50, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thought we had clarified that LRT stops don't warrant separate articles[edit]

I see that Danielg532 has started creating articles for this line's stops. Pretty sure we've discussed that surface-level stops with minimal infrastructure don't warrant their own separate articles and aren't notable in and of themselves. —Joeyconnick (talk) 19:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Opening Date of Q4 2024[edit]

All the reliable sources currently say that Line 6 Finch West will not open until Q4 2024. If anyone decides to add a specific day or a specific month to the opening, please provide a new reliable source that says so. Thanks. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 14:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@T&TRKFNF2022 please see above, I have reverted your edits. Turini2 (talk) 16:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not just that, but several hidden notes state that the opening date should not be changed from Q4 2024 unless new reliable sources say otherwise and these notes surround the opening date itself. I have added all the notes myself. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
