🚇 Toronto Transit Commission - Real Time Journey - Line 2 - Kennedy to Kipling
📔 DESCRIPTION 📔
Take a ride in the cab of the TTC's (@OfficialTTCchannel) Line 2 subway, in real-time, from Kennedy Station to Kipling Station.
The TTC's Line 2 subway opened its first segment in 1966 and has been extended twice since, with extensions opening in 1968 and 1980. Line 2, at the time of this video, is just over 26km long and has 31 stations. Construction has recently begun on the third extension of Line 2 from Kennedy Station to the intersection of Sheppard and McCowan which will have three new stations and completely replace the TTC's aging Line 3 rapid transit line. The new extension is expected to begin service sometime around 2029 or 2030.
All footage captured in this video was recorded on July 6, 2022. All filming was completed under authorization from the Toronto Transit Commission. The TTC Subway font/typeface in this video is used under license from Quadrat Communications.

💲 ABOUT AD PLACEMENT 💲
Revenue from Ads, Memberships, and 'Super Thanks' is what enables me to produce these videos and provide them to all the amazing and supportive transportation enthusiasts out there. To produce these videos I need to pay for film permits, location fees, liability insurance, transit staff time for supervision, as well as travel expenses; so, on real-time transportation videos, in addition to ads at the beginning and end of the video, mid-roll ad breaks for potential KZread ads are placed in the video at stations/stops at the point when the vehicle comes to a complete stop and opens the doors. This ad placement is intended to be the least disruptive to viewers, your understanding and support are greatly appreciated.

Broadview to Castle Frank was always my favourite as a kid because you get a nice clear view of the Don Valley
15:07 I can't wait to see how Pape will change when the (future) Line 3 Ontario is built and finished in a few years' time, as well as 33:56 when Dundas West station gets an entrance upgrade as part of the GO Expansion/Bloor station redo.

I’m going up to Toronto this summer from Long Island for some rail, fanning and sightseeing and I definitely want to do a head end ride with my iPhone on the line 2.
I use to watch this as a kid

Nice ride video
I am In Greece and I Missed Toronto and Toronto Subway Joanne Fragos
I been on full journey in 2019 & 2020
Ive always found it weird that line 2 trains go faster than the newer line 1 trains...
Green line 2 is change soon next year... until I change into the London Overground train Green line 2
I really enjoyed watching and listening to this as I rarely get to ride the western section of Line 2! Also, I like the use of the graphics at the bottom of the screen to display additional information. I have a few questions regarding filming, if you don't mind. What video and audio equipment (if applicable) did you use to film this? Did you put the camera up against the window or was it mounted on the front of the train? Is the rattling noise because of the camera tapping the window as the train moved, or was it because of some other issue on the train? How come the sound of the motors didn't get picked up? Did the filming permit require any paperwork or payment? Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed the video!! :) To film I use a suction-mounted NextBase 4K dashcam and an Anker brand battery pack attached to a suction mount to power it. The largest SD cards can hold up to 8 hours of footage, so I don’t need to change the card on even the longest transit lines. The camera is mounted inside the train with a silicone lens hood to block out the light from inside the train. The rattling sound is actually the window pane the operator opens at stations while on guard duty. The components of the Line 2 trains aren’t exactly ‘tight-fitting’ anymore and the window was making that sound and the wind was whistling in the tunnels as well in spots. Not sure why the motor sounds were not picked up. Filming did require a permit from the TTC, that costs $250/day (if I recall correctly), plus the cost of filming liability insurance. I also paid costs for a TTC supervisor to be present liaise with the trains operators and supervise the filming.

Interestingly, I'm the same way with the eastern half of Line 2 (as my commute usually takes me from Kipling to St George to Union), so any time I'm out that far feels like a bonus!
I’m visiting from NY in the fall. Would I be able to shoot a similar video for my YT channel or are you still roping off. I’m fully fully vaccinated

The distancing restrictions have been lifted so the seats at the end of the train are open again. Just keep in mind that I had a TTC film permit while filming this, I was checked by TTC staff more than once to make sure I had the permit while I was filming.

You would probably be okay, but I’m not an authority on TTC policy so don’t quote me on that. I just knew I was going to be making a fairly significant film production on all four TTC lines and also needed to mount my camera on the vehicles so I made sure all my legal and liability obligations were covered. Here’s the TTC’s filming page… www.ttc.ca/doing-business-with-the-ttc/filming-on-ttc-property

@@GrandRiverTravelTransportation Yeah that sounds much more involved. I contacted the TTC anyway just to see what they say. I would love to make a head end ride on Line 2 because I put narration on my videos with a lot of anecdotal stories and humor and being an American and I have a lot of Canadian stories to tell. I’m a very pro-Canada American!!!

@@GrandRiverTravelTransportation I think because of the way you were filming is why you needed a permit. I believe if someone is just using a smart phone to video, there should be no problem.

Is this line the longest line on TTC subway
@GrandRiverTravelTransportation
Жыл бұрын
Line 1 is longer.
Why is taking for ever to reach next station this long. Train is supposed to be 80kms. per hour. The whole distance should take 15 mins to cover that distance. If you factor in stops add another 10 minutes. It should not be more than 25 minutes.
This is either really good animation or really poor videography. Too many signals show switch set while train continued forward. Hmmm.....

As a Torontonian who has ridden the subway hundreds of times, I can assure you everything was proper. Videography was great, and all signals were appropriately set. This was most definitely a live video, no animation whatsoever!!
