I wanted to get a video like this before the line closed. I never got the chance. So thank you so much for this video!

This line is survived by its fellow Canadian sister the SkyTrain in Vancouver

Vancouver is the Perfect example of what this system was meant to do and they have used it and maintained it well and greatly expanded it.They could have done this in Scarborough , but some are fixated on the Subway and never quite wanted this and it shows. Never understood why they have drivers on this system. It was never intended to need them and so they crammed the conductor/driver into the narrow rack cabinet in the corner. Vancouver could have even send used and likely better maintained trains to them when replacing the Mark 1s with Mark 5s

There is also the stateside sibling, the Detroit People Mover. Plans for it were ambitious, but after Reagan cut federal funding, the final plan was relegated to a tiny 3 mile circuit around downtown.

Great subway ride Johnny! I’m gonna miss the line 3 Scarborough RT once it shuts down by the fall of this year, but I’m still trying my best to make more videos of line 3 for my KZread channel. Hopefully one day we can do a collaboration of line 3 for our channels soon if possible. Hope you have a great Tuesday!

I rode line 3 once, and yeah it was pretty damn loud :D

I learned something new today. Didn't know you could get a view like that from the first car (Line 2 Subway).

Awesome, awesome stream Johnny. Thx a lot and do stay safe.

Thanks for the subway ride Johnny

I remembered riding the LRT a lot back in my high school years (when my old HS was still standing nearby). Loved getting to see the city above ground compared to the under ground subway.

Opening of the video: thumbs up!

I love your public transit videos!

Thanks! More to come I hope.

I go through Kennedy everyday to work. It’s a really beautiful and unique station. On the middle level there are pictures from 1985. A lot of history associated with this station.

How are you great job today I hope today is not stressful is long journey nice job👍👏👏👏👏👏✍️✍️🤝🤝✊️✊️

Finally a view from front ty johnny 😌❤

Looking forward to this. 😊

Amazing video Johnny

I love the operator making the stop announcements

1:44 love how there's a pigeon chillin on the concourse

Awesome video. What a tragedy that if they had used streetcars as originally proposed, it could have been easily maintained and modernized.

@Gar Saxon, those were just my thoughts that I expressed today (1/28/2023); I guess that great minds think alike, as the old saying goes.

If they maintained the current system and got new trains or even just refurbished them they could still use it. I scratch my head why they could make it work until 2030 at least. The trackage and the cars are clearly neglected. These make way more noise than most of the Skytrain network. Boggie rattle on start? Kinda rare noise on Skytrain. Surprising amount of track joint noise. Hard to get rid of the squeel at Kennedy tho. That’s a very tight turn even with the steerable boggie these train normally have. That being said Skytrain can handle leaving Burrard to waterfront on a curve at surprising speed with minimal squeal.

Going through your videos...gonna try to hit a few

Hi, how will people be able to get from Kennedy to Scarborough Centre once the Scarborough LRT retires from regular service later in 2023? But the new underground replacement subway to Scarborough Centre an extension of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth subway is not expected to open until 2030/2031.

@@JohnnyStrides But still a bus is not going to be able to replace a subway adequately. Why is the SRT closing in 2023?

@Neville60001

@AlexR, it's closing because it doesn't have any more replacement parts for it (it was intended as a demonstration system by UTDC, the company that built it, and as a result, after UTDC folded, there were no replacement parts for it, at all [Bombardier, the successor-in-interest to UDTC, didn't bother to keep the tooling, so the RT wasn't upgraded like its brother system in Vancouver.])

If ever you take the same Mk1s on the Expo Line Skytain in Vancouver, I guarantee you will travel faster than how you travelled on Line 3. I don't know about you but I notice that the Line 3 train travels the fastest when it goes from Midland Station to Scarborough Ctr Station but practically slower throughout the majority of Line 3. Similar speed as Line 1 & Line 2. If you take the same Mk1s in Vancouver, you'll travel 80 km/h between each station throughout the entire line. Better yet, when the Skytrains reach the terminus station such as Waterfront, King George & Production Way-University, the waiting time is exactly the same as every other station in between because the Skytrains are driverless as opposed to Line 3's Kennedy & McCowan stations where you wait at the terminus station until the operator goes into the other end of train & if you love the whining sound it makes especially when it departs the station, you will hear it more clearly & better than TTC's Line 3 Mk1s. I do recommend you take the Skytrains in Vancouver, I promise that you'll love it. However, due to their age, the Mk1s in Vancouver will begin to retire starting in 2024 as 2024 will mark the 40th anniversary of the Mk1 & if I'm not mistaken the Mk1 Skytrains will retire between 2024-2027. So I do encourage you to try the Mk1 Skytrains in Vancouver while you still can.

I miss line 3 bc it shut down and is now the down town train

I wish I see lot of r treain

If someone said "srt line 3 becoming buses" well only until 2028 in 2028 you can say "srt line 3 is becoming line 2"

Why can't the city just put streetcars on it like it was supposed to be back in the 1970's?

Wrong gauge.The original plan from about 20 years ago was to put LRT trains on it because they’d “only” need to rip out the third rail and put in overhead wires (i.e., they wouldn’t have to rip out tracks, bridges etc.). If Rob Ford hadn’t cancelled that plan the SRT would be running today with trains simiar to what we will have for Line 5 or 6
