The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has decided to delay the introduction of platform edge doors at Dundas station until it can be included in the 2026 budget discussions. This decision follows years of study on the doors, which aim to enhance subway safety by preventing falls and track access. The estimated cost for implementing this system across key subway lines is $4.1 billion. Discussions are now pivoting toward examining alternatives for mitigating 'track-level intrusions' to ensure service continuity and safety for all riders.
"Platform Edge Doors (PEDs) improve subway safety and service by preventing track access, thus reducing injuries, fatalities, staff trauma, and service disruptions."
"We need to evaluate the potential cost benefits of technically feasible options to address track-level intrusions, considering the impact on both service and individual safety."
