The enhanced system, expected to be operational by July of this year, will allow customers to receive general schedule information on all 150 of the TTC's route's by simply keying in a route number. The Faxback service, which currently provides only non-schedule information, will also be expanded dramatically. Customers will be able to obtain a hard-copy route map and schedule information for any of the TTC's 150 routes. InfoPost schedules are posted at approximately 3,600 bus stops throughout the city. We have received feedback that the traditional version of InfoPost can be somewhat difficult to read.
Work is presently underway to simplify the format to make it more user-friendly for customers.
This includes maps and references to the TTC's 24-hour automated information service and TTC website. Since the Yellow Pages Directories are in every Toronto household, they are viewed as an important tool for trip-planning purposes and customer referral to our automated services. Summary The existing TimeLine System will not be available as of January 1, 2000. The Marketing Department will conduct a campaign in the fall to notify customers accordingly. For example, customers calling their TimeLine number will be apprised of the system's status and advised of the other information sources that will be available to them.
