Flythrough of Fairbank station on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT

[@raex_rz2100]

Opening 3024

[@BakariTheBat]

Nah I don’t think it will open 3024 that a long time from now

[@Ikindalikeroblox]

It’d gonna open in this September

[@hermanyu9451]

Can't wait...no seriously we really cant wait another 10 years...

[@JayFow]

I bet you til this line opens, people are gonna be making jokes about how the line opened very early "as planned"

[@tjftor]

Doctors say a child born today just might live long enough to see the Eglinton Crosstown open.....

[@MrBigjonneh]

That wayfinding 👌

[@jacktattersall9457]

I agree. TTC should adopt Metrolinx' standard across its system. Just the right amount of information at the right time. 5 Eglinton Line, where the elevators are, and then the direction visible as you go down to the platform.

[@iamzuckerburger]

Way to go!

[@StressingBabies]

So many opportunities for accessible tactile guide paths upstairs and nothing.

[@jacktattersall9457]

Yes, there is an guided path to elevator.

[@Skyfoogle]

there's clearly a tactile path to the elevator. i don't think visually impaired people should be directed to the stairs or escalator.

[@Transit1playz]

Wow a video but no LINE C'MON WE'VE WAUTED LONG ENOUGH 😭😭😭

The world is laughing at the Eglinton Crosstown , what a joke...

[@dixonpinfold2582]

Aesthetically, both the exterior and interior are profoundly deficient. Was this station designed by someone who's never had eyesight? Or just never had a soul? Unbelievable.

[@Daniel-jv1ku]

What would you want it to look like?

[@dixonpinfold2582]

@@Daniel-jv1ku Is this an RFP (Request For Proposals)?😄 What is the submission fee? But seriously, I would want to see some imaginative use of colour and some curves. All white, all straight lines, and all right angles is not felt by many to represent ideals of beauty or visual interest. When I look at the box my Dove soap comes in (it answers to that description) I feel emptier than when I look at the bar of soap itself. I just want to scrunch it up and wing it into the recycling bin. (Btw, the meagre use of black stone or tile on the Fairbank Station's floor adds minuscule visual interest.) In 2023 current materials, the latest design software and the latest construction techniques offer a world of beautiful possibilities at a reasonable cost. Thanks for asking.

Looks to me like it was just slapped together to be as cheap as possible.

[@东方不败-o3i]

Currently one of the major issues is software defects in the signalling and train control system and the rectification of those defects by the consortium building the project, reported Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster recently.

[@riseofazrael]

Rather they get it done right the first time instead of rushing everything and having a billion problems.

[@jpgm2015]

Space could’ve been used much more efficiently

[@BBOShane-zv3jr]

13 billion dollars later and they can't even cover those hideous concrete walls with some nice shiny white tiles, pathetic!

Can you do Leaside & Science Centre Stations soon

[@iamzuckerburger]

Putting Tokyo and New York to shame!

[@congratsyourearestaurant]

Of course there are cars parked in the bike lanes.

[@DokisKalin1]

Thanks I hate it. Looks cheap and I can't believe something so unimpressive would take so many years to build.

[@wolfyspl]

Yeah. I feel like some more architectural modern materials could be used, such as wooden slabs and some colour to it, because the walls and basically the whole station design is pure white, but nope 👎

[@DokisKalin1]

@@wolfyspl And tons of glass to make it cheap. where did all the money go? lol

[@Daniel-jv1ku]

Everything looks nice except for the platform level, because the gray concrete is jarring compared to the white mezzanine floating above. Could you paint it white? It have a feeling it wouldn't cost too much money and wouldn't take a lot of time either.

[@blastbottles]

I'm guessing the dust from the tunnels would turn that paint job a gray color really fast. Tiles would be a better idea

@@thefellows8484 it's a flaw with the island train design, although it's less expensive to build, it means that brake dust is hitting those fancy signs at all times

[@Skyfoogle]

believe me bare concrete ages a lot better than paint
