Automatic Train Control
The TTC estimates that automatic train control on the Yonge–University–Spadina line could be installed by 2016. When this system is installed, the TTC will be able to run trains as often as every 105 seconds. The limit of the signal system now is every 150 seconds, the interval at which trains operate at rush hours.

Famous quotes containing the words automatic, train and/or control:
“Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind’s eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)
“Children must eventually train their own children, and any impoverishment of their impulse life, for the sake of avoiding friction, must be considered a possible liability affecting more than one lifetime”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
“The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
