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.
