Subways: numbers or names?

Seems like the subway line names are more memorable and easier for the traveler than using line numbers. Is there a reason to change from names to numbers in this article? Powers ^(talk) 21:43, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

In recent years, the TTC has made line numbers very prominent in signage. Names such as Yonge subway, Yonge-University subway, University subway, Yonge-University-Spadina subway, etc. are more confusing, and I had seen such variations. I personally find numbers to be more consistent and convenient.TheTrolleyPole (talk) 23:20, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Further, if you go to Bloor-Yonge station, the wayfaring signs show line number rather than line name. Thus, not knowing the line number would be a problem for visitors. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 00:43, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Swiss Chalet

This discussion was copied from another talk page in order to retain background info about restaurant chains.TheTrolleyPole (talk) 23:11, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that you deleted a Swiss Chalet outlet because: As a rule, we don't list national chain restaurants in "Eat", especially if they're already described in an article like Fast food in North America.

However, Swiss Chalet is not mentioned in the Fast food in the United States and Canada (Fast food in North America) article, nor in North America, although it has a brief mention in the Canada article. The Yonge-Dundas establishment is not a fast-food outlet, but a restaurant with full table service and waiting staff. I think it is useful to point out where such moderately priced restaurants can be found as the chain isn't that large, with some districts having only one or no Swiss Chalet restaurant.

Would you object if I reinstate the listing? TheTrolleyPole (talk) 20:45, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

@TheTrolleyPole: The listing for Swiss Chalet has since been moved from Fast food in the United States and Canada to Restaurant chains in North America. The latter article is in sorry shape indeed, though, so I'd be more inclined to say the listing could be reinstated - especially because, you're right, there is a distinct lack of moderately-priced non-chain restaurants in Yonge-Dundas (Fran's on College Street is the only one I can think of off the top of my head). -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 22:46, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
