The TTC York% speedrun is a category of TTC speedrun that requires the runner to visit all subway stations run by the Toronto Transit Commission which contain "York" in their name. Currently, this includes York Mills, York University, Yorkdale, North York Centre, and Royal York
Rules
The run begins upon setting foot on a vehicle while within one of the stations.
The run ends upon setting foot in the last station after having set foot in all of the other stations at least once.
The only methods of transportation permissible are by foot, and services provided by the TTC.
History
2023-04-12: User:Hanss314 sets a world record time of 1h26m.[1]
Routing
The hypothesized fastest route is to begin at York Mills, and make the following trips.
Line 1 to Finch, hitting North York Centre en route
Bus 939A to Finch West
Line 1 to York University
Reversing directions, Line 1 to Spadina, hitting Yorkdale en route.
Line 2 to York Mills, end.
Note that the exchange at Spadina requires a 150m sprint, that potentially loses time over an exchange at St. George if made too slow. Depending on the timing of the trains it might also not save time at all. However, an optimal Spadina exchange is faster than an optimal St. George exchange as the added track time is longer than a reasonable human sprint across Spadina.
The reverse of this route, taking Bus 939B is roughly equivalent. However, in a purely optimal case, this results in a slightly longer Spadina run by about 10m.
