The TTC has express bus routes, but no express streetcar routes. The TTC's streetcars are notorious for being slow for several reasons, one of which is that there are too many streetcar stops too close together. So what if half the streetcars served all stops, while the other half were turned into express streetcars that only stopped at major intersections?

EDIT: Thank you to the comments for making me realize how dumb this idea is because express streetcars would get stuck behind local streetcars and can't pass them because they travel on tracks.

The recent track replacement work at Bay and College forced the 506 to divert onto Dundas between McCaul and Parliament, which is a massive detour. Meanwhile the 501 also had a massive diversion onto Dundas and Gerrard between Parliament and Coxwell. The TTC should build lots more north-south tracks on downtown roads such as University, Bay, Yonge, Church, Jarvis, Sherbourne, Carlaw, Jones, Greenwood, etc., so that the east-west streetcar routes can have much shorter diversions during road construction.
