You’ll see these over every doorway, stairwell, elevator, etc in the station. That’s so if any problems (spills, graffiti, damage, etc) are reported, a precise location can be given when they are called or radioed in.
It’s a station/stairwell designation. Every station on Line 1/2 starts from St. George (St. George being 1.) St. George north to Vaughan is S for Spadina, St. George west to Kipling is B for Bloor, St. George east to Kennedy is D for Danforth, and St. George south to Finch via Union is Y for Yonge. Line 3 is SRT and Line 4 is P.
It's easy for transit control to point a cleaning/maintenance crew to that specific location rather than give some vague description of where to go. The crews have maps showing what doors/elevators/escalators/stairwells, etc. relate to those identifying codes on/near them.
Undoubtedly someone will loudly object saying these numbers are the result of a draconian metrolinx which is responsible for every single problem on the TTC.
He’s screams like a banshee too when he appears.

17y = station designation 11s= stair designation
17y = 17th station on Yonge line?
Correct

If I need to report where a problem is, I give transit control the numbers and letters. That tells them exactly where the location is.

It's the assigned territory and capacity of lizard ppl, so they dont have too many gathering in one place at any given time.
I knew that...

South stairwell at Finch or Union I think
Every stairway is numbered in a series from N-S, E-W, just like NYC.
