Same could be done with subways. IIRC, the Yonge line used to run 4/6/8 (G1s were 57'/car compared to the now standard 75' cars) car trains depending on the demand and time of day.

You could thank the premier at the time that bribed the TTC funding if they converted the SLRT to ICTS right when they started construction. :D

And where will you find the money to pull off such a scale of a conversion requiring all buses, streetcars, and subways stations to get such? Maybe you can share the money with the TTC since you got an oil well in your back yard

All I can say seeing the portion of the video where they restrict Eglinton and Trethewey/Keele to 1 lane in each direction during the station box portion of the construction, and seeing Keele and Finch many times during its phases of construction with the station box is that its going to be...

You would imagine how Rob Ford would be seeing modified TRs or even modified T1s on the 501

I know this is quite early to talk about, but If the Etobicoke and Scarborough express rail lines see the light of day and is operated by the TTC, chances are, they might probably follow the same fare standards as the downtown express routes and the routes leaving Toronto (extra fare).

It would make no sense for the 35, 35E, and 19 to not divert, since they might as well both terminate at Black Creek station, as if your plan was to be like such, where would the 35 terminate, and it would just cause more transfers for those heading north of Eglinton.

Well, the referendum fell through between the feds and the province, but Toronto did help fund the Yonge subway at the cost of not being able to build the Queen subway according to this article from Transit Toronto: http://transit.toronto.on.ca/subway/5102.shtml

The TTC was profitable enough to expand streetcar lines and even build the Yonge line (Union-Eglinton) without any government help that I know of, and its last recorded profit was around 1970 before the TTC had to remove zone fares

pfft, as if capacity reduced west of Don Mills will ever make a difference on the Sheppard stubway.

Replace Jane with Sheppard on forced transfers and lets see what happens

Toronto never said they wanted subways, Scarborough did according to Ford's mandates

the drivers can time it so that they can get their LRVs through greens

Lets see what the pro-subway people will say once they actually visit the Keele and Finch intersection during rush hour

Then Marlee gets clogged with traffic...
