On the 196 York University from Downsview...
Just after pulling out of the station, my bus pulled up beside another bus at Sheppard and Allen. My bus driver opens the front door and starts talking to the bus driver next to us...
"hey man, I almost hit you yesterday, hahaha, around...
You can sing the subways cost money song all you want. It's a number one hit on the political radio these days but the bottom line is that they work. And once you have them, it's a permanent investment. None of this upgrade from bus to LRT, then LRT to double LRT, double LRT to triple LRT...
Pardon me, I don't check the site that often these days so if I don't respond to someone "?????ing" me and assuming I don't know anything please forgive me.
The RT comment was just a thought I had that I wanted to share. Maybe I should have posted it in a "things that will never happen, but...
instead of a subway, why not build an RT from Cooksville GO to Square One and Eglinton BRT... the rest of Hurontario can be served by expanded bus service.
In some cities, subway lines split in half and serve two communities instead of one. What if we did that with the Bloor line?
Bloor-A (Bloor-Danforth-DUNDAS) could be routed along Dundas to Hurontario and eventually to UTM and the Dundas west retail strip (which has huge redevelopment...
This whole project is a waste of money. I don't care what anyone says. The only time my trip to York (the bus portion) has been longer than 15 minutes was in the fall when somebody pushed someone out of a car on the 401 and all the traffic was diverted to Sheppard. Once the Toronto-Spadina-York...
In due time, the TTC is going to have to face the facts that building a network of ROW Streetcar lines is not going to solve Toronto's problems. Nor will Subway's, but they will sure help.
By building these streetcar LRT lines, they are going to ensure that subway's are forever dead in...
No point in being critical - they obviously have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to the big picture in transportation issues. And you can't hold anything against this person - whoever wrote that is one of many people who are lost at sea when it comes to this type of thing.
I'd...
Caplansky's has good Deli - College and Clinton area,
New Generation Sushi - Bloor street west of Spadina
Ghazelle - Bloor/Bathurst
Victory Cafe - mirvish village - bloor/bathurst
I'm confused. Were they considering the 800m stops only if bus service was in place to pick up people who can't be bothered to walk a maximum of 400m to their LRT stop?
400m is too close. should by between 600-800m
while I'm on the topic of close stops...
I rode the St Clair ROW...
