TOareaFan, you are starting to get annoying. I want all-day service on the Milton Line as well, but I am smart enough to realize that shit has nothing to do with the Hurontario-Main LRT. Metrolinx...

Yes, only the LRT would funded by Brampton, because it is a Mississauga-Brampton thing, while the Kitchener GO Train service is a provincial thing. So please explain to all of us how cancelling this...
Probably nothing. Which is why I am baffled at your opposition to the LRT (a local service) in favour of GO Train upgrades (a regional service).
There aren't actually many opportunities for combining MT and BT bus routes. 5 Dixie for example already has a 55-60 minutes running time. Combining it with 18 Dixie would be a terrible idea. So I...
I think the LRT should terminate at the 407. That way the City of Brampton will have more money to spend on upgrading the Kitchener GO corridor for all-day train service.
LRTs aren't rapid transit.
The Street Smart is not very meaningful since it doesn't take into account pedestrian-only routes. Like the sidewalk in front of my house connects directly to Britannia, but my street doesn't connect...
Okay, so I have a transit score of 0.
Still don't see bike score anywhere. Maybe there is not enough info or soemthing.
Where do you get transit score or bike score? I don't see it anywhere.
My home near Britannia/Creditview and Britannia/Mavis now scores 72. With all shops and services in walking distance I guess it isn't surprising. I basically live beside Britannia Rd, and they...
MiWay gets over 170,000 boardings per weekday.
Wow, such arrogance. First of all, only around 20% of MiWay riders actually use the TTC. After all, the busiest bus route in Mississauga has no...
Mississauga says ‘yes’ to most transit tax options, and fie on Ford

What puts more strain on the capacity and maintenance of a road: a bus with 40 people in it, or 40 cars?
The legacy of Jane Jacobs lives on.
Dude, seriously, the average number of cars per household in the GTA is only 1.39. Even Caledon of all places averages less than 2 cars per household. Only 8.5% of households in the Greater Toronto...
How many urban freeways does London, UK have? Just wondering.
I think there also needs to be funding for transit operations as well. After all, there's no point in building new transit infrastructure if the transit agencies don't have money to use them. All...
Tim Hudak prefers building highways over LRT? This is shocking news.
The escarpment is a major physical barrier, for both cars, transit, cycling, etc. This might sound crazy but maybe a subway...
Hourly service is basically is non-existent service, especially for local transit riders. This will make a huge difference for off-peak.
I think it will have huge effect on reverse commuting as...
Has anyone seen the latest ridership figures on Brampton's Transit website? They are disconcerting. It looks like there will be another recession, or maybe it is happening already...

What exactly is suburban about North York Centre?
Scarborough does't have anything resembling a downtown.
Plus, Yonge Street doesn't go through former Scarborough as far as I know, so any...
I think that the best way for Toronto improve its transit is increase the fees for non-Torontians, not just using road tolls, but through the TTC as well, which can be easily done once Presto is...
Rush Hour Frequencies (minutes)
1. Steeles East: 4.2
2. Queen: 4.3
3. Main: 6.2
4. Dixie: 7.5
5. Kennedy: 7.5
6. Airport: 10.0
6. Bovaird: 10.0
Why is the Bloor-Danforth line shown is having a perfect east-west alignment and a connection to the Montreal Metro? That's not accurate at all.
BRT for Bovaird seems excessive. What are the busiest corridors right now? Queen, Steeles, Main, Kennedy, Dixie, McMurchy... Bovaird isn't even top 5. You don't need BRT or LRT everywhere. That was...
