In light of all the recent issues with the Citadis Spirits, I'm really beginning to question whether it's a good idea to construct the downtown loop. The tight turns will most likely mean the trains will travel very slow. Most likely slower than a comparative bus. Or a bus just heading in a...

CPKC is purchasing 135 new locomotives. https://www.trains.com/pro/mechanical/locomotives/cpkc-orders-65-new-emd-sd70ace-t4-locomotives-from-progress-rail/

These stupid f**king Alstom Sh*tadis Spirits are going to be the downfall of transit across Ontario. These dumb trains are popping up everywhere. Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga, potentially Hamilton. EDIT: Not just in Ontario, but Quebec as well. Quebec City placed an order for these trams.

Came back from London a couple days ago, and it really hammered home to me how we're just doing everything wrong not just in Toronto, but within Ontario in regards to transit (Ottawa, Hurontario LRT, etc.). The Jubilee line was probably the fastest subway I ever rode! It absolutely takes off...

For folks who continue to make the argument that low floor LRT's are more accessible than high floor LRTs, tell me, does this ramp at a Manchester Tram station look unmanageable for wheel chair users? How about the fact that high floor LRTs offer more interior space for wheel chair users?

More social media gas lighting from Metrolinx. "Get ready Toronto for your brand new RAPID transit line!" Oh shut up!

I was going to say, that information is useless! They should update the average speed of each line at a set time every 24 hours.

Love this map! Can we do something similar for every other line and colour code the width of the line? Some stations along the Barrie line will be triple tracked, correct? I think I remember someone saying Rathburn station is triple tracked? This will allow for some level of express service up...

Have you guys learnt nothing about Metrolinx? A LinkedIn post is not a sure thing.

Have the folks at Metrolinx actually gone to Europe to see how trams work? I've already made multiple posts about how the LRT lines in Toronto lack two phase pedestrian crossings. Something that is common with a lot of tram lines across Europe. I'm back in London, England and I'm planning to...

The whole motivation behind constructing Transit City was to bring "European" style transit to Toronto. Yet lines 5 & 6 weren't even constructed to European standards. So the city can't even operate them in a European manner. Which in some ways defeats the very purpose of having constructed...

Okay, now you've lost me on your proposal. I would never support sacrificing GO tracks for a subway, and I'm a very pro-subway guy. You're basically hedging all your bets on GO adopting ETCS. I wouldn't count on this. I like you're idea of extending the Ontario Line parallel with the Kitchener...

You could split off the Ontario line in two directions west of Exhibition. One branch to the airport as @reaperexpress posted & another branch to Mimico. Build a station at Roncesvalles & Park lawn on the Mimico branch. Kind of what I suggested in my earlier posting. Except I prefer Reaper's...

My only concern with this proposal is it can hinder any future widening of the GO corridor. One of the biggest complaints with the Ontario Line setup at East Harbour. This GO corridor could see Kitchener & Milton line (depending on negotiations with CPKC) service increases, along with a future...

Hey man! I'm all for your suggestion! I was merely showing how one could possibly extend the Ontario line from Exhibition to Pearson airport. I'm definitely onboard with what you suggested in the ALTO thread. Build it! Does this mean we can scrap the GO "Smart Track" stations proposed along the...
