I would rather see Jane be it's own line. It could use the same tech as the OL, with connections to the OL.

Considering how awful the Alstom Citadis Spirits have been, and they're manufactured in Brampton, I'm not entirley against this. I want to support Canadian made trains, but not if they're of poor quality. Hopefully the Mark V SkyTrains in Vancouver hold up well. I believe those were...

Well obviously. My point is, a large amount of people do, and for those people the idea of taking transit to the airport will never cross their minds. A 40-45 minute runtime from Line 1 to the Airport is woefully slow and is in no way competitive with driving to the airport. This is why I'm...

Why would driving to Pearson cost $40? A lot of people circumvent Uber/ Taxi charges by having a family or friend drop them off at the airport. This is what transit has to compete with.

Well, the situation with the Alstom Citadis's in Ottawa is getting out of hand. 70% of the fleet being pulled out of service to fix the axel issues, which could take over a year to complete.

Can you post any links that suggests this has been discussed, or is this just an assumption? Judging by the work the city recently completed at WIlkit Creek Park, just north of Eglinton, I doubt there is any appetite to rip all this up and add another span to the bridge so to shift Eglinton...

Shot this today while riding the Barrie train up to Downsview. Is this the double tracking for the Barrie Line, or the fourth track for the Kitchener line? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EWrHszQkky4-8ZkN-BsRQ68RjEGFXidh/view?usp=sharing

Side by side comparison of my two westbound trips on the surface portion of Line 5. Feb. 9th & Feb. 24th. My second trip was during afternoon rush hour. It seems the surface portion of the Line travels slower during rush hours because the city is probably less forgiving with the lights...

I reckon only with the downtown streetcars that have their own ROW. I feel the city will maintain the status quo for streetcars in mixed traffic.

Red lights killed me on Line 5 today. Unfortunately one of the worst offenders was the lights by Sunnybrook station. With future plans to have the Ontario line connect with the Don Valley station, it's odd they chose to make the line between Laird and Sunnybrook at grade only to go underground...

Where did I say make Union station the only transfer point? Bloor GO can become a transit hub for the westend, Kennedy for the east. Ontario line will turn Exhibition into a transit hub. I'm proposing we turn existing GO stations into transit hubs where multiple lines converge instead of just...

I did the entire line. When I approached Humber College, the curve dropped my avg. speed from 16km/h to 14km/h.

I could be mistaken regarding calling out stations. But they've definitely reduced the warnings while riding the train. Edit: My mistake, riding the line back westward and it's calling out all the stations. Just no sit down warnings. Edit2: I take it all back! My eastbound train must have been...

Currently on Line 5. The audio has been reduced. Not calling every stop and fewer warnings to sit down and hold onto the hand rails. Making for a much quieter and relaxing ride. EDIT: Seems they may have also deactivated the platform warnings at the stations. EDIT2: It's infact calling all...

I don't believe them. They may have thought they were going that fast, but in actuality they weren't. I would kindly ask those people to prove it.
