Except it’ll only benefit Ford’s rich donors which are the Wealthy Developers like Cortellucci who will get a large earning on their plate

I’m talking about how the TTC lacks a operating subsidy from the Provincial Government while motorists get the most attention of funding

More truck traffic on that highway. Sadly the Ford government doesn’t want to expand and fund public transport like Rail. Meanwhile Ford and his transport minister turns a blind eye on highway 11/17 up north. Perhaps we wouldn’t have many trucks if CN and CPKC didn’t chase away many customers to...

Soon Lake Simcoe will be contaminated with all of the Road salt from the Bradford bypass. Those people didn’t want to stop voting for the PCs.

And should note that class 1 railroads are in that PSR mess in the 2020s. They want to cut costs and lay off people.

Would’ve been better if most industries went to Rail for their freight transport in Canada especially Ontario. What’s not even known is that the former USSR had higher Rail traffic than in the U.S. or other places, both being Passenger and Freight in the USSR.

Meanwhile the MTA NYCTA who are still using Articulated buses would probably be laughing at the TTC. Imagine if NYC didn’t had Artics for 10 years, although they did buy the NFI D60HFs which did performed better I think for NYC

Another thing is that, you don’t see Fare enforcement officers on Barrie Transit/Simcoe Linx and Oakville Transit. Neither of them don’t offer All Door boarding and lastly TTC doesn’t offer any all door boarding on buses

Gotta love the waste of resources. Last I heard TTC doesn’t allow all door boarding on buses. Meanwhile Ford has gotten his way on banning speed cameras because they gouge motorists of money. But Ford doesn’t want disband fare enforcement and his government doesn’t want to provide funding to the...

I was asking if the Hawkers were capable of getting fitted with ATC/ATO. However subway cars last longer in other cities, one being SEPTA. Problem, is that TTC follows the throwaway culture from the U.S. SEPTA has gotten full economic life out of most of its fleets, which have been...

So recently I heard that CPKC has been scrapping some engines lately at Moose Jaw and Toronto yards. Most of them being GP38-2s and the last GP40s at Toronto yard. I haven’t heard if the stored SD40-2s are to be scrapped next? Ex SOO 6619 and 6621 are to be scrapped I heard while 5945, 5956...

Question, when ATC was planned out for the subway. Wouldn’t it be possible to put ATC equipment on the Hawker Siddeley H4s, H5s and H6 subway cars? It’s like putting PTC or Positive Train Control on a GP38-2 and a SD40-2 and it works.

First time posting here. Recently I heard that Metra has around 11 F59PHIs in storage, those F59PHIs were bought as temporary units until they got permanent power which was the SD70MACHs and have gotten more of them passed the 15 70MACHs as originally ordered few years ago. Perhaps...
