Listening to the City Hall session - someone made a great point. That when the LRT was pitched it was supposed to be 33-34 minutes and their decision was based on that estimation. In retrospect, would the city have bought into the Finch LRT at current speed? Not sure... I got to say that it's...

Better speed, unimpeded by traffic lights on an artery such as Eglinton knowing TTC MO with operating rail vehicles at grade - yeah, the nutjobs had no clue in retrospect

Did such issue happen at the opening of a brand new line? I don't recall Sheppard having those issues on day 1.

It's crazy how demonized some of us were for having the audacity to say that Eglinton (and Sheppard East) should have been a subway and that they cooked the numbers (Neptis) to make sure LRT won over subway while excluding Skytrain/OL technology from the studies. How the table have turned...

This is hopeful like I wrote in the streetcar thread. Part of the motion is to have vehicles go faster than the road speed limit - which is a no brainer

I'm encouraged by the political will to make this happen, I think this time - we might have some real results. Politically, Chow chose her moment correctly. Line 6 was the bottom and she took the situation to push reforms across the board. Should she succeed in turning this around and people...

well, it will be an election year. Great timing and it will be hilarious watching her opponents advocating to kill signal priorities and keep transit slow to protect drivers

I mean isn't it obvious? Eglinton will be a 2-tier system based on what we're seeing on Finch. Trains are going to get short-turned at Don Valley due to the disparity in speed and service between the the Scarborough section and the tunnel section.

Cringe... Line 6 from Finch West to Humber College beats 2 buses including transfer by only 7 minutes.

What do you guys think?

I feel less OCD with Finch, Sheppard and Lawrence being correctly aligned

For the life of me...why is the TTC afraid of speed???

I have to agree that this would make more sense and a more truthful representation of reality

Thoughts and prayers for all the OCD people in the city who can't get over Finch and Finch West not being aligned correctly 🫣
