If it has all day service it would certainly be faster than transfering to line 1 and again to the barrie line

Isn't line 6 shorter than the 36 in 2019? A sizeable portion of the riders would be east of keele

I heard a talk he was giving a few years ago to promote a new book on the climate crisis, but he didn't talk about the book. He just went on and on about Transit city and how it was visionary and so much better than the current provincial projects.

yea I have a bunch of family in Muskoka that have issues with long drives and will not visit in the winter at all. Unfortunately, many refuse to take a bus but are very excited for the train

Its also 4h 25 from langstaff to Northbay and i imagine a lot of people connecting from GO busses will shift their trips there. Most connecting from the subway at 407 or yorkdale will have longer trips since they need to head to union or hop on a bus. Thankfully the yonge north subway will...

The bridge over King was built as part of ION project and only has room for 2 tracks. Though im really not sure why we'd ever need more than 2 here. Even if London gets great GO service one day I dont see how 2 tracks wouldn't be enough. If high speed rail makes its way to kitchener one day then...

Im not talking about anything in existing plans. A single barrie line platform at spadina and east harbour won't free track capacity at union. Im talking about large shoulder stations with most GO lines stopping on either side of union, spadina and sherbourne maybe

YES i was so scared they'd build the first phase and then money would dry up

You don't have to add stations, but I find it very doubtful it'd get built without it. Shutting down the UP for a while and replacing it with a different technology without expanding transit access doesn't sound very popular. You could already achieve far higher frequencies than today and...

Your map still has 4 more stations along that stretch from exhibition to pearson than are planned for the up. Along you're routing they'd stop at 15 stations along the way to pearson instead of 10 with the UP stopping at Woodbine and St clair. I also dont think the UP should only be a local...

The extra time all these extra stations add makes the service less and less competetive as an alternative to driving. Especially for those coming from the east. My parents in scarborough usually take LE and the UP to the airport, because even though its 20-30 mins slower than driving in most...

UP not going to Union is arguably worse than HSR not going IMO.

Pretty sure only one tower currently proposed in Scarborough centre is actually taller, only by a meter or so, the rest are still just a future vision i dont get why they always split up the park space into little areas like that instead of one larger space. A big station plaza would be great...

You can use the historic imagery on google earth to see some imagery from earlier this year. Gives you a good timelapse as well

I dont have any alignment or anything in mind, again i think the Ontario line plus GO plus new streetcars will be enough to serve the area for a long time. but if we ever ended up building another subway like the ontario line, maybe along King street, i could see it turning south to serve the...
