I'm sorry, but it appears we have a misunderstanding? I was commenting on whether or not higher frequencies were possible without building a new station, i do not know what that had to do with everything you wrote. I am supportive of the new station, I was stating that higher frequencies is...

the video by city of toronot shows it will be cut and cover and done in several stages, rather than a cover and cut I do not know for sure if the teamways will be temporarily put out of service.

One billion for the loop is already excessive to me, but even ignoring that... Assuming the 20% increase in cost was uniform, the on-street segment excluding the underground segment and union would be 3.2km for 1560 mil, or 500 mil/km. This on street section alone is slightly less expensive than...

respectfully disagree, i don't see how the current terminal cannot handle even 30 minute service Is there some problem with the current terminal I don't see, other than it's kinda old and kinda a walk from the ion?

i dont want to be some joykill as I want this project to succeed but I really am concerned about this. The Star reports that the cost estimates for the line are now 3 billion dollars, or 789mn/km. Given this is supposed to be a city project, not MX- this does not even include O&M or probably...

Yeah lol Never hit 41+ but definitely with 36+. Dont think itd change Taking TTC+GO would become cheaper than taking TTC

Couldnt get a better shot due to the via concourse entrances.

Caught it, LSW 7:17 Union EB. 2734

They do have larger stop spacing but I would have to disagree on "less intersections". I dont have any hard numbers but just looking at it aerially i find that those trams handle a lot of intersections. Just some samples. At no point would I describe any section of the Munich tram system as...

I am aware who Reece is, and I don't really see how this matters, unless the argument is, well he thought Eglinton was going to be overcapacity so his opinion is actually less than meaningless. Please refer to my previous post. I am not rewriting that I am unsure where you got this assumption...

With all due respect, I do disagree with your interpretation of this passage. I interpreted this passage to say, "Supposing we ran the TTC Streetcars as fast as Munich does," not "This plan would make streetcars as fast as Munich." This is why they end with "We may not reach those levels...

Perhaps one of the benefits of the "auto lobby" is that they have kind of shown us how you can just like, not be insane about safety by just going "Well you actually can drive on the curbside lane without going 25kmh, 'cause like we already do it?" To add onto this discussion, as far as I know...

Even crazier is how if you mix up Eglinton / Eg. West, you simply take a short subway ride, but a E/W harbour mix up can put you back like 2 hours if done incorrectly That being said, it is a step in the right direction-- i just wish they committed to the bit.

I think quite reasonably you'd have a streetcar replacing the downtown segment to WH and a bus for the upwards segment- if a downtown OL substitution is required at all as opposed to just running more streetcars on existing routes and on 2+1. The biggest users of a bustitution would be local...

As far as I am aware it does not have a crossover. The crossover was specifically built at Laird because it was the end of the underground segment. The Ontario line was not in the picture when they thought of this.
