    Ontario Line Extension West of Ontario Place (Speculation)

    I don't know why you'd duplicate the 407 Transitway, when you are already getting quite close to it.

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Service currently starts a couple of hours earlier on Saturday mornings. It starts at 20-minute service, but goes to 14 minutes (departing Kennedy) at about 6:30 AM and about 7.5 minutes by 7 AM.

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Not for the first hour or so of service in a day. I'd guess that this will change when the line fully opens.

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    The arrival time accuracy has certainly been noted by many. What time was it? There's some pretty scheduled long gaps first thing on the late-start Sunday mornings before 9:30 AM. Looking at westbound departure times from Cedarvale, the first train is at 8:13 AM. Then 21 minutes later at 8:54...

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    A wise policy. For decades I never thought I'd be here again. Though the reason we started this discussion was your prediction that "the drop in the US travel is temporary".

    Homelessness on the TTC (catch all)

    And yet you don't have even a single example. Especially of those first on the scene carrying long guns.

    Homelessness on the TTC (catch all)

    How did it come about that they were at the scene with long guns when the incident happened? Which incident was. That was kind of my point. I can identify one in London in 2007. I'm struggling for ANY here, let alone one.

    Homelessness on the TTC (catch all)

    They couldn't have brought in the long guns later? Still, no one has answered the question. When was the last time?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I'd think there was some right-hand and left-hand. Operations weren't in the know clearly. But the department that deals with the overhead, I'd guess, that someone was aware of generally what the limits were. If it was me I'd have made a single low-key vague warning, and then sat back and...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    There's more capacity for streetcars at Dufferin Gate loop than they usually use, even after matches. And generally they go as fast as they overload them at Exhibition loop after a match; with only half going up Bathurst there's a limit on how many they can run. I'm not sure which section of...

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Not surprising given that maps is years old, before Ontario Line was finalized. Still, Eglinton East, east of the Brentcliffe portal was all but finished back then.

    Homelessness on the TTC (catch all)

    No one was cornered on the streetcar. It was completely empty otherwise. Had there been police on the streetcar at the time, they'd have plenty have time to call in one of their friends to do the execution. Once again I ask. When was the last time the police needed to use a gun on the TTC...

    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    I think they, used to ship to that lumber supplier in St. Jacobs. Home Hardware too ... but is that still done? Unless something is changed, there's no way there's be enough traffic to justify the other two - and it's not like there'd be the challenge of moving the toxic chemicals to and from...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Fair enough - though no teams will have multiple games in Toronto, so lots will be transient. Still I don't think there'll be many issues, especially with the (over!) preparedness. Even for a regular TFC match today at BMO Field, there I counted 7 GO staff, 2 police, and 3 hired security -...

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I didn't think it did either. But I did notice one in the tunnel west of the Don Valley platform on the map at https://cartometro.com/metro-tram-toronto/?r=cmf - dated 2021. I'm not aware of another map. On the other hand, Google Maps does show a cross-over between Don Valley and Agha Khan...
