It was known for a long time that the lines would not have TSP and advocates have been complaining and campaigning to have TSP for as long as soon as it was know that the lines wouldn't have them. So City officials were well aware of the issue before the lines opened.

The population of the cities most times votes for everyone who promises no tax increases to me that means they don't really care about improving transit. since we refuse to spend the money when it's time to pay up. An expanded light rail network maynot be what most people want but they won't...

The Quebec government is currently spending over 950 Million for a new roof and other infrastructure for the big O. the project will be completed in 2028. This is more than double all the investment in BMO field over the years.

Connect6ix (a consortium including Transdev Canada and Hitachi) will operate and maintain the 15.6-kilometre Ontario Line for 30 years under a contract awarded by Metrolinx. The contract for the Rolling Stock, Systems, Operations and Maintenance (RSSOM) package—which includes the operations...

The Ontario Line will not be operated by the TTC and i hope one day Line 5 and 6 which are owned by metrolink will also find a different operator for those lines.

Will Ookwemin Minising be completed and fully open this year?

where does it say it has to do with a vehicle? Since they shut down a section of the line. I am inclined to believe it wasn't vehicle related.

Unless you have the data on the other TTC lines how would you know if the vehicles on Line 6 are an outlier.

The TTC would have no problem throwing metrolinx under the bus if it was the vehicles that were having the problem. but they have not said anything bad about the vehicles but they have mentioned about other infrastructure and maintenance problems. On The Eglinton Line the TTC did mention that...

Where have either the TTC or Metrolinx blamed the vehicles for slow operations on Finch??

No one from the TTC or metrolinx have complained about the trains so i think we should drop it as a cause for the slow operation of the line.

Based on these charts getting the LRT down to 40 minutes would be a significant improve from the bus at most time
