There are several potential strategies for reducing the LRT's wait times. If some of them (shortening the cross-street green phase)...

They just have to trigger a TSP signal from far enough away for the cross street to have enough green time for the pedestrians to cross...

Au contraire, my view is that a better TSP and other improvements to the LRT operation should be attempted first. Finch West LRT is a...

Both would be useful measures. On St Clair I can easily see 5-8 stops that can be easily removed, especially around Bathurst/Vaughan/St...

St Clair and Spadina are fine. Those routes are short, and therefore their slow speed does not matter much, the total travel times are...

Agreed! I find all the weather-related issues shocking. That should have been fully tested by opening. Either the weather has been...

LRT is the right technology for Finch - based on the experience of other cities that are capable of running their LRTs at a decent...

The train control system knows where each train is, a smart signal priority system should be able to learn the typical travel times and...

A few thoughts from my first ride, Monday, December 29, around noon: - Parked the car by the Westmore stop (first stop east of Humber...

Simpler may be better. Draw in the Ellesmere BRT - maybe move it up to Centennial College and then along Progress to a new Ellesmere...

I think both factors can contribute, but the quality of traffic control is more important. Some route designs may be more prone to...

I didn't observe much by way of bunching on day 1 - if anything, the opposite problem existed, with the headways being stretched out far...

I didn't negate the existence of bunching, anywhere, for any reason - especially not bunching caused by delays - but I was responding to...

That's actually where the 4 in 401 comes from (total number of lanes). 1950's they added 4 lanes. 1960's they added 8 more lanes...
