Is that connection still there now or was it re-demolished?

Decided to take a field trip to famous 501 queen stop "Parkside Dr at The Queensway North Side"

The HEP was different apparently?

The GTTA couldn't manage a lemonade stand.

I don’t totally disagree with this view, but even things like a bridge to the island are opposed by the residents. This reminds me of how a lot of people want the Portland lens to remain a permanent park. We’re in a severe housing shortage, but people are nimbys about having more housing as well?

Not sure if it's the right place to ask but has anyone ever had to escalate presto issues with metrolinx? I was charged to aldershot 2x when I paid by credit card, for some reason both taps were counted as a tap on! they admitted it was wrong and I'll get a refund that was well over a month...

This is the same system that considers 3 bunched busses or streetcars as "on time" since they left the terminal within 3 mins of schedule.

That study is about the US, I think road rage with guns is almost non existent in Canada. I'll see maybe 3 articles a year in the news and they're almost always at like 2am on a 400 highway. I wasn't able to find a newer Ipsos poll. Though the TTC saying it's your fault you got pushed for...

I haven’t regularly taken the TTC at rush-hour in years, but I noticed the inspectors were all waiting at the bottom of the steps at Bathurst, there was also enforcement at Spadina (though you could literally walk right past them because the stanchions were open)

Nearly half of Toronto transit riders feel unsafe riding TTC: Ipsos poll. Regardless if they're "wrong" you have to do something to tackle that perspective. https://globalnews.ca/video/9531810/nearly-half-of-toronto-transit-riders-feel-unsafe-riding-ttc-ipsos-poll I agree most cities are not...

I keep seeing conflicting reports, this one is on Toronto.ca I fully agree, the Ironic part is YOO made several anti GA changes to lower traffic. It seems they want to focus on private jets since they can't land at YTZ. I wonder how will they feel if YTZ opens up jet traffic? STOLport is...

People need to feel comfortable and safe, then reliability comes into play. I will regularly see on social media people screaming you don't have the right to feel safe, and in the same thought they'll wonder why ridership is down!

Try it with bags full of groceries.

If this was a streetcar line I’d probably agree but two stops won’t make or break the line in my opinion!

Realistically there are only 2 stops worth removing and 1 is next to a grocery store in a low income area.
