Subway to Teston!!!! Who's down for a nearly 2 hr ride to DT Toronto. *foamer face*

Westjet flies to Japan out of Calgary IIRC. Though I'm not sure how many people in SSM/NB would be flying to Japan, or vice versa. Not all travel is across the Atlantic.

This is an area where an entity like Metrolinx SHOULD be helping. Yes the GTAA has pushed it's transit hub plan to the back burner, no they haven't scrapped the plans entirely. Yes there are a number of transit lines that are coming ever so close to the YYZ catchement area. Yes there are...

I suppose, in the West end there's capacity on line 1 to take on passengers at Eglinton W. So some passengers, particularly those near the Eglinton corridor would see improved travel times vs heading down to Line 2, with the same or marginally changed number of transfers. In the East however...

Let us proclaim the great mystery of the urbanist's faith. We need to get people out of cars. We need transit to get people out of cars. Our urban built form is catered to car ownership. What comes first? Transit sucks so every suburban household owns 2+ cars, or every suburban household...

A little late to the party for the 20'th anniversary of VIVA. At the time it felt like a revelation, providing a spine that the rest of the YRT network could connect through. Though 20 years has shown that VIVA only cannibalized funds from other services. VIVA looked great as a concept and...

It is crazy to me that there have been approx 5 iterations of the North End stand configuration since BMO has opened. - The original open North end - The first iteration with a small raised stand and some field level seats. - The Tim Lieweikie renovation - The Argos reconfiguration with most...

I don't have a map. Though I quickly searched the GTAA site and came up with this: - Airway Centre (5915, 5925, 5935, & 5945-55 Airport Rd) - YYZ Corporate Centre (6299, & 6303 Airport Rd) - Malton Corporate Centre (6715, & 6725 Airport Rd) In total these properties make up 1.3 million sq...

The problem is that this isn't a priority for the GTAA, and likely won't be for another decade or so given their current LIFT plans. Without the GTAA advocating for this the Federal, Provincial, and Municipal governments aren't about to table it. The previous plan, which had all (most) lines...

This is more of a "secondary access points" instead of accessibility post. However, open railway map makes it easy to look at the TTC system with in the context of the city and map out potential secondary access points. For example: At St Patrick station a northern entrance at Edward St. At...

Jets are already barred from ytz..

I mean the true elephant in the room is that the federal government encourages rail travel through subsidies and DIScourages air travel for short to medium distance travel. However the environment 'right now' is that the feds overwhelmingly support air travel over rail travel.

LMAO. We are arguing about a second station in Toronto but suddenly we want to add a second station in Peterborough (all 130k population Peterborough?). An airport station and, presumably, a downtown station?

Milano Centrale to Roma Termini is 479 km by rail (according to chat gpt. 570 km by car according to google maps) and Trenitalia is able to run non stop service between the two in about 3 hrs

Yes DC Oshawa Station to union station or Peterborough are both roughly 1 hr by car. However the point of having a shoulder station is to make the outer extremities of the region easily accessible. Having Peterborough as the easter GTA station, you are asking people to add an hour to their...
