Using FF 3.6.13 for Mac, I have always seen the ampersand thing. Also, Quick Navigation is not as quick as earlier iterations. How do I go straight to the Transp forum with one click from a thread page? Right now it is two or three steps -- his QuickNav box, scroll to Transp forum. etc. Or hit...

Metrolinx and the city are now involved in restructuring entire Toronto's transport plan. It is more than unplugging a proposed LRT network and replacing it with one/two subway lines. What is the larger transport direction of the mayor's office? When would it be revealed -- in concrete terms --...

Snipped from John Lorinc's excellent piece in today's Globe: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/globe-to/karen-stintz-new-ttc-chair/article1887074/ <<Despite her formal standing in council, Ms. Stintz has found herself in a tricky spot. She backs the mayor's subway vision and...

take a deep breath before posting... LAz, were you being serious, or perhaps overly indulging in the anonymity of this forum? I'm sure many would put me in the Transit City camp ... although I'm not in a rush to be labelled. Do you wish to say that I -- for example -- am very biased, do...

After reading Hume's piece -- and in the midst of a very difficult week for the TTC -- I'm reminded that those who advocate for better transit might do better to define where they agree than focus on the differences. Fiery debate is entertaining to take on, but is it a good use of limited...

Hmmm -Dave, have you posted that dep here? I'm sure it would attract some constructive criticism... ;^) FYI: From TEA: Dear Friend, Thank you to the thousands of you that have emailed and called your Councillors, the Mayor and your MPPs about transit in Toronto. We're having an impact...

I did not catch any reference to line names in the latest Customer Service report, but I did spot this: 2B Improved Direction Signs (Wayfinding) (a) Best practices information is being requested from APTA, UITP and NOVA. Anticipate complete review 05/2011. (b) Two stations will be audited and...

conspiracies under every rock... Yes, it is true the cuts were announced less than a month ago ... but I don't see how a related report qualifies as 'last minute', like the sudden rush to vote on essential service. You just put the topic on the agenda and mark it "Report to Follow" or some...

Roger's Rules... A report must be completed before it can appear on an agenda?

What did I miss, and when did I miss it...? I see no mention of either the revised "Transit Plan for Toronto" or the proposed bus cuts: http://www3.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2011/February_2_2011/Agenda/index.jsp Was there an updated...

As a supporter of the appropriate technology for a given corridor, I don't object to the general logic that BRT can be a less-expensive version of LRT, in roughly the same way as LRT has this advantage over HRT. I think at-capacity bus routes should be bumped up to BRT wherever LRT and HRT...

http://www.mississauga.com/news/article/932847--no-magic-in-presto-hazel * Torstar Network * Jan 24, 2011 - 7:55 AM No magic in Presto: Hazel Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion called the province's new Presto fare card system a "disaster" during a City budget committee meeting, in part...

http://www.mississauga.com/news/article/932844--transit-looks-to-expand-service "Mississauga Transit's new operating budget, introduced last week, proposes a modest increase to its weekend bus service. The City expects to recover just 12.7 per cent of the operating cost of the new service...

"Scarborough can travel everywhere within #Toronto efficiently from Town Centre" Too bad about travelling within Scarborough... Well, there's one Rapid Transit route now between STC and the former Vic Park border.* By 2015 (17?) there would be another. So... if the RT is rebuilt as subway...

quick, somebody crunch these numbers: TTCchair Karen Stintz #Toronto benefits with a #TTC line under Eglinton going through Wards 3,4,11,12,15,16,17,21,22,25,26,34,35&37. #TOcouncil 9 hours ago Favorite Retweet Reply Okay, in what year could some of these wards expect transit "under...

I had missed this particular take on the Leger RT poll (get it? :o) of last week: http://fordfortoronto.mattelliott.ca/2011/01/20/no-mandate-for-fords-transit-plan/

And yet Ford may need help to kill TC from councillors in affected wards, no? He can discount some dissent as being from citizens vaguely affiliated with an interest group, but it might be unwise to ignore everyone who writes or emails against the subways-or-nothing approach. And would he take...

FYI: Hello Light Rail Transit Supporters! The campaign to save the city-wide Light Rail Transit (LRT) network has picked up a lot of steam over the past few weeks! Groups are mobilizing from across the City to make their voices heard and let Mayor Ford know what they want. On January 27...

I guess there's TOD, and plain old Development. A useful distinction might be whether those condo dwellers are indeed taking transit or hopping on the 401. I've heard Gary McNeil state that he did not care much for residential construction near GO stations because it did not add anywhere near as...

We're talking about operating the system, right? Capital investment has been an ongoing negotiation, and that continues. Perhaps operating is being discussed too, but I don't recall hearing anything on that. ed d.
