Unfortunately a park and ride at 407/Islington would have no access to the highway.

That seems like a bad idea. I would put it on Highway 7 to connect with VIVA and align the station to the north so that a short walkway can connect it with Woodbridge Ave. where all the density is.

No kidding, what a massive waste of land for all those years. I'm glad the whole thing is being redeveloped, even if the new land use is nothing special.

I see. I'm not an expert obviously, but my first reaction to that explanation is "good luck with that". Nothing nearby, much further away from anything than Aurora GO, no local bus connections, and subject to the woeful service pattern of the Richmond Hill line. Doesn't seem likely to attract...

Can someone explain the point of Bloomington GO to me? Where is the ridership supposed to come from? I'm not super familiar with the area, but looking at it on google maps it looks like it's in the middle of nowhere between golf courses, farms, and rich-people suburbs.

This but unironically.

Mississauga...the final frontier...

The one branch that travels via the 403 is very similar to the existing route 40: https://www.gotransit.com/static_files/gotransit/assets/pdf/TripPlanning/FullSchedules/FS05092020/Table40.pdf

The midtown line is closer to the Line 5 station at Leslie than it is to Science Centre Station.

That's because of the forced transfer at Kennedy which makes many trips inconvenient. No one really cares if different lines use different rolling stock.

As a regular rider of buses on Wilson Avenue I fucking wish we had some red lanes to bypass traffic.

>attractive driving or transit option for north Richmond Hill (Oak Ridges), south Aurora and possibly eastern Newmarket, as well as driving in from Queensville/Keswick, Beaverton, Uxbridge and surrounding rural areas. Boy do I have news for you: There is no local transit planned to connect to...

GO Transit Bolton Line when?

If line 2 does get extended, I don't think it'll be any time soon. There are so many other higher priority projects, not to mention that brand new bus terminal they just built at Kipling.

OneCity, you seem to be a strong supporter of building subway lines in suburban Scarborough, where the densities don't really necessitate it, and where lower-capacity transit solutions like LRT and BRT would provide speedy transit without the unneeded capacity and at a SIGNIFICANTLY lower cost...

I love that abandoned road that leads to the Islington/Finch intersection. It feels like you're the last person on earth (aside from the fact that you can hear cars on Finch Avenue).

throwing out the entire relief line plan and starting from scratch doesn't seem like building transit "with some form of urgency" to me. Nor does throwing out the scarborough subway plan and starting that from scratch (although I do prefer the 3-stop plan). Are you saying we will never have a...

I don't think any of the transit enthusiasts here disagree with extending this line, only that it shouldn't be a priority over much more important projects, which it unfortunately probably will.

I disagree with building a subway under highway 27 lmao. I could go on, but why bother?

You've mentioned this many times, but no matter how many times I remain unconvinced that this is a big deal at all. Rob Ford lived in northern Etobicoke and I'm sure he never commented on the needs of downtown transit riders, right? Oh no wait, he constantly, endlessly campaigned for the...
