Exhibition which already serves multiple streetcar routes, the very busy Dufferin bus, (soon the Ossington bus too), and which will have a four platform regional rail station doesn't align with the "it's just condos" statement - I don't get why you keep repeating that. Even today with meh GO...

I am sure it's been discussed before but for years stations have been built with this in the plan. The main landings approaching Downsview Park and Bloomington are already at the raised height, and the footings are also all raised. Elevator shafts are apparently purposefully built extra tall for...

Docks like this with a second row offset from the first exist in other cities (I am pretty sure they can be purchased as a less ugly integrated unit). Pretty sure they usually have signs on them that say to take from the outer rack first, and fill the inner rack first so that the inner rack...

The GO station that will see 10s of trains per hour as well as two streetcar routes, the Ossington + Dufferin buses are not "just" condos. . . A big connecting station will drive way more ridership than condos anyways. Look at Warden. What about considering the active decline in the quality of...

The need to shut down part of the platform is very similar. It has happened loads on the Stouffville Line with the station rebuilds, the sky has not fallen.

GO bus (and GO in general) needs a major wayfinding rethink - the system is not really easily understandable right now. The process of getting schedules, the way the schedules are designed - I seriously think a summer intern in UX / Design could create something significantly better. The...

For sure, but that seems like all the more reason to have those spots be ev ready.

"Modern LRV's have single doors at each end like TTC" sounds pretty universal! You could have added "some".

Was visiting family in Vancouver, BC recently, new builds there have mandated much more EV charging than in Ontario for years. Their condo building built in 2018 or so had a squared off metal pole / bollard looking thing at the end of *every* stall with a dryer outlet on it. I really believe...

It`s been said before but . . . -Modern elevated guideway and rail are not very large and quieter than road traffic, especially on a straight shot like Hurontario -Comparing elevated rail to an elevated expressway should be a disqualification for one being taken seriously, the scale, amount of...

Except it also goes to Exhibition, which is a major leisure destination that will only grow, and intercepts the busy GO line with likely the most intensive service in the future. Its not just condos . . . though a lot of that is already there? I wouldn't call Liberty Village a "condo cluster"...

I think its worth remembering that Ford (and Legault for that matter - and maybe even Smith in AB?!) are spending a lot of money on transit. Way more than the previous governments were, So the idea that the Conservatives are forever ideologically opposed, especially if they are aligned with...

Happy to see more chargers: https://globalnews.ca/video/9361675/tory-outlines-plan-to-install-hundreds-of-electric-charging-stations-at-green-p-parking-lots That said the on street ones are incredibly ugly compared to others I've seen. I also really think we need to move faster on this. EV's are...

If its going down the centre of a street then unless the businesses are in the median they aren't going to be under it. Not that I agree that it would have an impact anyway.

Not going to be much use if MX / GO does something like last week, reducing service for multiple days because of the suspicion it might snow . . . a bit of a problem in Canada!

Many LRVs / trams have a double door at the front. Not sure why you would claim as if single doors are some universal truth.

FEC and Brightline situation makes me think freight rail being part of things might actually lead to a better outcome . . .

Could the streetcars go faster? Yes, but they are always going to struggle to serve diagonal trips which the OL will do quite seamlessly. At the same time, it will likely be faster to take OL crosstown even if it means going a bit north and south on it, it's just going to be so much faster than...

If the TTC does it its right! Nothing to learn from those foreigners!

Last time I checked the thread is on a western extension of Line 2, most likely to Sherway which happens to have a rail corridor 70+% of the way to it . . .
