    Decent video from Trenitalia

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    The laws of physics are different in Europe

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    This is the problem, just because the density decreases doesn't mean the speed and quality should decrease - quite the opposite - the low density areas are where you should have less stops so you can actually go fast and get to . . . the *dense* places. Nonetheless, both ends of our lovely...

    Toronto Bloor-Yonge Station Capacity Enhancement | ?m | ?s | TTC | AECOM

    That seems like a very Toronto way of doing this. Platform screen doors have been deployed around the world, I am sure we can figure them out. Bloor Yonge actually needs them.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Cross platform transfers are good, but clearly not having them doesn't really fundamentally change the positives of less cost, still much better transfers, and simpler construction? The only people who seem to seriously oppose going above ground are the Nimbys Metrolinx who built a Leed Gold...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    In charge of YRT! A transit success story! Well he did choose who came next :/

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Metrolinx *owns* the land, its next to highways and utility corridors . . . . at what point does demanding the electric train storage facility so we can stop clear cutting greenbelt to build more suburban housing matter to anyone?

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    To be fair Metrolinx spending a billion on something fairly minor is hardly unheard of

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Read the message - *rapid transit* - these trams are far from rapid. . . . . we are building a trunk line with trams Calling the Overground an LRT is shockingly incorrect but in Toronto I am somehow not surprised It will be over capacity from Day 1 unless we have another pandemic - *this...

    Ottawa Transit Developments

    No reason it can't be both The components are *not* the same. The suspension etc is completely different. The vehicles have there issues.

    GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

    I must say if the plan really is just to fill in tracks we are really going to have a bad solution there, the space between the stairwells and the platform edge will be tiny.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    LRT is actually bad - you don't see them building trams as "rapid transit" in the London's, Shanghai's or Tokyo's of the world

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    These reasons feel pretty weak, if we wanted speed we wouldn't go with LRT, and the plan for the surface section appears to be inundating it with people. As yes, Chicago - the epitome of modern transit (that was mostly constructed close to 100 years ago) Surprising that people would complain...

    Montréal Transit Developments

    The Flexities had structural problems, these seem a lot more minor

    GO Transit Midtown Corridor

    We are different but less different than often suggested. Europe's rail freight is more valuable because they tend to use it for higher value goods.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    There is *no* reason it couldn't have been on the surface at Yonge, the street is plenty wide.

    Ottawa Transit Developments

    Oh yeah, they are in trouble going with similar tech to Vancouver, Dubai, and Shanghai compared to *checks notes* uh Sacramento? Good thing LRT is a massive well known success in Toronto!

    GO Transit Midtown Corridor

    Pretty sure he worked as a planner, so maybe there should be more credence given. Also, the midtown line is pretty low hanging fruit? Done smart you could probably do it for the same budget as some of our outrageously expensive subways.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    It is amazing that we are now comparing subway rolling stock to mainline rolling stock with massively different specifications, in terms of speed, door / interior layout, etc. as a way to suggest we *must* have lines with massive trains. As others have mentioned, we're covered - GO has 300-meter...

    They'd definitely do it in Japan or Europe, not confident we could pull it off affordably
