Would running a more frequent Lawrence-Sunnybrook shuttle to complement 320 Yonge (already frequent) achieve the same goal? Unless the goal is to serve walk-up traffic on Bayview.

If it fails to protect users from weather, does it still qualify as a "shelter"?

Technically, it's already possible to extrapolate a pattern from just tap on data. It just takes more work. Unless it's a one-way trip, you'll tap on to get home eventually; and for majority of the trips it will be at or around the station you got off at.

I thought it's the Scarborough-Agincourt and Scarborough-North residents that will be most effected, not Don Valley North's.

Transit (specifically with rail modes) is only slower usually because of the time spent on the last mile; otherwise it's quite competitive to automobiles, especially during rush/inclement weather.

Unpopular opinion here, but because their name is "transportation" department, not "transit" department. Being both "pro-car" and "pro-transit" is their job.

It's quite difficult to gauge the difference in the slopes' gradient. I tried to use google's bicycle route planning to do an estimate. These should be the steepest slopes on those roads: ~11.5% slope ~7.5% slope

And if their destination is downtown, there'd be less incentive to take surface all the way to Finch, once it ceases to be line 1's terminus.

It will have to be those open-bottom cupholders, or else you'll find them soiled with sticky stains from beverage spills or all sort of nastiness after the very first day of use.

Finch slopes down at Bayview. Portal can make use of that. The question is how good can LRVs handle the slopes between Willowdale and Don Mills during winter. Will they be better than buses? If there's tunneling involved, the cost will probably balloon to billion figures. The question then...

Can we agree Sheppard is a suburban line, and suburban line relies on good connector surface routes for ridership? The current line has poor/no connecting routes for the non-terminus stations. That does not help with ridership. Take for example Lawrence station on Yonge, how much walk-up...

They can also stagger route branches: Bathurst to Kennedy, Yonge to Middlefield. (I know the Yonge to Kennedy branch no longer exists)

When GO gets to 15minutes or better headways for most of the day (morning peak/midday/evening peak/evening), then it's considered rapid transit, regardless of level crossings or not. CTA Brown line is rapid transit. It is in their own separate right of way, is not part of a street, and the...

Out of curiosity. Access to rapid transit stations (grade-separated) per ward. * if counting UP service at Weston ** Ellesmere and Midland as one station If station falls on a border, then the station gets counted to both wards on either side. Etobicoke North 1 0 Toronto-Danforth 14 6...

Take 401 east, exit at Dixon, and hop back onto 401 west. Usually that's the better option than going through Eglinton West/Martin Grove. You can also do the 27 north, Dixon, 401 west loop.

That is a generalization. Me and most of my friends who live around/north of the 401 will choose transit when it suits them (park and ride at a suburban station), and drive to almost everywhere else not downtown. Even if they are to drive downtown, it's mostly a full carpool or the entire family.

Another way to put it: because they (MTR) are privately operated and being a monopoly on rapid transit, they are more incline on being "budget conscious". Depends where you read, the effects of that are already happening.

And I give you, recessed lighting and transverse/longitudinal hybrid seating. Source My observation is that JR East's (Yamanote line's operator) design language is generally more on the utilitarian side. You get more interesting designs from operators in less "cosmopolitan" regions (the...

FYI, those cars have since been replaced. This is what they have now - no more foldable benches. Source

It shouldn't be tunneled on Eglinton West (shouldn't be on-street either). Eglinton however, is a much more important transportation corridor than Jane.
