Yikes, that looks horribly overdone. I think the TTC ones are about the most a design needs to "scream". Exciting, though!

This suggestion is repeated every few pages on this thread, and as always, someone - in this case me - needs to remind people that a green right arrow means that pedestrians are prohibited from crossing the street. With a green globe, cars can turn right but must yield to pedestrians with a walk...

Their projects are hilariously simple in comparison to LRT/Subway projects. No tunnelling, no elevation, very little if any construction of actual new roadway (unlike even the Mississauga Transitway), the "stations" are just a shelter with a canopy and not actual buildings by any real standard...

Several of the new readers have been installed at Aurora GO station, which is one of the stations that was on GO's list for the few stations that are getting them as a pilot before a widespread replacement. This was quicker than I expected. They currently have bags taped over them and are not...

Through what practical means? Passengers don't want their fares or taxes raised, but that's the only way to pay for always-on cellular connections for non-TTC buses (GO buses, YRT/Viva, MiWay, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, HSR, and Durham) which currently sync Presto data using Wi-Fi in their...

Cars aren't banned from the street. They still need greens to make their right turns. Contrary to popular belief, you are never required to make a right on a red, it is optional; greens must be provided if the street is open to cars. And a green right arrow doesn't work because that prohibits...

Most of the service is being added in the off-peak/weekend hours, and it will mostly be added bringing lines up to roughly the current rush-hour service frequencies - and while the frequencies will be that high, the ridership of those trains will not be as high as the rush hours trains. I don't...

404 southbound HOV lane was being paved today southbound from 19th Avenue to Elgin Mills. Pretty good progress since I recall they only started digging up that area a few months ago. Northbound doesn't look far behind. For anyone not keeping close track, the status is: 407 to Major Mack - just...

Yes, I drive the 404 daily, and it's ridiculous that the widening is 100% complete - fully paved, lights installed, and everything - between Major Mack and Elgin Mills, but they're keeping the HOV lane barricaded off. Then it's on track for completion easily by Summer 2020 between Elgin Mills...

GO is selling tickets online? When did this happen? https://tickets.gotransit.com/

A history of corruption with SNC Lavalin? Hmm, nothing rings a bell...

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I used to live at Bathurst and Lakeshore and worked at U of T - the commute would take me anywhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour 15 minutes by TTC barring any exceptional service disruptions. I previously had to walk to a bikeshare near Bathurst and Wellington then the...

There is a connection if you go west and south, then before the MTCC doors there are doors to Delta, PWC is two buildings east - but it's *much* faster to just go south down the York West Teamway...

Does anyone else think these sound eerily familiar to the T1/Hx subway trains when accelerating or decelerating, rather than the flexity freedom/outlook?

The day pass ticket is useful for 1 person because, keep in mind, cash fare riders are not eligible for the 2 hour transfer, they are subject to the old rules of a single continuous net-one-way trip with no stopovers. A presto rider would have to take distinct rides in each 2 hour period for 10...

As an electric vehicle driver myself, Metrolinx made roughly every possible wrong choice when installing these charging stations: They installed "smart" ChargePoint units with an upfront cost of approximately $10,000 each, rather than "dumb" stations with a cost of $500-$1000 each (still rated...

Plenty of people do, because the only alternatives are the 401 or surface streets; which is to say, there aren't alternatives for lots of people, as a lot of 25 minute drives would turn into 2 hour drives during rush hour and that's not doable for most 9-to-5 workers. It's simple math. Every...

Is there a source that transit cards in Apple Pay are subjected to a 30% cut? e.g. does Suica in Japan lose 30%? That doesn't sound right...I know 30% is the figure for app store apps, but I have never heard of literally any apple pay implementation where 30% is taken.

They've stated that the Day Pass won't be available on Presto because the 2-hour transfer is viewed as being sufficient for the majority of cases in which a day pass would have previously been useful. However, I believe Heather MacMillan Brown has said that they plan to have a day pass...

I believe they've stated it'll be discontinued, the reasoning given was that Presto makes it easy to pay cross-agency fares, and that more fare integration deals are in the works.
