I guess you need to know an estimated cost of something before committing funding for it. At this stage the range in how much it could cost is too wide.

People are so upset with Ford that no matter what he does you'll get people upset with him. This is combined with the Toronto Star's constant pursuit of a "Gotcha" moment. We had no committed funding for the DRL all the way to Eglinton and as far west as Exhibition. It was just going to be...

People are glossing over the fact that the Ontario Line, although only sharing 3Km with the previous DRL, will actually be using the same alignment through the most complex part of the route (Downtown Toronto) where the stiffest engineering challenges exist. Using the existing rail corridor...

Because your phone can receive the payment credentials directly onto your phone from the PRESTO server, whereas a PRESTO card relies on the machines on the buses and at the stations to be updated so that they know that your card has had a top up. It's why when you do a top-up at Union station...

With all due respect, I understand what you're trying to say, but many drivers that park at Finch Station don't use Yonge Street to get there. To distill future or even existing numbers based on Bus Ridership and vehicles along Yonge Proper doesn't give the full picture. The catchment at Finch...

It would be nice if you linked to some data or studies to back this up beyond just stating 100 passengers per hour outside of the peak for the corridor which is absurd ( I hope you misspelled and meant 1,000 at least). The Yonge-Subway Extension Benefits Case produced by SDG in 2013 identifies...

There will be a storage facility underground for trains north of Richmond Hill Centre Station + when they did the studies for the Yonge Extension they also looked at whether a future extension to 16th avenue would be feasible and that's why the line is dotted, although nothing is planned for the...

You're being rude and overly confrontational, the likes I haven't seen from someone on this forum in a long time. Beyond this it sounds like you are ill-informed about what is going on north of Steeles where tremendous growth is occurring and high-rises have been built despite a lack of funding...

Since when did lines all focused on providing north-south travel ever get confused with providing east-west travel in the north of Toronto? It's almost as if (gasp) the busiest highway in the world is busy because people go east-west in Toronto as well as north-south.

I've been casually following this thread for the past year and I'm a little unclear as to why you have so much disdain for Moose. What's the catch with what they are proposing?

Why? it won't change anything 95% of all traffic currently on front is Taxis. The area has basically done the job for them through design and all you'll do is shift the few pick-up/drop-off vehicles to other streets where there aren't any loading zones.

It's mentioned in the latest Regional Transportation Plan by Metrolinx as projects beyond 2041 and references issues with the train yard in Scarborough that need to be resolved before this can be feasible and hence blocks this corridor from being feasible for two of the three potential end routings.

This is the card I have/use

Literally started noticing this week. I also started to think my card was dying. I have to basically rub my card completely flat to get it to read now.

On a side note, I'd love it if the St. Clair and Spadina streetcar routes went through a stop elimination review. I'm convinced that the small stop distance on both routes contributes to the overly slow travel times and bunching. On Spadina get rid of the Richmond, Sullivan, and Sussex Stops...

the King stop formerly at Fraser St (eastbound only) has been moved east to Joe Shuster Way recently. Makes way more sense, although westbound streetcars going between Atlantic Avenue and Joe Shuster Way stop within 80m of each other (due to construction). They should just eliminate one of the...

Makes sense stop spacing is pretty spread out.

I have to say, I visited Waterloo a few weeks ago to tour the iON LRT. It's a really cool project. but I do have to say when you see the line in person, the wiring for this LRT seems kind of.... ugly. I'm no stranger to LRT wiring as someone who regularly takes St. Clair but these wires seem...

While this may work in theory, typically TSP uses subsequent cycles to go back to the original coordinated signal plan. When you have a high frequency line like King it leaves the signal in a perpetual state of playing catch up, especially at major intersections which is where the highest delays...

I mean the government did just invest $1B to update Via's fleet which is a good start.
