Maybe Georgetown/Halton Region will realize that the bulk of GO's market starts/ends at Mt. Pleasant, and that service to Georgetown is not warranted. Regarding 2WAD service to Brampton, think of the train utilization. The 9:40am train departure from Bramalea attracts around 300 people. The...

I'm hoping that we'll see a shift in the political system, and the way in which it's structured. How people like Doug Ford and Giorgio Mammolitti are making transportation decisions which will very dramatically alter the way the city works is frightening and in my opinion, unacceptable. Council...

How easy/difficult would it be to reconfigure the track so that we could have Platform_track track_ platform_ track track

I'm hoping for Colle or Matlow to run for mayor in 2014, with Matlow being more likely to run. Despite Ford calling him 2 steps left of Joe Stalin, he's established himself as a centrist, different from Mihevc et al.

Can someone explain to me the true purpose of the PATH network? This is not meant to be sarcastic, but I'm a planning student and a non-Toronto resident, and it has always fascinated me. I've used the PATH on multiple occasions to avoid walking outside during cold temperatures. Is it meant to be...

I was unaware that bus routes were actually monopolized. I find this ridiculous. Is it legislated somewhere?

I take the 25 weekly, and from my experience, approximately 3/4 of the people on the bus to Mississauga transfer onto the Union Train-Bus. I remember hearing that the 25 doesn't originate at Union due to capacity issues, in addition to Peel region being the destination for most trips from...

I think that the following could be feasible: 1) Waterloo-Kitchener-Guelph-Bramalea-York 2)Waterloo-Kitchener-Cambridge-Aldershot-Hamilton There is a large demand for Kitchener-Guelph travel, and is currently only served by Greyhound, and to a lesser extent, VIA.

Speaking of the downtown Kitchener garage, it's a blight on the landscape imo. The brick facade "fits in" with the overall downtown facade fabric, but it's dead in terms of pedestrian activity (go figure). The Oakville garage looks massive! I find it ridiculous that Metrolinx is building this...

Does GO release their ridership numbers by run?

The people that I've been talking to have been curious as to why GO is only running 2 inbound and outbound trains each day from/to Kitchener. It'll take some time explaining to people the restrictions that GO is facing (funding, GEXR issues, Junction Diamond Construction...) with regards to...

2008-present recession rather than transit lie IMO

I used to like DeRo before his ego exploded. This article is bull. Me and my friends used to bike up and down Galloway without ever getting shot, or seeing anyone get shot.

I start Planning at Waterloo next month. Pretty stoked about the program, but not the university itself. I'm also interested in the transportation side of planning. Kimmyx, I'll try to provide you with more info once I've spent a while at the school.

This might be a stupid question, but are the current Queens Quay tracks staying where they currently are (with the streetscape improvements occuring around them)? Thanks

I'm happy that the topic of Subway expansion has been splashed on the front page of newspapers, and is getting wide spread media coverage. I hope that at least Smitherman adopts a similar stance on subway expansion.
