Or they could just use a compound name after the whole intersection (especially if it's an interchange station like B/Y & Sh/Y), in which case the chances of having duplicate names go down dramatically (unless there are 2 or more intersections within the city in question where BOTH streets...

If the Ontario Science Center moves to the same location as Ontario Place, the bar wouldn't be set very high 😅 I was talking about the proposed renaming of any involved stations, not which lines have already been built and which ones are still in the works.

"Eglinton – Don Mills" and "Sheppard – Don Mills" (after line 3 actually reaches line 4), take it or leave it.

Steve Munro even published an article about this decades ago.

Yes, but what doesn't make sense (at least to an outsider not as intimately well-versed in the system's route history) is why the letter branches are grouped randomly rather than sequentially. For example, why is it ACE, BDFM and not ABC, DEFG, etc.

I agree with that, I was gonna call it that too but since everyone simply called it purple I just went along with it. The NYC 7 is also pretty much the same color.

From an aesthetic standpoint, yes (while subjective, I suspect most would agree that having blue fill in between green (2) and purple (4), as was the case with the SRT, would look nicer than the darker shade of purple). While I've read the discussions about looping around the 407 and what not...

They should really switch to gray for those services, and use actual colors (including red) for whatever lines they wanna include on the subway map. I don't mind line 10 being whichever color, including the purple they wanna use for 3, but the 3 really should be SRT blue. And it's news to me...

It's not merely a linguistic issue, it's a scientific fact that blue & cyan are not in fact merely lighter & darker shades of the same color, cyan is in fact a mix of blue & green despite appearing simply "light blue".

Yes, there are only so many colors on the spectrum, and only so many lines being built in Toronto, and one extra color became available after 2023 that would've been a smoother transition from line 2 green to line 4 purple, yet for some reason they still changed their mind about reusing it...

It's not about whether ShE or ShW will come first per se, but rather whether ShW would be happening at all if they choose concept 1 or 3. I think the ShW extension is essential for 2 reasons (tying both sides of line 1 and a direct connection to Wilson yard). Whether or not a new ShE MSF will...

Concept (1) is merely a subset of both concept (2A) and concept (3), and could be phase 1 of either of the latter (by the time they build to McC, if they chose (1) that would imply the line would never be extended again, or if it would be extended again they would have to have chosen (2A) or...

You mean west, right?

True, given that the concourse is a level between the platforms & the street, perhaps the line 4 platforms can be roughed in there, much like at Sheppard/Yonge, where the faregates lead directly to the line 4 platforms. But the track level would still need to be somewhat below the floor level...

Kipling/Sheppard would certainly be an interesting destination 😆 Is the existing Sheppard West station protected for future line 4 platforms to be built above the existing platforms, or at ground level (as opposed to having to tunnel below it, like the OL)? I'm not sure how a subway ROW would...

I support that, it would be a logical destination for line 1. As a side note, jesus christ this thread is going off like crazy, never before have I been away for only a few hours only to discover 5 FRIGGIN' PAGES of unread posts upon coming back!

So is the never-ending lack of funding.

My point was there is little to no chance of the YNSE opening before the OL, given their current respective phases. The OL certainly seems to be progressing much better than the infamous 5.

If I'm not mistaken, the former is already well under construction, while the latter is yet to have shovels in the ground.

I'm not one of them (though sometimes I do entertain the idea of a hypothetical alternate reality where lines 1 & 2 would use BMT/IND trains, while line 4 would use smaller IRT trains). Unfortunately, rail vehicles can't simply be driven from anywhere to anywhere like buses can (otherwise...
