Am i the only one that just saw you contradict yourself within your same post? "Those entitled suburbanites taking out subway seats...grr" - "We could use a subway extension to mississauga"

Here's a crazy idea that i've had in my mind for a long time! Remove Allen Road from Eglinton to Rainee Ave. Turn Allen Road into a 4 lane tree-lined road (with bike lanes south of Rainee Ave) that transitions to go above the subway and slowly curves west and connects with Marlee Ave. Once the...

I dont think it should be a concern if the crosstown can be converted into a subway. Leave it as it is withe same specs. 3 car LRT size stations. That is all we need. Automation can add capacity through increased frequencies. If eglinton ever reaches capacity point (which btw we technically...

+1 Agreed. Start an extension to Warden asap. Will serve dense warden/finch cluster plus viva green will probably just reroute to this station as well. Serves future Markham downtown at Warden/hwy 7. Phase 2 can be an extension to Agincourt station when ridership on the Yonge to Warden...

I really find it confusing/perplexing/downright stupid that most people repeatedly ignore this simple obvious fact. Sheppard from McCowan eastbound is pure suburbia. Wide Right of Way. Trees all around. When i drive through there i feel like i am in the lowest density strip of 905 possible...

I doubt it. I lived in downtown Calgary this summer (may-aug) and i can assure you that despite having the highest parking rates in Canada and the 2nd highest in north america, it still has more than enough traffic in downtown.... And that is with its car oriented efficient one-way system on...

Does anyone here realize that signal priority is impossible for Toronto streetcar routes because they are small little vehicles that come often. How can an entire road system keep giving a streetcar priority when it comes so often. Worse yet, they bunch together... Make the St. Clair line like...

Congestion Pricing in Downtown Toronto right now is the only system that would work because it is the only area that is served well by transit and is central to all area's around it. Bathurst to DVP Lake Ontario to Bloor Exception would be Gardiner expressway. This means, if a commuter is...

I wonder how much it costs to provide the ARL stop compared to not providing it. It never made sense to have an express business class express train to stop in Weston. People sometimes can be so stupid... Yeah i hope they do discontinue that stop but i also hope having these raised platforms...

Eglinton should be built as planned, completely segregated, however completely underground is not necessary (especially between Leslie and Victoria Park) While i would ideally like to see a sheppard subway, i know that it is not practical for today's tight funds. As a result, i think we should...

Do they really have to rip out the entire track bed and then rebuild it again? I understand the approach to the stations need to be redone because it is low-floor LRT but the entire line really? Its all standard guage... I would think all that's necessary is... * rebuild track near stations *...

I would only support Transit City if it was built "Calgary Style" with a large median, crossing arms, actual 'stations', and suburban subway distances (850m+). Refer to 36 St NE in Calgary for a template. TTC's version of transit city is a complete joke and is just an upgraded fancy streetcar...

And this "Vancouver Model" (Also found in Calgary, Edmonton, [Future] Ottawa, Many US Cities) should be precisely what we should follow for all new expansions... But i say "Vancouver Model" because the complete automation of the trains itself is also equally necessary. If a whole skytrain...

Surprised Nobody's Posted This Yet... http://news.ontario.ca/mto/en/2011/08/presto-makes-commuting-easier-for-families-on-the-go.html

Despite all the arguments being made...i still do not see why we need anyone on the train itself... One station manager at each station? Sure...that's a reasonable idea. In this case it would be up to 26 staff members. Fare collection should be automated outright... Vancouver stations have...

But that is the question...? Why? Vancouver has been operating 100% of their metro system without any drivers for 25 years and they don't have any problems... Why are we paying premium $$ for an underground segregated alignment with automated driverless trains...to then pay an overpriced...

Of all people, You Have a Car? :confused::eek::eek: I thought that was impossible! Hell must have just frozen over! Wow

Yeah but lets be realistic...the only routes in Woodbridge-Vaughan that will always have a decent frequency and ridership are...Highway 7, Weston Rd & Rutherford Road...Maybe Martin Grove too The rest are such terrible ridership corridors no matter what is done...so be realistic and make the...

You must be on some kind of new unknown drug because that is *by far* the most idiotic thing i've ever heard on these forums... Please tell me that is some kind of twisted sarcasm joke?

DISAGREED! Route 10 is important and while the very long circuitous loop through Woodbridge can be eliminated (I say, run it 2-way along Islington north to Rutherford and follow the Napa Valley loop that 85 and 13 use) The route along Ansley Grove to York U should be kept. VIVA Orange may be...
