LOL! Hahahaha I couldn't agree more with you! Really, everything about Woodbridge is set up precisely in that mindset...The enormous barrier placed between Toronto and Woodbridge known as the 407 + CN + Hydro Corridor...by the time someone can actually cross all 3 of those corridors your in...

Yes exactly. It would potentially push 77 into profitable territory because there is a lot of density along that corridor and yet no viable bus route because all the attention is given to Hwy 7 just south of it. I would only eliminate it case by case. Islington's 37D is such a useless route...i...

Looking at the subsidies for each route...It is quite stunning how much some routes are getting subsidized... My question is...Now that 77 has lost its inter-regional role with the introduction of ZUM, why can't YRT reroute 77 through Woodbridge Ave from Islington to Kipling or Martin Grove...

Well if they did away with the 15 minute guarentee for all of the VIVA routes, that would be disappointing but for VIVA Orange it is completely acceptable...why? Ever since ZUM started, Hwy 7 West has 7.5 minute frequencies 7 days a week! Now, i live right along the route and surely benefit...

But the question is...do you keep both lines actively running...for example... A) GO Train to Milton via Cooksville - Erindale B) GO Train to Milton via Mississauga City Centre I mean mississauga isn't a mega metropolis yet but having a train that bypasses the city centre wouldn't be such a...

Unlike the situation with the Vaughan or Richmond Hill Extensions, A frequent commuter-rail connection to square one via the Milton Line and a tunnel spur would serve all types of travel... a) Square One to Union - currently served by a GO Bus every 20 minutes, surely this segment will grow as...

If Hamilton International Airport was on the other side of the city [Near or in Burlington] It would be a lot more successful as it is located near the QEW and 403. The current airport is just too far west... An Airport in Burlington {Near 407 & Guelph Line Area} would have been perfect...but...

With all this talk i just realized that 3/4 of Toronto's Universities will soon be linked together by a single subway line... It would be ridiculously easy if you could go from Ryerson to 'University of Toronto' to York University for the average commuter rather than the current situation...

To be fair, it is eliminating one orphan for another...but the difference is that LRTs are used across the world and are proven to work in our cold climate (eg. Calgary/Edmonton) and once this project is complete, extending it east to Malvern and west to the Airport will be cheaper with LRTs...

Maybe for late evenings and weekends. Why not shut down the subway after 9pm and Sundays for example? Monday-Saturday till 9pm. I think there's some good cost savings in that...

Is there enough room to raise the roof of the tunnel between the tracks above or do they have to lower the encased box down a notch then rebuild the tracks? Both seem difficult but i don't see how enhancing an existing tunnel and re-configuring platforms on an existing line can take 3 years to...

Yeah Real Mature... But then again What to expect from a child that cries horror every time gas prices rise by a penny! "OH NO ITS THE END OF THE WORLD"

Fine so keep them in rush hours and have it unmanned during off-peak periods...I don't think every single train from ~5am to ~1am needs a person on board. Automated should be put to full use. I think even if some times delays happen for stupid reasons, i think overall the benefits outweigh the...

Just going to put this out there since nobody has yet to do it... A) Why do we need a person inside the train if it is going to be entirely automated? Is not the main point of automation the advantage of saving labour costs? Once we put them in they will be there forever like today's SRT B)...

I COULDNT AGREE MORE WITH YOU! Imagine Standing at the Foot of Lake Ontario and seeing Queens Park in the far distance! It would be as grand as the US Capital Mall! Sigh...

Just looking at Chicago again...why can't we finally call our lines by their colours and then name the stations as such? For example... Don Mills-Blue and Don Mills-Purple Dufferin-Green and Dufferin-Blue Victoria Park-Green, Victoria Park-Blue, Victoria Park-Purple I think this is probably...

Although this is not a sustainable system of naming stations, unless Toronto is planning to add 100's of km of subways in the near future, these quick fixes should do it... Eglinton Line: Dufferin North (Since it will never be necessary on Sheppard) Forest Hill (@ Bathurst) Bayview South Leslie...

I think it has to do with the fact that they have the full Underground EA complete from Keele till Laird so its more like a Phase 1A and 1B where they can get started on the TBMs and go from Keele till Laird. By the time they reach Laird, one hopes that the EA and design work has been completed...

I think the Danforth corridor should be left alone and continue on with medium density developments. The character of that street is unique in that it consistently maintains a similar look and feel. Furthermore, unlike underused subways in the city like Spadina or Sheppard, Bloor definitely does...

The whole point of this idea though is that the city gets a new subway station built entirely by a private developer. If the future of transit construction is going in this direction, this cheap barebones outdoor addition to the Bloor-Danforth subway is an excellent way to begin... Regent Park...
