i was thinking of a new idea... why not make a new route from Humber College to Downsview station? If we are coming from the west, the Bus route will follow finch from Humber College up to Sentinel Drive... 1. At Sentinel, the buses would turn left and then right onto Murray Ross Parkway up...

YES! YES! YES! Even if gas is 999¢ Freight does not Use the Subway! Trucks are necessary! Small Businesses in the service industry! There's so much more... Commuters are not the only people that use Freeways! I would rather have a truck going on a freeway then a fancy boulevard with...

I Totally disagree on that point. If anybody here travels outside of Toronto, then you KNOW for a fact that there are many cities that build excellent freeway thoroughfares that look VERY good... And i think in Toronto, we have very good Suburban Freeways comparing to the ones in the United...

In terms of the new Barrie Waterfront/Allendale station, google maps shows that the line has no rail tracks going further north into the city core but there is one rail line that deviates west...I'm sure barrie has a plan to put in a mini waterfront streetcar from the go station to the city core...

Ah I see thanks. Also does anyone have any pdf/EA of the allandale station under construction? Another question...how many sidings are required along the Barrie Line for its entire length in order to operate all-day service?

Question about Barrie Line... I read somewhere on this forum that it takes 1 hour 10 mins to complete an entire one-way trip. So how does GO run the 4 morning and 4 afternoon trips on this line? Do any of the 4 trains make a run back along the same tracks to make another run? Or is there a...

Re: Finch West with Articulated Buses. What is the technical limitation that stops the TTC from using Articulated Buses along Suburban Avenues? I think Finch West could be improved instantly if it had the same frequency but with 60 ft buses instead of the current ones! Mississauga does an...

GO Transit is surely integral and part of the multi-modal mix but ultimately the current Yonge congestion levels have to drop or at least stay the same...but not grow! The only way to do this is to interline trains from DRL into the Bloor Danforth so that commuters can choose every other...

Well another option, as mentioned by some others, is to put in express tracks on the DRL and maybe the express tracks should tie into the underground Y on the Danforth line that is currently used to access the greenwood yard. As a result, local tracks would serve all stops between downtown...

Very True! And despite the many poor examples of public sector, there are an equal number that are very good but never mentioned... One I can think of is Canada Post! Its just organizations like the TTC that give just a negative view!

But presto IS designed by the private sector... Accenture! Hmm? Which makes you wonder...

Express tracks down Yonge isn't for speed (although that will improve as well) but rather it is to get all the outer suburban commuters into the core on their express route (continuing the pattern of wide stop spacing eg. Eglinton, St. Clair, Bloor) while the population south of Eglinton can...

I am going to go shift to a new question here... What would be the estimated cost of building Express tracks (either 1 or 2) along Yonge from Bloor to Eglinton then building a new subway line along either Bay or Church/Jarvis terminating at Queen? And would this be cheaper than building the DRL...

April Fools

If anything...why cant Jane buses start a new Express branch? Route starts at Black Creek Station...goes up Black Creek Drive EXPRESS with zero stops. It exits at Jane. Then just goes up Jane all the way to Steeles. This will do so much for Jane without much expense because there is...

Here's the official news release... http://www.news.ontario.ca/opo/en/2011/03/ontario-and-toronto-moving-forward-on-public-transit.html Key Notes: > "Along Eglinton Avenue from Black Creek Drive in the west to Kennedy Station in the east. It will run largely in a tunnel except for sections...

A bizarre idea that Rob Ford may do is...reap the benefits of a "free" subway on Eglinton and pass it on to Sheppard... Since Eglinton is so heavily underdeveloped and has plenty of land from Don Mills up to Birchmount (and to a lesser extent, Kennedy), the city could charge levies on all new...

It will obviously be on the subway map! Scarborough RT isn't a subway but its suggested as one... Eglinton Line is my vote.

All-in-all its a great plan! If they can reduce the costs of the eglinton line by elevating it from Don Mills to Kennedy, they would save a tonne and could maybe send the remainder to extending the line to malvern town centre! Since the line will be interlined, looks like we're gonna have...

How can there be a 28-29 when the maximum track space is used and the telus building borders the south end? After 27, there are two bypass tracks, Are they going to remove a track in order to add a platform?
