Pioneer village north entrance is north of Steeles Ave, which is technically Vaughan.

Tokyo's subway system is a perfect example of a system that use two or more track gauges throughout the system. Some lines use narrow gauge (1'067mm) while other lines use standard gauge (1'435mm). The toei Shinjuku line even uses a 1'372 mm track gauge. Different lines also have different...

I honestly think this third rail vs catenary debate has gone overboard. There are small advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems. Interestingly enough the trainset that will be used runs on 1500v overhead on Rome line C and will run at 750v third rail on the upcoming Honolulu metro...

Only two TTC bus routes will move (without the additional of Cummer station). 53 and 60, as well as 953 and 960, will go to Steeles station. 36, 39, 42, 97, 125 and 939 should still go to finch station. I guess that is still a good 30% - 40% decrease in buses however. Maybe they can renovate and...

It would be nice to get washrooms at each station.

You wouldn't even be able to do this with third rail. Quite dangerous to have easy access to tracks and crossing with third rails (even if crossings don't have third rail). That's another major benefit ro catenary. Although I guess Ontario line is fully grade seperated so it doesn't really...

There are some hilly sections on Yonge Street north of Steeles Ave. Not sure if this is a factor that would affect placing elevated guideways. First dip | Second dip It appears steeper when driving north of Steeles Ave than google maps would indicate.

Pretty good video showing what service will look like.

It's nice to see that they are using tiles or some sort of wall design material. The TYSSE stations which only have bare concrete already look quite disgusting with cracks and water marks showing.

I feel like they could eventually add a branch to the Ontario line and have it continue along Queen West. A lot of other places do branch lines so I could see it happening in this case as well.

Arcadia reminds me of when I went to see teamlabs borderless in Tokyo, Japan. I would imagine that after the popularity wears down for the locals, it will still be a popular attraction for tourists. There is also the option of redeveloping the exhibit over and over again after every few years to...

Generally, east-west 400 series highways are assigned odd numbers, while north-south highways are assigned even numbers. The bradford bypass will likely be assigned an odd number.

Technically, it is 4 interchange stations, but only 3 of them are downtown.

Does anyone know what the planned frequency is going to be during peak and off-peak service?
