There’s actual beneficial reasons as to stopping at the 407 Station. There’s a lot of factors that goes into it that promotes and encourages efficient regional travel to/from Brampton. A) the no brainer is that its easily the fastest way to the Subway and arguably York U itself. Traffic on...

The extension to Yonge makes the most sense, especially as Yonge line will be going more north. Although the extension on the Sheppard line to Sheppard West is honestly more preferable, if it can't happen, then the Finch extension works just as fine. If both happens anyways then that would be...

There are new schedule changes to some buses and trains. On the bus side, both sets of changes will occur on October 1. First, the buses that service Scarborough Centre Terminal will now be relocated to its planned temporary stop until the SSE opens. Next, the 52 and 56 will now serve...

Port Credit does not, and will not ever work at all. The Hurontario LRT construction on top of the QEW traffic makes this option one of the worst detour options which is especially unbearable if you’re coming from Milton or Acton/Georgetown. The atrocity of the weekend service throughout the...

Idc if those alleged changes come in October or January, just give us the Kitchener hourly weekend service at the very least. This will be the bare minimum just to make weekend travel less incompetent in the west end until they can truly go forward with the rest of those updates.

Just realized that they have been heading to the 407 station if the Barrie and Stouffville buses were to detour, meaning that they can go to the subway if they wanted to, despite them not having that many choices coming from more north. It’s probably easier to detour where ML owns the terminals...

We have the transitway ROW that shouldn't be counted out which could easily be converted into light rail, on top of the Lakeshore line providing more metro style frequency in the next couple years. If Milton gets its long awaited all day service, thats 6 whole stations cutting across the whole...

https://www.upexpress.com/SchedulesStations/ServiceStatus Can Metrolinx PLEASE stop using Port Credit as a quick and easy detour method. It doesn’t work at all and if anything it frustrates people even more for those that just wants to head downtown. Why not just go to Kipling or even Yorkdale...

So is this also a "reference" that service is barely increasing, and/or nothing new or returning is coming? Guess we should go back to sleep then...

Gotta love it when they tell us when the service updates are coming via a random person’s tweet or dm.

To me, there’s probably 3 options they can go about this Option 1: Run at least 60 min service from Union-Bramalea and allow the 21 GO buses to also go there for transferring as well. Probably the best option that they can come up with, given the new bus terminal. If they run a 8-10 car train...

^ Its not that spreading negativity to all of this is what is needed right now, but they could've at least thought it out more. For York U, if it was an all day service again, along with maybe compromising the VMC branch and add a stop at or near 407 or Pioneer Village instead, then it wouldn't...

The Transit app has the schedules already updated, and Brampton has been doing that mostly for 1-2 weeks prior to their official service announcements. The service to York U shows that it would have 3-8 mins peak direction, but here's the catch... counter peak service only gets 30 min service...

There is lost hope for September service. Brampton and MiWay already secretly updated their schedules up until October and for the most part it’s actually terrible and nothing new or not restored yet is here, aside from the returning Zum service to York University. Doubt that GO would be any...

Would also adding a bus lane on QEW help with overall traffic, on top of the insane ridership we see to/from Niagara? It could definitely help with the lack of more train service for now.

Finally, the first weekend where going downtown from Brampton won’t be as dreadful! In all seriousness though, hoping this becomes successful with loads of demand and that they make this permanent as a great point starting from here.

But isn’t it also possible for Brampton to eventually push for its frequent rail service to extend to the downtown from Bramalea? Having Zum on the remainder of Main/Hurontario and the Queen BRT should count for something as well. Safe to say there’s jealousy on both sides 👍.

The most logical solution for the Kitchener line right now, is to run any possible weekend service to/from Bramalea, and to make it 30 min all day weekdays as they were probably going to before. Its understandable if they're waiting until September to hopefully roll it out as that's when the...

Maybe they were actually planning to do 30 min, or at least 60 min weekend to Bramalea but then ridership went significantly down and they just decided to not go forward with it for now. Off peak trains are now starting to see a lot more ridership compared to the beginning of this year, and the...

They aren't even hesitating no more. At least one thing about this detour is that it does help Brampton, Georgetown, Milton and Meadowvale riders get to the Niagara bound train more directly, but whether that's a good thing or not considering the climate of that service right now, remains to be...
