    1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    Then they go complain on Twitter and Facebook that the operator "closed the door on them". It's hilarious.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I think the TTC is planning on buying arctics for their next order - I read it somewhere on Steve Munro's blog. Or maybe smallspy can shed some light on this as well..

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    It's by no means the best plan, but it's a start and at least councillors are listening and trying to provide the best bang for the buck. If the Finch BRT mirrors VIVA's BRT on Highway 7 with easy conversion to LRT then that should be taken as a sign of progress as it kinds of irks me that...

    Vaughan 77 Woodstream | 52.8m | 15s | 77 Woodstream Inc | KFA

    To be honest sixrings, this isn't too far from VCC -- maybe 10 minutes west of it. However, your post is correct as those post were annoying to read! There are alot of mid-low rise project going on in that area that includes, Highway 7 and Kipling, Highway 7 and Islington and Woodbridge Ave...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I think it has to do with the fact that within the first minutes of the website going live, it was spammed with a bunch of phony and "ironic" donations, most of them festuring "gay" and "bicycle" in it. I am in no way saying that Mayor Ford's actions against this are true, but if people are...

    651 Queen West Restoration (formerly Big Bop)

    I played many a show there in my early teens, but nothing will be like the last one I played one month before it's closing on December 20th, 2009. The crowd just seemed a little more lively that night, perhaps because they knew it was a month away from closing. Hopefully I can get down there...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    I'm not sure if this has been discussed in this thread however, I think it's time that a major change is made to the on ramp to the 400 NB going EB on the 401; where it merges with the Weston Road on ramp. I don't know why it is one single lane to get onto the 400. It is a sea of red...

    When is a service cut not a service cut? When YRT says it isn't

    I believe VIVA Orange is going to be eliminated once the subway opens and then replaces with a full length VIVA Purple route. According to Wikipedia:

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Well I live in Woodbridge and have been on the Sheppard Subway once when I went to see my mom, she works at Bayview and Cummer and I was already downtown. So no, I haven't really been on it, but just by reading message boards and blogs, it seems that outside of the rush hour that the Sheppard...

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Aside from all the issues of the LRT being underground and vehicles being of different gauge, what worries me about the Eglinton LRT is that the general public will make it the scapegoat for all things TTC -- maybe they'll avoid it (like Sheppard) or curse it's existence (like St. Clair), when...

    Transit City Plan

    Pretty much, I was under the impression that the Jane LRT and Don Mills LRT were going to operate almost like the streetcars.. I know that parts of the Jane LRT were proposed to go underground.. Mind you I was a fan of TC (Mostly of the Eglinton and Finch lines) -- I just think that it...

    Transit City Plan

    Not the parts of Transit City that were going to be in mixed traffic. Which of course would've been nearly identical to our streetcars. For some reason, the LRT has a stigma of being "peasant" or "second rate" rapid transit and that "anything other than subways" is not good enough for Toronto...

    1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    Perhaps then you'd enjoy a ride on Boston's "Big Red" train, which has absolutley no seats. The people in Boston didn't seem to care that they couldn't sit down...

    Perfectly timed. I will be attending Simpsons Trivia tonight! :)

    1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    AoD - I 100% agree with you - however, I think that those of our mentality are a small minority and those that you and I speak of are the majority of TTC riders thinking that they have a sense of entitlement on public transit. Yesterday I saw a beer bottle -- a beer bottle! on my SB train from...

    1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    I agree with you nfitz, however, don't you feel that if the TTC campaigns and asks their customer to clean up after themselves that there would be some sort of revolt? I have a feeling alot of customers with be saying "I have to play X amount of dollars to ride the TTC and they have the gull to...

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    I came down the 410 SB to the 401 to go west to Erin Mills because I was in a hurry (used the 407 to get there) and I noticed the "NEW!" signs pointing out a new off ramp. Maybe it's a modification, because that was the first time I ever exited the 410 to get on the 401 as I would normally...

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    I used the new SB 410 to WB 401 ramp last week -- the one that goes over the tunnel. Also, a little OT but does anyone know what's going on at the Keele interchange? Looks like some work is being done there.
