Okay, this is the problem that I have and I would love for someone to correct me if I'm wrong. However, I wonder how many Torontonians are ill-informed about how the TTC is ran and funded. I've seen sarcastic tweets and Facebook posts of people reacting to this news and I think to myself - does...

Phew! What a relief. However, there are some well framed shots in the Building and Construction forum and the Then and Now thread has some very good photographers trying to stage the same "now" photos as the "then" photos.

I can. I live 10 minutes from the site at Weston and 7. But I have a crappy point and click, so don't expect art! :)

I just read this -- and as a Vaughan resident, I have no problems with Vaughan Centre. I'm actually writing to Mayor Bevilacqua about this one.

A couple of very good options in that report -- Personally I like the modified DRL with the GO Satellite stations providing an easy interchange.

Fully agree and totally fair The funny thing is that suburbanites, especially in the 905 do actually pair fare based on zones when using Viva - so it's not foreign to 905ers. Maybe, like you said, it's the 'inner-416' that needs the convincing. They are Torontonians, thus viewed as the same...

Your logic suggests then that everyone that's not from Toronto is self serving and rides the Subway for free. Should tourists pay a tourist tax when they ride the subway because they're not from Toronto? Tourists also clog up the subway lines and take up seats on the train, might as well make...

Seconded.

Exactly! ;) But seriously, you know how many times I've cleaned up 3 or 4 seats when I get onto the subway? And Agram might be onto something, because most of the time that this happens it's when I get on at Keele!

The DRL has been subject to conversation way before York Region joined the party with the Spadina extension, so again -- why is it York Region's fault that Toronto can't get their shit together with regard to planning transit? Reading articles about Toronto's past transit planning, I think it's...

Again -- What good does a DRL do for York Region? Nothing. So why should they pay for it?

No they don't. The ultimatum in this scenario is "if York wants to extend Yonge past Steeles, then York pays for it." Exactly like the Spadina Extension. What good does a DRL do for York Region? Nothing. So why should they pay for it? And this "905ers getting a seat" business is...

There will be "off board TVMs". There was a display at the mock up viewing that explained that there will both.

Who's complaining? I know each and everyday that I make my commute what I'm in for.

I'm not comparing minorities to criminals, I'm saying that there are those who act as though being from the suburbs is a crime or treat suburbanites like foreigners. Is that better? :p

You see EviroTO; your explanation is something that I would definitely accept as a rebuttal in this discussion, but many times and on many websites, I've read attacks on suburbanites "the people". Arguments usually start off with "You guys.." or "People from the suburbs.." -- to which myself as...

All of UrbanToronto, BlogTO, Spacing, Torontoist, etc. have a disdain for the suburbs. It's almost like suburbanites are criminals or visible racial minority.

Changes from the TTC staff I would assume.. Anyway -- Torontoist was at the unveiling today and have tweeted pictures: http://twitter.com/#!/torontoist

They already did the first time when they had a bunch of prototypes at the CNE a few years ago. Besides, what do you think the whole "Toronto Choose Your New Ride" website was all about. The public HAS had its say in the design of the new streetcars and probably won't listen to suggestions about...

They can move to Newmarket then. They're not going to stop the large scale developments, Vaughan is going to boom weather they like it or not and the subway is the catalyst. ExpoCity is the first high rise (even though there's 3 towers at Rutherford and Jane) then there is going to be Allegra...
