I don’t see Metrolinx doing any better under any government. They were being useless under the Liberals and continued under the PCs.

You can buy one. The XE60 exists but the maximum range offered is the 186 mile model compared to the 254 mile for the XE40. That is only 73% of the range. They would be more suited for rush hour runs like 941 Keele, 953 Steeles East or 985B Sheppard East. When the TTC did the test, they...

That would be great if that's accurate.

If you read what the report said, it's the end of the line for hybrid artics. The current engines don't meet the EPA2027 specs and thus cannot be sold in a few years. They need Cummins to develop a new engine and NFI needs to invest a significant amount of money to make it fit a new chassis. If...

A (big) battery ebus and a trolley pole (with a smaller battery) ebus isn't that much different. One has a power souce, the big battery while the other has two power sources, a smaller battery and two trolley poles. Everything else could be the same. Guess there won't be new artics anytime soon...

All I remember was there was a survey on their website, most people preferred the T-1 layout over perimeter seating.

It was called the "Ontario Subway Program" when announced to fund 4 "subways", not sure if that term still exists within the budget.

My suggestion to the TTC: just cancel the 34 Eglinton parallel bus service. Avenue to Yonge is already gridlocked in rush hour with this one lane per direction design. They are just extending this all the way to Keele so nothing moves.

Like I said a couple of weeks ago, @Reecemartin has posted what I described about the 510 being all stuck south of King

I don’t know if everyone forgot. The whole point was originally to build a LRT line on the surface but Eglinton was too narrow in midtown with a higher ridership projected. So the tunnel was selected between Keele to Brentcliffe. The rest of the line from Martin Grove to Kennedy would be in the...

It makes more sense to just move the GO buses to Sheppard/McCowan and make a big hub there. Shhh. People don't know that the 129, 130, 131, 132 and 169 would end up there. I think once TTC does a survey, everyone will pick the routes to stay at STC. I really don't think they would keep the...

They could elevate the entire eastern line starting around VP. The could build the tracks directly above the centre of the roadway or to one side. It be Scarborough signature rapid transit. A good reminder of it.

Don Mills to McCowan with 6 proposed stations with a length of 7.2km could potentially reach 50km/h avg if they can get top speed to 80 km/h. The same distance through downtown portion of Line 2 would cover 12 stations. That's a lot more deacceleration and dwelling.

That could have ended badly if a train is inbounded.

I believe they scheduled streetcars on St Clair starting June 23. This will be an interesting messed of unscheduled and untrackable busses.

No, especially south of King in rush hour. You'll walk faster than the bus stuck in gridlock traffic. They should really short turn all buses at King in PM rush. Instead the plan is to run buses every 2.5 min through that mess. Get ready to see 20+ buses all stuck south of King.

I would really love to see them relief the Gardiner/DVP with a northbound offramp at Eastern. There is no exit between Jarvis and Bayview/Bloor which is a good 7.5km if the ramp is blocked for whatever reason. Getting from Southern Etobicoke to East Toronto is really hard to do these days with...

Instead of adding more ramps to and from the DVP, removing the ramps would just moved all the cars to Dundas. The 505 will be more impacted with the long queue of cars trying to heed up the DVP. The city is doing everything possible to make travels from west to east impossible with a car.

I guess they are still pointing fingers. ML gave bad specs (cause they never built a subway before) vs Crosslinx (who is hired cause they are suppose to be the experts follow ML's bad specs). Now no one wants to talk about it. Maybe the line will never open and all they are doing are stall...

Should build some truck only lanes and keep them there. Probably some for speed demons too. Signed use at your own risk!
