Is there any vehicle in the city in which this isn't a problem? Other than new equipment for the first week or so of service. And seeing a clean seat insert doesn't mean you can't pick up bedbugs, either ...

Yuck, the first design looked so much better.

I disagree that a museum is a solution to the problem of being unable to save everything. If you want anything resembling an extensive historical collection, it has to be done through the transit agency. I have every respect for HCRR, but the fact that they rely on volunteer donations and labour...

We don't have any real problems in this city that we're worrying about the look of overhead wires?

The Orion VII was the most numerous bus of the 2000s, it sounds pretty significant to me. That being said I find the notion of saving two 8000s to be fairly ridiculous - if they want two VIIs, an 8100 to complement an 8000 would make far more sense. There is already a GM that is going to be...

Why would it be unlikely to happen for a few decades? Is it so outrageous that a train might break down, and instead of cancelling the trip, equipment might be taken from another line's supply pool to keep the service going? That can happen anytime.

But that's my point, if there's a possibility of a mismatched train being dispatched, suddenly the traveller doesn't know they are on the right train.

In the event that a route had an equipment shortage and had to borrow another, the liveries would be all out of whack and lose their meaning altogether.

On the CPTDB wiki, it is mentioned on the page for the Series VIII coaches that 2840 was the final coach built to the classic design, in February 2015, though the numbering goes up to 2857. https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/GO_Transit_Series_VIII_Bilevel_cars Can anyone in the know shed some...

I see plenty enough of them, too, but I imagine there must be no small contingent of people who might be interested, but don't want to risk a fine.

I suspect we might see more use of the lanes if Toronto city council ever stops being afraid of their own shadows and allows e-scooters, too.

Yeah, if we take 745 cars (the largest quantity) and divide by 60, that gives us a whopping 12 cars per minute. There is no reason a one lane road shouldn't be able to handle cars in quantities like that.

Is there a particular city you have in mind that you think we should emulate? Our closest relation, New York, for example, has many bus lines that operate on top of streets that subways run under. Prague does the same thing, but with trams. If one looks at maps of transit out in the far flung...

You are aware that Wheel Trans has to be booked in advance, and Uber comes with an extortionate pricetag, right?

Well, most of those road users should be using transit in the first place, and leaving the roads open for the poor sobs from the suburbs who need to drive because their transit is a thousand times poorer than the one inside the city. At rush hour, there are really no time savings to think of...

I'm not a fan of 'nanny states', and I generally think that there is far too much emphasis on the illusion of safety in this country, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have any safety regulations at all. Especially ones that are as harmless as having separated bike lanes. The fact of the matter...

But doesn't Line 1's ATO system allow manual operations, too?

I would accept "The trains were not designed for this, they were designed to be a regular streetcar." as an argument if the cars in question were refurbished PCCs. Either this is misinformation (assume everything on Reddit is garbage unless otherwise indicated), or otherwise it says a lot of...

Averages are not supposed to take into account every single unique situation. They're supposed to give a general view and understanding of a problem. There's always going to be someone who doesn't fit into an average, but that doesn't mean averages aren't useful for setting policy.

Getting smaller? What? What do you allege is missing? The document you linked doesn't say anything has gone away - it even mentions that the ALRV is still a part of the collection. If the ALRV is not at Russell or Leslie, then the only other logical location for it to be is Hillcrest, which is...
