It will take 5 to 15 seconds per tap for transaction to go through, slowing down boarding and station entry. No way for children and people with low credit scores to use the integrated payment method. People at their credit limit can’t travel home. Need to pay credit card companies to collect...

We can do it if we had the same transit network as Madrid. But we don’t. So don’t blame the drivers, blame our decision making process.

I recommend you get to know the area a bit more before making such comments. Concord Park place is a development that's happening and the presence of the subway line is a material driver. Most developments that are currently happening east of Bayview Village and south of Sheppard are all closer...

Bessarion was a station built to incent development in the area. The property taxes of collected from the resulting condo towers more than offset the cost of that station in the long run. It just look bad now. But as mentioned above, its not a large investment in the grand scheme by any means.

Or perhaps car drivers should pay less gas/license taxes and that transit users should pay for the true cost of public transit. Imagine if transit users had fund their own capital construction costs. Congestion only happens when everyone tries to go to the same place. Businesses can always be...

Once this project goes ahead. The development potential of the strip along Yonge St drops significantly as the site will be too shallow for many large scale buildings.

Curved windowed wall glazing makes horrible unit designs. These will be balcony only I suspect. All the retails along Yonge Street now have that horrible sinking feeling that their property value just dropped.

although I'm not sure what will actually terminate at Lawrence and/or York Mills. IMHO we should really save some money do without the bus bays.

It’ll be called Line 7

interesting to see Scarborough finally getting some developments. That entire region was almost completely left out of the condo boom.

We should just upgrade the thing to Bombardier Mark 3 trains and save a couple of billion dollars.

800 is above ground per TTC study for LRTs. Under ground stops out side of be downtown four hadn’t been 800 meters for a long time.

Viva's usage is relatively low, and high station frequency is a good way of increasing ridership due to added convenience. Optimal station spacing is 800, however the current 500-600m spacing is optimal given Markham's realities.

If they build Yonge North. DRL will need to wait another 10 years after YN is done. Also what DT residents don’t realize is that the Subway is full from Eglinton, not Bloor. The DRL will solve some issues, but it will not solve capacity issues on the Yonge line.

The Liberal government need that corridor for RER, and John Tory need the same space for Smart Trek. The need to replace the RT with a subway wasn't always about Scarborough, certain people needed the space to be freed up to push for their own agendas. Otherwise there would be no need to...

In this case, the reason to take over subway building is to build the Yonge North Extension. The PCs know that left to the city this project will not be built anytime within the next 30 years, so they have to take over in order to deliver this to their base. Those of you folks dreaming of the...

that logic doesn't make sense. law is law, doesn't matter what you're piloting or how much potential harm you could cause. if you want to talk about tonnage then the same logic should be given to the ability to stop. In this case, the vehicle with the least ability to stop gets the right of way...

Removing infrastructure at a time where we are struggling to build new ones is undesirable. If we are keen to redevelop the area around the gardiner, we can wait until the public transit infrastructure is in place before it happens. The Gardiner discussion should happen after the RER on...

I don’t believe there would be a material ridership increase this quickly. However we could measure average waiting time per passanger to gauge potential benefits.

SRT can you please stop. I want to come into this forum to read about information and facts, the negativity really is unnecessary. It's been 8 years since you started bashing Bazis, you have made your point.
