Wheelchair seats are also useful to stow away luggage under the seats on the T1s on the way to Kipling, and possibly the airport

So, is there a chance of overlapping bus service, seeing as there will always be people needing transit in between stops, and its not going to be nice having to go that far in the winter

Isn't most of the Richview corridor pretty much sold off or am I missing something?

It's still a temporary "LRT to the airport VIA GO vehicle until another mayor will come up with a plan to extend the ECLRT to the airport and not stop it at the dead end of a highway

Express service is a bit iffy, since the last time Finch was noticed, it was just a 36F local to the Weston and Steeles area being planned

It would be somewhat illegal for MT to build deep into Toronto, as there is a law somewhere that makes TTC the monopoly. But then again, they could make it work, just that they would have to make the fare higher than TTC, and most to all revenue will go to the TTC seeing how going east of...

Shouldn't Finch be in median/ Hydro corridor if there is any sort of substantial BRT construction, since it is getting an LRT somewhere in the future, but its best to rip and redo with a new ROW, followed by adding rails and utilities, than widen, followed by a rip, redo with a new ROW, and...

I believe we got the longer subway cars in Toronto than in New York, and the only line getting 10 cars first will be the YUS

For the first problem, I can give you a vague depiction of an unloading stop compared to its regular counterpart. Some stops need stickers slapped on since there are already some near + farside stops. For the second problem, it may be the fault of the rider that doors don't wait forever for...

The same or faster, but it will be inaccurate because I believe there is a 1km difference between Jane and Black Creek Drive, and the fact that the entire ECLRT will be underground excluding Kennedy and onwards. I heard somewhere that since the Mark I trains were so loud that there had to be a...

I wonder if the TTC hasn't experimented with a near side stop dedicated for unloading passengers only at a red light, and a far side stop for loading and if the bus went through a green, unloading also. It can have some sort of improvement of efficiency during rush hour periods when buses come...

Wasn't it somewhere on the sheppard extension thread that building a subway to nowhere causes development to skyrocket? Is Toronto/Vaughan such an exception?

I find it ironic how Bay is about the only route downtown that uses buses excluding the premium express buses. I guess one point in time, there was a streetcar line.

Now the Subways are going to be the equivalent to the Orions on the roads. T1s being the Original, and the TRs the NG

The GM ones were just demos, they bought the Euro-American Orion III for actual use. And I agree with you on TTC lowering really high standards, as the fishbowl was no stainless steel bus, yet it lasts 40+ years and counting

If the TTC chose the GM artics, we might of had more artics today, but Orion III is the main reason

That will end up as a big news story about how locals are pissed off that they have to wait in the sun or in the freezing winter, the train is delayed, and that train bypasses their station since its express (this applies to the stations that are outside). Almost as controversial as transit...

You got yourself wrong. SRT was originally designed for a high speed streetcar line, or what is now known as LRT, so LRVs should handle the curve no problem

Waterfront using TTC gauge, since imo, anything rail south of Bloor that is not commuter should be compatible with the current streetcar system for detour and route flexibility purposes

Congratulations Pro HRT people, your cries of HRT and underground LRT sure has gotten you your prize, but guess what? THE WEST END HAS JUST LOST except for a small bit of Eglinton, and Sheppard West. Scarborough has been pampered and you even cry for full out HRT to STC. Why is it that the...
