Nor, any guarantee that council would pass a motion to even alter transit city's funded and under construction parts..

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. Come on, haven't you guys read your Star Trek?

Can somebody submit these maps (especially the last one by SUperman) to Metrolinx or GO, so that they can see how their system map SHOULD be.. and maybe they'd even contract some of this work out to you guys to get a proper, professional, clean, concise looking map. Their mickey-mouse map they...

I hope that its clear that we supporters and advocates of the funded transit plans are not because we are pro-lrt and anti subway. I think its safe to say the majority of us, have been starved for better transit coverage for so long, and have seen plans, designs and funding come and go, start...

Don't know why everyone's celebrating (or thinking) transit city's cancelation: 1) the funded projects haven't been cancelled and are still underway 2) its a long road and upward battle to get them cancelled at this point (past council approval, then metrolinx then province) 3) if it gets past...

Oh Well.

My mistake, I was thinking of the legacy replacement cars. I do recall now that some of the candidates did make a bit of a stink about the TC line cars being ordered. I think it was Rossi.

These were in the works and ordered 2 years ago, before any of the candidates were running. They did, however, ask to slow down the bike lanes on Jarvis and University.

Ya, thats not a bad thing! I was just saying, they are similar.

re: Motnreal cars: The first prototype train will arrive in June 2013, followed by the base order deliveries that are scheduled to take place between February 2014 and September 2018. Does this timeline seem a bit faster than our own TRs? I suppose they could have similar delays and issues too.

They resemble our new streetcars. Probably with similar capacity too, i'd think?

No, this is not accurate. While they will use new LRVs, the differences from the downtown mixed traffic ones are: 1.they will allow for all door loading (enter at any of the 3 doors) 2.they will run in their owndedicated Right Of Way (eglinton runs underground for 12 km in city center)...

The street cars won't be removed. Council won't approve it, and Ford has even mentioned he wouldn't force the issue if he couldn't get out of the street car contract.

There is a tangible plan in place and underway. Changing it now would result in same outcomes as past government change overs = getting nothing. Do we at least all agree on that?

Well its true, you have the downtowners who mostly want the place to be NYC, Paris, London, HK or even Chicago.. and then you have the growing suburbs and 905 who don't care at all about that stuff and just want their 2 car garage, front and back lawn and a home depot/walmart to drive to on...

Well, maybe Ford won't be all that bad.. I'm hoping not.. I really do want the Eglinton line to continue, because I plan on moving back here in 4 - 6 years and was hoping it would be well underway. (and would like to live in the Y&E area again)

Well, nfitz, your election predictions were wayyyyyy off.. so, there's a very likely chance you are wrong here too.. 1.44 billion is too much for even Ford to piss away. You're also assuming he gives a sh*t about this.. and there's little evidence that he does.

In January, to London UK, for you see, as an Liberal Elite living downtown, my job is quite high paying and affords me the luxuires of being able to pick up and leave onto greener pastures. But... i'll keep my eye on Toronto and see how it changes.. I can always come back if it gets its act...

Really? You got a strong ssense of Transit from Ford's campaign? I looked for it in each debate and release, and I didn't see it much.. only when some people forced the topic on him, did he say anything. He didn't even mention it tonight. Lafard has this one pegged. People don't want to spend...

No, because as Lafard stated, tonight's election shows that people actually don't give a sh*t about transit, because nothing Ford is offering up is worth anything. Tonight, has actually shown that the Car is still king in Toronto, and will continue to be... SO, in conclusion, there will be no...
