But the LRT would deliver much more attractive and reliable service than the current Zum line. Currently we have express GO buses that go to and from each GO train station and Union but people obviously want all day train service because the train is a much more attractive and reliable service...

I know jack squat about transit planning so I feel a little uncomfortable making this statement, but that doesn't seem like a good reason to not have a full route. They may not be able to get every other bus to Queen and Steeles West but they should be able to set up a system where a short turn...

im pretty dissappointed with all the Brampton folks here saying they dont want the LRT. I live in the Bramalea area and the LRT would mostly be useless to me and definately all-day GO train service would be better for me but from what I can see, having the LRT expand to Brampton GO, we gain a...

I'm not too familiar with the area but from the conversation Im seeing here I thought I could put a few comments in here. Though I like the idea of a Sheppard East/Finch West crosstown route, it appears this would mean core areas on Finch and core areas on Sheppard maybe missed out depending on...

I birefly looked over the document -- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FINDING THIS -- and it looks like they are planning on making Zum Queen West and Zum Steeles West into their own routes. What's the point of that? If they want to have lower frequencies on the Western branches then they could just...

That was my fear. It seems like the only logical move after going ahead with LRT but Im sure there are alot of people who will only see that the subway is being replaced with LRT and be up in arms. Lol, thanks TheTigerMaster :) Im glad that this isnt just a crazy thought in the back of my...

I read your blog and thought it was pretty insightful. I also think it would make sense and probably save money to run the Highway 7 rapidway down Centre St down to Yonge and then go north to RHC. This would give people in Vaughan an alternative to the (after the Spadina extension is complete)...

If the Sheppard East LRT goes ahead as planned, would it make sense to re do the remaing parts of the Sheppard subway into LRT and then extend that LRT west to Downsview? Im sure this sounds ridiculous but I think I would prefer a seamless rapid transit link from the Spadina line to the Yonge...

If I was a Torontonian, I would much rather have my money go into expanding the Eglinton Crosstown to Pearson or having the Sheppard subway expand to Downsview than to have GO transit be cheaper. Go doesnt even offer all day, bidirectional service on most of its lines. Something that would be...

That's really not fair to the rest of the GTHA. Why should Toronto be able to pay local fares for the regional transit system when people elsewhere can't. Toronto already has much better rapid local transit than the other cities. I think that rapid transit is the one that's really meant to serve...

Some one above proposed fare zones for the region which is great but it harms people who use services like Zum that go outside of a municipality. It also harms people who travel within the 905 because as of right now, the 905 (when local agencies are concerned) is like one big fare zone. I'll...

Some nice customer service improvements coming to Brampton Transit: http://www.brampton....de_May_2013.pdf New PRESTO upgrades starting June 3, 2013 • Brampton Period Pass users will be able to transfer onto other participating systems using the PRESTO card. • Automatic...

They may not need higher grade rapid transit everwhere, but in the suburbs, projects like Zum (which I would call lower grade rapid transit) are definately needed. The branding, the stations, the more comfortable bus, and the great frequencies, the more direct routing are driving people to...

I am happy to see the 15's midday frequency doubled. I feel like eventually the 11 and 51; 1 and 56; 5 and 35 would eventually be merged with their "companion" route when there is enough development. This should allow for further strengthening of our grid system. @TOareaFan, according to a...

According to the transfer policy on the Brampton Transit website transfers from TTC ("zone 3" punched transfers only) must be accepted by Brampton Transit drivers anywhere in Brampton. Now I do remember when I contacted Brampton when they got their new policy and asked them what the expiry time...
