Unless Bing suddenly decides to expand the bird's eye view, there's not going to be any dethroning anytime soon. Just like wiki, you can't trust the information you read! I'm surprised noone has drawn roads connecting New York to London, or from San Fran to Singapore. It's just another...

Bathurst does run ALRV's, but only during the CNE.

The Real McCoy's or Johnny's are both great and are pretty much Scarborough staples. I haven't had poutine at Johnny's, but the poutine at McCoy's is my favourite by far

I'm unsure as the why the SRT will have the loop. As stated before, the other LRT lines will just turn back, and so will the SRT at Sheppard..! One other thing of note is that the map shows the Eglinton Crosstown line extending North along the SRT corridor, possibly suggesting interlining

The new panels are up from the current set of meetings: http://www.toronto.ca/involved/projects/scarborough_rapid_transit/index.htm Somethings of note are: - Running 3-car LRT sets, (95 m instead of current 60 m) - Existing stations have to be expanded to accommodate the longer trains -...

For those interested, I've mapped the routes out: Etobicoke seems to be the hardest hit.

While we're at it, why not extend it all the way to the Holland River?

Agreed. There seems to be a new flavour of the week posted each week. This should at least be put in the "Rest of the Universe Discussion" as it is not a GTA transportation issue. There is something at Wonderland like this already. They call it Chopper Chase.

...isn't that the purpose of this project?

There was a proposal to build Skydome at Downsview... Ironically, it would have been the same distance from the subway as it currently is.

Here's a clip of the LED map system that's being used on the new MKII vehicles in Vancouver. Seeing how these vehicles were manufactured by Bombardier and assembled at the Thunder Bay plant, It's pretty safe to assume that this will be what the maps on the rocket will look like...

The Everline Rapid Transit System is set to open in July 2010, and the transit company has released the following video. I don't understand Korean myself, but the message of the video is quite clear. The vehicles were manufactured by Bombardier (Thunder Bay Plant). Enjoy...

Malta is a very tiny country, being 312 km^2, and it's split by two 2 main islands. Toronto has an area of 610 km^2. Malta's essentialy 1/2 the size of TO... it's not like he's comparing all of Russia to Toronto.

So... Munich metro area population = GTA population, therefore TTC rules the world?

Here's a streetcar map that's been floating around the Transit Toronto discussion board. Yes, there are a few mistakes, but it still is quite the amazing map. http://radikal.ru/F/s52.radikal.ru/i136/1001/08/6f457e2b01cf.png.html

There were 450 subway-related deaths last year?!

Pyeongchang... third time's a charm? They have tried for the 2010 (lost by 3 votes in round to Vancouver), 2014 (lost by 4 votes to Sochi) , and now 2018 olympics.

Weather is a big issue in Vancouver, and this likely is why they decided to keep the stadium fully enclosed for the Olympics. Also with an enclosed stadium, the producers were able to incorporate effects that would otherwise not be able to be used in an open stadium. The only real loss for...

Apparently counting total medals is a North American thing because it pretty much guarantees USA to be in the top spot. Of course, since the rest of the world realizes that 1st place is the only placing that matters... they do the counts by Golds. In 2008, China had nearly double the golds as...
