Has the TTC or Metrolinx ordered vehicles for TC yet? With an operational date of 2013, I would hope so since the vehicles normally take 2-3 years to complete?

There sure is... http://www.trha.ca/. Wychwood barns would have been a nice spot.

Clinton didn't, and he held a slightly more powerful position. Not to mention he was in wedlock, whereas Adam isn't.

Regardless... wouldn't the stations remain the way they are, and still require elevators to get to the platforms?

Patents are anywhere from $200 - $30,000, and the plan is to submit up to 15 of them? I also enjoy the quotes added into her previous post; "top" management - i.e. not really the top management and "ultimate efficiency" - i.e. it's not really efficient.

Think of the rainbow bridge along the DVP. The city eventually got tired of repainting that every time someone repainted the rainbow, and now it's considered an icon by many parkway users.

Ever been to Thunder Bay yourself picard? The bus system up here uses mainly Novas and some Orions - 49 buses, 17 routes, 90% of the population within 400 metres of a bus stop. A ridership of 3.1 million in 2007 also. I guess somebody must use the system. In RE to WK, there is a special...

I think it's because people like to celebrate a holiday that's been modified into an excuse to drink excessive amounts of alcohol.

I think this is what LI Mike was initially referring to: http://www.wheels.ca/article/25436 The list includes: Mercury 114 Mercury Meteor Mercury Niagara Mercury Rideau and the Mercury Frontenac.

For those interested, Google Streetview has expanded country-wide now: Here is the Bombardier Plant in Thunder Bay. http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&layer=c&cbll=48.356911,-89.300664&panoid=2S05FlW7n38su_UCIWQNyQ&cbp=12,338.39,,0,-1.3&ll=48.356912,-89.300437&spn=0,359.986063&z=17

Wow, that is quite the fugly tower. The side buildings look terrible. Reminiscent of a garbage dump to me. Quite phallic also.

The options in the poll presented really give polar opposites i.e. TTC vs. SOS. I would have voted for a mid-option as obviously some corridors that need a subway, but some that are better represented by LRT.

Nope, there was only four cars. There was a crew moving them, so it may appear as if more vehicles were present.

Looks like prettyflamingo has been busy on the redflag forum also: http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/toronto-star-now-wants-extra-50-cents-their-starweek-tv-guide-851691/, and as expected, it's getting the exact same reaction as on UT.

Fifty cents is quite a bargain. For that price, all you have to do is look on your doorstep or mail box, and there it is. If you prefer the alternative print guide, you can travel to the nearest convenience store and purchase TV Guide magazine for a price much more than 50 cents I'd assume...

Isn't StarWeek and printed TV guides in general becoming redundant? Most people have access to something called the internet which allows you to do glorious things, such as look up online TV guides which saves a lot of paper. Not to mention TV Guides that are accessible when subscribing to...

Bummer. I thought it was hell on the metro when I visited last summer without any AC. I suppose as long as the cars are well ventilated the cool air in the tunnels can continue to do the job.

Hasn't the STM always sort of been modeled after the Paris Metro? All in all, let's hope that decide to include A/C in these cars.

The STM has posted the Request for Tenders document for their new subway, which has been linked in the Montreal Metro New Stock - MR-08 thread, the penalties section states: I haven't been able to find any documents from the TTC pertaining to penalties for late delivery, and we do know that...

It's an abandoned rail corridor (CNoR) not a hydro corridor ;)
