So you are contradicting your point about the necessity of adding "Yonge Line" to the sign? Again, we don't call it the Allen Line or the Jane Line. Wayfinding is a balance of information. We could add unnecessary clutter onto the sign to benefit only a tiny amount of trips on the Yonge side and...

Cedarvale will tell you something once people get used to it. It was okay when there wasn't an interchange station there, but Line 5 is going to open, and "Eglinton West" provides zero information for someone on Line 5. If Eglinton West remained as a station, a traveller on the Eglinton line...

I saw this video of the ION LRT getting aggressive signal priority, hitting greens at every intersection. The fact that VIVA does not have this kind of signal priority infuriates me - if the government was willing to inconvenience drivers a little, it would be trivially easy to speed up service...

From what I have seen, buses use a white transit vertical bar when they exit and enter the busway (even though the transit signal exists), which would mean additional hardware for all GO Transit routes that need to turn on/off the busway. Not sure if that is a YRT thing or a HTA thing. This...

The TTC already has a pretty decent design for bus screens, they just haven't gotten around to implementing it. And on the buses they have implemented the design on, they decided to go with a modified version with half the screen reserved for ads 😔 Unfortunately the TTCDesign account said there...

They are testing the lighting system, when they settle down and it stays on the TD green it will not look nearly as bad

That's the purpose of the T. The mode symbols are just additional wayfinding tools.

According to CTS Crosstown was 98% complete by May this year.

Considering that hydrogen takes more electricity to produce than it generates when used, absolutely. There is zero reason to create hydrogen, move it someplace, and then convert it back into electricity, at that point, just use a transmission line. The whole point of hydrogen is that it's for...

Unfortunately x.com links don't embed (thanks Elon) so here are the screenshots for the click-averse:

I wonder how the energy efficiency of these "freight EMUs" compares to traditional mile long trains with electric locos.

https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1003547/ontario-connecting-communities-and-spurring-economic-growth The government is going to give the TTC the ability to integrate fares between neighbouring systems, also giving municipalities new ways to collect funds for GO station construction.

Is that car parked in the bike lane?

From the SSE Newsletter:

It also seems silly to suggest that not grade separating would reduce costs. In the long run, you end up spending more on labour costs anyways.

It really shouldn't be that difficult to implement TSP so that trains don't get stuck waiting for red lights - if a train is actively waiting at an intersection, re-order the signal phases so that the straight-through phase goes first, and the left turning phase goes afterwards. Why does the...

highways don't break even? unless you toll highways it's impossible to break even. highways and trains are public services, they shouldn't be expected to be profitable/break even.

The issue is unless we are willing to install elevators in the rest of the stations by 2025, the line will be forced to shut down anyways.

It's funny considering how literally anything else within a 3-kilometre radius of this place is single-family homes apart from what little retail there is along Yonge. There are a couple of issues they have to fix if they don't want this place to be a car-centric hell. There is no bus service...
