ML communication should not be censored by Ford but if their excuse is that it is hurting ML reputation, it's a bit late for that.

I totally agree with you that bullying is not the best option. It is always better for parties to work together to reach common ground that works for everyone. Blackmail should be the last option BUT if push comes to shove and CN/CP are not willing to compromise or even engage in meaningful...

The whole point of blackmailing CN/CP with making them build hundreds of overpasses all over the country is that VIA wouldn't have to build any new track. The tracks are there, VIA just can't get their hands on one of them because Ottawa keeps sticking their ass in the air for CN/CP. The two...

Mid 2030s {realistically 2040} to bring back, after untold billions spent, VIA's plan is to bring back the speeds that we enjoyed in the 70s. Only in Canada would this be considered progress. The lines are there, the issue is political not financial. CN/CP unwillingness to share a corridor so...

Even forgetting the fact that ML was stupid enough not to build in light controlled U-Turn loops between stations, there is absolutely no reason why any of the trains should be making any stops for red lights. With today's technology they could easily make the system a traffic-light free one by...

See that Pearson will be opening Ontario's first hydrogen refueling station. That's great news as many airport/port are investing in hydrogen infrastructure for current needs where electric vehicles are either not available or are not practical. The best thing is that this will be a public...

Vancouver is not a city to marvel at when it comes to highways. It has no urban freeways which may sound nice on paper but in reality it has caused a lot of urban degradation. The transport trucks heading into the city and the port from the US border or Ferries has to take Knight Street which is...

Whatever they are doing, they better get their act in gear. This fare integration is suppose to be done by the end of the year and I think Ford will keep to that. The last thing he wants is yet another political noose around his neck transit delay ala Eglinton. Upgrading the software for...

The potential of hydrogen is truly limitless and it's development is crucial if we are to meet out climate goals. This Quebec service is small but potentially game changing as it allows North Americans to see the potential of hydrogen rail in the real world. The price of hydrogen and it's...

What surprised me was how close the race was. A huge percentage of votes are now done thru advanced polling and if Tory would have thrown his support behind Bailou BEFORE advanced polling, Chow may be out of a job. Now Chow is going to have to have a very hard talk with Torontonians that the...

That map isn't as far fetched as it may seem IF GO can take advantage of tram-trains or small battery/hydrogen EMUs.

Kind of stupid that Tory would support Bailiao AFTER advanced polling has already taken place.

GO shouldn't be any more than the TTC. Technology has absolutely nothing to do with your trip. You are going from A to B so who cares how you get there? You don't pay more for the subway than you do for the bus even though the subway is faster and more comfortable so why should it be any...

People may dislike Ford for numerous reasons but his policies on the transit file is definitely not one of them. As for fare integration he has already brought it in with GO for all of the 905 and not only from the jurisdiction the rider starts from but also where he/she ends. As for what the...

People love to bitch about Ford but on the transit file Ontarians, and especially Torontonians, have never had it so good. He is the best transit Premier Ontario has ever had. He is not only funding monstrous new projects but also has started to bring in fare integration. The Liberals had the...

^^^^ I totally agree. Only one person knows what the best option is for transit riders and that is the rider themselves. It shouldn't matter whether you take the streetcar, the bus, subway, LRT, or horse & buggy, the trip from A to B should be the same regardless of the technology. This would...

Gondolas can be excellent transit systems and in some cases absolutely revolutionary. The system in La Paz Bolivia, due' to it's incredibly steep hills, has brought reliable and fast transit to literally millions of people who had none before. It has had a huge positive impact on the city's...

Seeing QP now only has about 6 months left before fare integration, is there any word on when exactly it will be implemented and more importantly, what exactly it's suppose to look like? 6 months isn't much time to update all of Presto, fare machines, and let the public know ahead of time what...

Another advantage of a RER Mid-town service is that they serve 2 areas that have no rapid transit currently. Malvern , even aftyer Scar extension, will still have no easy access to rapid transit nor GO and Milton is the fastest growing city in Metro Toronto so demand from there will only...

This exactly right. Toronto had both the opportunity and money to build a true crosstown route but Miller wanted a rapid transit line that would still help Grandma get to local hair salon and he would also not entertain any form of transit that could not be automated as that would have cut into...
