As I stated, the Milton/Union line should still remain and especially for peak periods but the regular GO RER service should be a Mid-town corridor. Some of the best used lines in the world are by-pass and circular ones because they connect all the different rail corridors including those that...

If there was one single project that I think would be TRULY transformative it would be, by a long shot, is building the mid-town rail {CN, CP?} from Milton to Markham. After the current projects under construction, ML should put all of it's resources towards buying the corridor {and helping...

I see the reasoning behind PSD but I must admit that for older stations, I think the higher priority should be to make them 100% accessible. As for the PSD themselves, I don't like the ones like the UPX. I find the wall to ceiling ones very claustrophobic . I vastly prefer the ones that are...

Steve X.....................what part of "when considering Calgary's population" didn't you understand? Of course it's not as good as the transit in Toronto because the GTA has 6X Calgary's population. As I originally stated, one cannot compare the streetcars Toronto is building with the Light...

^^^^. I agree and that exemplifies how incredibly successful CT has been. Just look at those figures you posted. Calgary has higher ridership than much bigger and much older Philly, Boston, Wash, and SF. It has the same ridership levels as Vancouver despite only serving a population half it's...

Don't bring poor Calgary into this equation. Yes, Calgary has Light Rail Transit but quite unlike Eglinton & Finch, it is also Light RAPID Transit. Calgary's CTrain uses old rail corridors, highway medians, overpasses, rail crossing guards, and 100% signal priority and the result is that it is...

It does look like it's Chows election to lose so don't expect any new even mildly controversial comments or priorities from her. During elections where there is a clear leader they tend to say as little as possible hoping they can use cruise control to take them over the line and it usually...

Couple interesting notes about their platform about Corridor services...........they say HSR and not HFR and they state the service would be a Windsor to Quebec City route, hence including SWO.

I should have been more precise in the way I worded service to St.Thomas. The BRT is going to Exeter Road which is just north of the 401. After that bus-only lanes will not be required to get to St.Thomas and, as noted, should be express buses with, for example, with every 4th bus going to ST...

Who can blame them? VIA has had half a century to do something with this tunnel and make the service to Ott/Tor and actual appealing one. Why should Montrealers have to accept less frequent service and with more expensive operational costs just to appease VIA? Remember this is just another...

Megabus has just stated that it is going double the number of services between London to Toronto with 18 departures per day from London. There are also 2 other major carriers between the 2 cities. Yet more passengers VIA is not going to get due to it's infrequent and slow service between the 2...

No it won't. Yes it will be the tallest tower in the city but won't stand out any more than FCP does in Toronto. Downtown London has a plethora of towers in the 20 to 30 story range and two other 30 story towers be completed by the summer. There are 2 other 40 story proposals one of which is...

Now with the massive Volkswagen plant a go, the need for good transit service between London and St.Thomas is a bigger issue than ever. London is rebuilding it's manufacturing base faster than any other city in the country and nearly all of it is south of the 401 where transit service is...

But the burning question is Labour Day of what year?

I rarely come to this thread because, well, what's the point? I'll check back in a year from now to see how construction is coming along.

Isn't that like saying there should be enough workers to drive to downtown so we shouldn't bother building the OL? I thought the whole purpose of expanding transit was to make sure that people DON'T have to rely on a car to get around and to make sure that people of all socio-economic and...

Wow, they are really getting a move on with the Wellington Gateway line. As for extending the Wellington BRT to serve Amazon, I was not talking every bus but rather something along the lines of running every 4th bus past White Oaks to serve the Amazon area and go right into downtown St.Thomas...

The devil will be in the details and I think the TBOT's proposal is the best but no manner which way you cut it, this is nothing but good news for Torontonians both in the 416 & 905. Hopefully, if not the TBOT proposal, they will shrink many of the fares in the inner city fares to be the same as...

Winning your local seat and winning a city-wide election have little to do with each other. A left-wing councilor winning a left-wing seat is hardly an accomplishment. That's like a Tory getting ecstatic because she/he won their seat in rural Alberta. Winning in Vegreville doesn't mean you will...

Tolling and burying the remaining part of the Gardiner would be a lot more politically palatable if they felt the City was offering them a viable option but that is not the case right now. Even after new inner city stations and higher service, GO will still be a primarily longer distance service...
