He's right as a Scarborough resident. A lot of the Express busses would only start or end at STC, so anyone east of STC wouldn't get express service. I specifically remember leaving Fairview mall and having to decide do I take the 85 or the 85Express to STC in order to get to morningside. I...

Isn't STC station going to be on the right side of McCowan, the RT corridor is useless if I'm not mistaken, I'm unaware of where the rail corridors to get back to Markham, where is that located ? Extending a subway out to a Morningside seems hella expensive when an LRT will suffice & will be...

As someone who lives east of McCowan on Lawrence, I still prefer the line to stay on McCowan, or the 2A route. It's 6 stops to get to STC with 1 transfer. 2b is still 6 stops with no transfer 2A has the provision to continue east along Sheppard with EELRT Extending 2B becomes even more difficult

I'm pretty sure you have that backwards

Yes, without the word maintain as well, you're being disingenuous to the reader.

Yes I was talking with EELRT in planned. I'm not oppose to a linear transfer, I find it as a tradeoff for dollars saved somewhere. Yes I guess the EELRT could go to Agincourt, that makes sense. I'm more infatuated with the crosstown approach. 2 straight lines from Morningside & Sheppard to...

If you're going past STC further east into Scarborough, you gotta terminate at STC, transfer to line 2 to MCcowan n Sheppard and then continue east along Sheppard. That is extremely lame

We can add a 3rd car to each trainset & the stations were built with that in mind. Doesn't that help capacity issue if one arises?

Yeah that is interesting, I'm not sure what that is supposed to look like. They're not going to have this running down the middle of Sheppard like a LRT.

If this line is going to mostly elevated/at grade, that bodes well for speed/timeframe in construction.

No, most E/W along the Northern Scarborough are going to Fairview or somewhere in North York, or are trying to get to school at York/Pioneer village. I understand if your coming from the west of Sheppard you're probably going to STC, but for those ppl 1 stop transfer is not the end of the...

If you are coming from east of McCowan, then having the Terminus at the STC defeats the whole crosstown connectivity. If you are coming from the west of Sheppard, STC might not be your final destination, therefore a one stop transfer to STC isn't all that dreadful to you. If you are coming from...

Exactly, 2B really screws over the eastern side of McCowan

Again I'm on the side of 2A, I think the option out to morningside was just add 4 options. Send this to McCown n Sheppard, have the EELRT meet it on the other side. Then you have a crosstown line from Morningside all the way to Sheppard West, with 1 transfer at McCowan.

Or maybe get rid of the parking lot & make better use of it, you can save the attitude too cool guy

My initial statement was a linear transfer from a bus to another form a rapid transit. That makes little sense, and it appears the city is trying to rectify that. Ofcourse Busses & subways/let stops go hand in hand, that's partly why our busy network is so strong, they feed into Rapid transit...

Well the first one is crossing municipalities, that's understandable to me.... The city is in the planning stages of the EELRT to solve that issue I'm not familiar with downsview & Dufferin area Again, the EELRT will solve that one The Ontario line north extension would solve that as well. A...

Who switches to a bus that travels in the same direction ?

So do they have to do the lidar testing and track grinding on this line as well, or is that something exclusive to the crosstown line?

So did I listen to this correctly. What looked to be a small segment of new dedicated freight tracks would open up an vast amount of existing freight tracks for GO only purposes?
