    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    From that same source. TAP Portugal annouces that it will commence a five days per week service from Lisbon to Toronto starting in 2017 https://canadianaviationnews.wordpress.com/2016/12/06/tap-portugal-names-toronto-as-fifth-north-american-gateway/

    SmartTrack (Proposed)

    I dont. No one know how long the the maintence costs were going to be coverered for. All it takes is a change in govt, a slowing of economic growth and a resulting budgetary crunch for a provincing government to say, nope, its time to off load these cost. But when it come to one time capital...

    I saw a kiosk for Samsung in T3. Outside of security. I dont know if its the same one you are asking about. I also dont know is there is the same in T1.

    https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2016/10/23/korea-town-business-owners-concerned-about-bloor-bike-lanes-impact.html Here is an article saying pretty much everything that i have been saying in this thread about the impact of adding bike lanes on this stretch of road on the yonge and sheppard...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    When they do build Pier G, i hope that they extend the people mover to that area. Right now, you have a long walk to get to the far end of terminal 1 when you exit the people mover at that terminal because it stops at west end of the terminal. From what i can tell this should be a simple...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    I have presto. Appologise if this has been brought up here (its a long thread). but i have a question. I though that when i first got the card about eight months ago, the readers at the subway stations (at Union stn for example) would display the remaining balance when you tapped it. I seem...

    The Simple Solution to Traffic

    That's a good video. The main thing you want is traffic to flow. Cars need to move and if they dont, drivers get frustrated and make decisions that exacerbate the congestion problem through more and more stops and go's. Such as (as the video shows) changing lanes and driving too close to...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    One of the main reasons for looking at Mirabel as a hub (at that time) was that aircrafts didnt have the range that they do today. Montreal was the closest major north american centre to europe. So aircraft needed to use Montreal for re fueling. Today, they fly from the west coast of north...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    You can look at it another way. You can fly direct to every continent except Australia from Pearson. There are only a distinct few that can make that claim and its a huge benefit to TO. Last year, there was a big debate and media discussions in Montreal over how poorly served Quebec/ Montreal...

    Yes. But that the fact that there this many or that many south american ex pat living in canada or toronto does not necessarily make those route profitable or viable. Under a yield management model of pricing (as is the case with airfares and acommodation cost) whereby the price increases as...

    Does Toronto look to North America or elsewhere for inspiration for transit/infrastructure?

    It is silly to look to Europe for reference points for urban planning or transit. Canadian and american urban centres were built up over the past 200 years. Many european urban centres have 2000 years of history and were not built up but rather evolved to what they are today. Toronto is a city...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    What they are targeting or should be targeting is the european or latin american travelers who want to avoid the security hassels and red tape that US airports subject you to. There are a lot of people who hate or try to avoid as much as possible transiting through US airports when traveling...

    Sorry didnt see your post prior to my reply above. I ended up saying pretty much the same thing.

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    The airlines would have a say in that. And, they want their alliance partners in the same terminal. For example, all the star alliance partners are right now in terminal 1. Sky team and One world are for the most part in terminal 3. Hence for code sharing purposes this is the most...

    Yonge Street, North York Streetscape Improvements

    Ok, you dont know the area well. Try Kenneth ave, try Beecrofth ave, or even willowdale road. They are perfect for cycling and they are not out of the way at all. yonge street in North york is not suited for cycling and should not be because it's vital artery to access the 401. Which is...

    Yonge Street, North York Streetscape Improvements

    Because elected officials are elected to serve the people (their constituents). And, while many people own bikes, there are many more motorists. To go to work, for example, 80 percent of canadians use their car. The next bigegst means is public transit. Bike are nice and fun. But not when...

    Yonge Street, North York Streetscape Improvements

    Good for you. But unfortunately you are in the very very tiny minority of people who do their groceries shopping on bike. I dont see many bikes outside of any Loblaw's or Metro. I do see parking lots with cars and i do see people walking on sidewalks home or (in a few small cases) to the...

    Yonge Street, North York Streetscape Improvements

    And how do you propose doing that? There are a lot of businesses (like major retailers) in that stretch and parking is already at a premium. Businesses are already suffering due to the shortage of parking space. How can you keep, for example, a Best Buy viable in the area by restricting...

    Yonge Street, North York Streetscape Improvements

    Yes. It has the kind of volume that is not far off from what you might see on a freeway. I cant believe people in their right mind are even entertaining this idea. I cycle on weekends and i would not even consider for second using this stretch of road. Especially that area from the 401 to...
