We can't have card/open payment as the only option in the GTA as long as Canadian banks are still charging per transaction. A basic account with Scotiabank still only allows 12 free transactions per month...and it's probably not much better for the other banks. The reason you see aggressively...

I worked for the Census in 2016 and let me assure you that surveyors in fact do this this. I spent a summer essentially processing all those extra units.

Toronto's version of the Waterloo & City line...the Water & City line?

It would be interesting for a new museum, maybe of the Toronto Portlands/industrial history? There are quite a few waterfront/port museums around the world. Or maybe a branch of an existing museum? ROM / AGO East? Thinking something similar to the V&A East.

Yes, odd they didn't go with the Bramalea Library. Lots of space and easy access....

New planning submission for the Bramalea Transit Terminal. File SPA-2022-0212. No documents yet but: The work consists of rehabilitation of Bramalea Transit Terminal for full depth reconstruction at the terminal for failed pavement for safe operation of transit buses and pedestrian access. The...

This is a search engine issue, and it's something the TTC can't control (I know, I work on a university site and we have ghost pages appear all the time). They have route pages, but Google is not picking them up, but still has the old one cached.

That is one hideous banquet hall design.

The city is planning for two Mixed Community Hubs (mix of recreation/school/library), that came out of the Brampton 2040 vision. General plans are here, and I've skimmed through some city minutes earlier this year that indicates they are actively working on the Shopper's World one.

It's been clarified that it's more than one station...but this is something Metrolinx should consider; other cities have done it before. The central Crossrail tunnel here in London opened without the key interchange at Bond Street which is opening in late October, four months after the line opened.

This post from Steven Munro way back in 2009 implies the original funding announcement was to take it east to Don Mills Road and then south to Don Mills Station on Line 4.

I can't remember how popular the 185 was but the 18 Dixie has consistently been overcapacity for years now, particular south of Queen towards the industrial areas and it honestly feel like it and 7 Kennedy, which both have massive ridership from working class people in employment areas have been...

I worked in the TTC Customer Service Centre for a year. The route supervisors are watching; the fault is that operators don't listen and basically ignore any edicts from management. We'd have repeat cases from riders, for example, of issues on the cross-border routes where the supervisors and...

As someone from the GTA who currently lives in London and has for the past four years, all I will say is nearly every British person I've met here that has been to Toronto really enjoys it and would love to go back to visit, or they've heard good things and are planning to go one day. And on...

Because it's meant to support several routes, some of which will branch off the Transitway to serve various destinations, town centres, etc.

It looks similar to what my Starbucks app in the UK does. I wonder if this is to support more things like PRESTO Perks or better capping.

Seemingly, they've already started testing the LRVs on a bit track? Link

Interesting that they've chosen a dual fare system, similar to London's fare system. Yes, London famously has nine zones but that only applies to rail (Tube, Crossrail, DLR, Overground, Trams); there is a different structure for buses.

Never heard of this ranking. The main rankings that universities care about are QS and Times Higher Education. I can't login into THE account at the moment, but QS has Toronto Metropolitan as 800-1000 overall, and then between being in the top 101 to 520 depending on subjects (Art & Design, TMU...

I work for a business school at a London university. The school is relatively new, but they made the deliberate note to not launch with an MBA. Regardless of not offering one, we get TONS of questions asking about our MBA because people expect it of an older university; the problem is that most...
