    Improving GTHA Transit via Tech (Apps, Maps, Real-Time Traffic & Transit ETAs)

    One of the things I saw today in Milan was on their subways there are video screens in each car with the previous, current and next stations listed, and underneath each station name it has details for that station (which bus/subway/streetcar connections are available, intersecting streets, and...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    I am proposing we use the following as a symbol for the island airport: Those symbols should point to the bus stop outside union...and the streetcar station in Union, what I am going to call the DOWN Express (509)

    Streetcar and light rail signals

    Guys, I don't think the problem is with the GPS receivers, which are fairly standardized these days...but the transmission of the GPS data from the streetcar to Nextbus, which happens every 30 seconds...and hence the accuracy of where the vehicle is while it may be correct when reported, is then...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I've always wondered if there are any streetcar lines in the world that have express/local service running on same route either by double tracking or with splits (so a vehicle can pull to the curb and let people out while another car passes it). I always think during rush-hour it would be...

    PATH Network Expansion (various, various, various)

    http://www.blogto.com/city/2015/03/new_3d_map_makes_it_easier_to_navigate_the_path/ This is an interesting development, there is definitely some work still to be done on this one - bloor&young/college along with the Ryerson stuff...but this is definitely useful for trying to figure out what...

    PATH Network Expansion (various, various, various)

    It's too bad the city doesn't include the bloor area, it's fairly substantial, and will be more so once the two buildings at bloor/young are done. There are some other items that would be nice if they could include in the official map: 1. Food courts/bathrooms 2. Accessibility (elevator...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    When they start coming, they will start coming fast it sounds like...I wonder if the TTC will be ready with the on-street improvements...do we know where they are with cutouts, overhead and presto installations for the next route? Bathurst? I am assuming that not much will be done this summer...

    Toronto The One | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

    I doubt there will be much appetite for holding up a billion dollars in investment for something that can't really be changed at this point, even less for a personal vendetta from a local councillor...realizing that most of the money here is not coming from Mizrahi but pension funds and the...

    PATH Network Expansion (various, various, various)

    Might also be useful to add some parts of Ryerson which are linked up, but I don't think there are any official links yet....although I would assume that the new SLC will be connected to whatever goes in south of it and connect up to the AMC building...

    PATH Network Expansion (various, various, various)

    I believe there is a connection under cumberland st, from cumberland terrace to the building/parking structure on the north side of cumberland (north from the food court). I would imagine it is only a matter of time before the four seasons gets a link through that parking structure (when it is...

    PATH Network Expansion (various, various, various)

    This image is missing the connections up on bloor between the subway and manulife centre...as well as the future connections to 1 bloor east/west...I guess not technically part of PATH, but definitely it makes sense that it rebranded as such (and you should add them to your map!).

    Toronto The One | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

    Please tell me that Hudson Bay is moving across the street so that their horrible building can be redeveloped....7 stories would fit the ticket...and there is no doubt in my mind that moving would be better in terms of image than anything they could do with their current building...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    What's the holdup on this anyways, we already have vehicles ordered....Ontario needs to pull the trigger on this before we get too close to the election and Crombie decides she wants a subway as well... Honestly there is enough design done on this to announce the funding and start some of the...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Has there been any explanation on what the streetcar/bus rollout is going to look like (I assume they are going line-by-line), and when it will start? Will they be putting transfer machines on busses/streetcars for the migration? Or will the bus system rollout all at once and only streetcars get...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    So, looks like 4405 was put on a train, has it arrived yet? Also, taking bets for 4406 - I'm going to go with after the pan-am games...maybe October 3rd...

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I wonder what contingencies will need to be made for vehicles if Bombardier isn't able to get them all done in time... It hasn't been much of a problem with the TTC because they are replacing vehicles that can just be kept around longer...but not having vehicles at the end of a 10 year...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Few things I'd add... The debt ceiling is linked to income, and as income increases so does debt ceiling...so over time inflation generally increases the debt ceiling anyways (assuming taxes increase at the rate of inflation)... Almost all of the types of capital expenditures that we are...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Sure there is, interest rates are low, so you should be taking out debt if you have a plan to do so...if you get $20 a month to buy groceries and one week everything is on sale - even if they are out of toilet paper you spend your full $20, you buy some cans of soup. You don't just spend $15...
