    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I don't see a Hamilton to Cambridge service via Brantford would have any value for those going from Cambridge to Hamilton. Maybe just Brantford to Cambridge (to Guelph?). How would it compete with the current service.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    They discuss Route 15 (Brantford to Aldershot). If it is indeed a stop of that route (a bit of the detour off the 403), there's 14 runs a day. But it would probably extend the 60-minute route from Brantford to well over 100 minutes. So I'd assume a separate branch that would run 3-4 times a...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    So the whole Pearson Union station and new hub east of Airport Road is dead then by the look of it. Or at least pushed off well into the 2040s or 2050s. So where is Line 5 going to come in? Hopefully there's a way to integrate it into that new extension.

    Transit Ridership Statistics & Tracking

    LOL! I guess they are screwed in 2025 and 2026 then. Oh well, perhaps Poilievre will increase the limits and save them.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    You say no hyperbole - but then you do it again. The first 20-km has zero traffic lights. There's a 6.5 km section with traffic lights. So how much is that 6.5 km section costing compared to the other 20.5 km? (and if they hadn't have put that stupid light at Leslie, there'd be only 5 km with...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    It would be primarily for drivers and Line 6 I'd think. If there's no parking lot, and not Line 6, there's no point.

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    I found myself standing under these signs today, so I took a close look. The larger signs are absolutely the new ones - you can see from the mounting hardware, that it's all brand new (left), while the old sign hardware looks ancient (right). But it looks to me like they signs themselves may be...

    Montréal Transit Developments

    I saw them using the floor scrubber thing at Spadina station today - about 12 noon. Not only that, but at the other end of the area, there was another person with a mop and bucket! I thought I had a photo, but someone stepped in front, so there's not much to see. Probably a lot more frequent on...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Is it more efficient, if it's lead to a larger diameter tunnel? The diameter of the Ontario Line TBM is about 7 metres (a cross-sectional area of 38.5 m²), while the cross-sectional area of the Line 1 extension to Vaughan was 6.12 metres (a cross-sectional area of 29.4 m². That increases the...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    It's certainly well used, as part of the subway station. The elevator to the subway platform is just behind those doors. Here's the view from the other side.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Ah, kind of like when MTO (or MTC back then) built the extra-wide section of 8 at Wellington in the 1960s, so they could build the intersection for new 7 ... still waiting after about 60 years.

    Montréal Transit Developments

    The green/orange intersection and hallways around it are certainly impressive - and with the open platforms to the mezzanine, so open different than the Bloor-Yonge disaster. Ah, the long hours I got to spend at Berri-De Montigny staring at those wall while queuing in those corridors in high...

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Wow. I moved to KW back in the mid-1980s when they were building the expressway section of highway 8 from the Grand to the 401. At the time the rest of the interchange - and the extension of expressway 8 to form a by-pass highway around Cambridge on the west side of the Grand to Galt was always...

    Montréal Transit Developments

    Are subway speeds that slow on the subway compared to the metro? Seemed similar to me in the central area - with Toronto gaining an advantage in the suburbs, with the less frequent stations. In many ways, they are quite similar, both with some small advantages and disadvantages. I wouldn't...

    I'm surprised you'd never have seen that in Toronto. Perhaps it's a time of day thing?

    Glen Road Pedestrian Bridge (Morley Callaghan Bridge)

    I'd be very surprised if many of their workers get paid for this "vacation". Though management surely does.
