Delusional people.

This seems like a good idea to dispel my sense that if ML were to resell unchanged, expropriated properties for a profit, that ithat would constitute a form of corruption.

Venezolana isn't too expensive and the arepas taste great! Jersey Mike's is like a step above Subway, which isn't saying much.

In my opinion, you're right on the money. GO was crude when they started the expansion program, and years later, it's still crude. Services are nowhere near turn up and go, and even when they do achieve 30-minute all-day service on a line, there are numerous exceptions. I hope that with all the...

Reposting my question from right before the thread got derailed, in case it got lost amongst the catfight: anyone know whether the TBM launch/re-excavation site will be at Pape south or Pape north?

Does anyone have confirmation whether the TBM excavation/re-launch site at Pape Station will be at the north or south site?

Yes, it sounds like the floor space survey is excluding the basement from the GLA (and it is pretty tough to get a basement included, unless it has the same flooring as the main floors, legal ceiling height, additional egress, etc.) I am wondering whether ML typically calculates all of the...

Excellent idea and given how little interlining and how few stations there will be through the area from GO expansion, still sorely-needed for the west end.

You can disagree with someone's post but that's a bit much, dude.

Good point. And that's why so many riders opt to catch it from Parc, rather than winding through the west. I think it's a shame that the MR tunnel won't be available for intercity trains. Imho the MR tunnel section of the REM will create what will be Canada's first "big" metro network, with...

The REM hasn't replaced the DM EXO line yet. Opening of the branch that replaces it has been delayed to next year.

I think I remember Metrolinx stating an average speed of 28km/h for Line 5, which wouldn't be too bad. But still somewhat slower than Line 2, and a lot slower than Montreal metro/REM or Vancouver Skytrain, for comparison's sake.

Good point. One good thing about Line 5 however is that it will at least have enough capacity to handle increases over the projected initial ridership for some time. The Ontario line should further relieve congestion on the eastern segment too.

What's been promised is a "rapid transit" line (source: https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projects-and-programs/eglinton-crosstown-lrt ). I think the aggregate of test videos shows a fairly slow operating speed, and that is the only evidence we have so far. Anything else is just hopeful speculation...

There have been so many test videos to date showing line 5 being operated like a streetcar on the surface section that it's hard to believe it will run at a speed most riders would consider rapid. Why the LRT doesn't appear to be running anywhere close to the speed limit is confusing to me. But...

Because anything is possible when you use your imagination!

It's almost definitely going to run slowly, based on the test videos. My guess is that it'll be run like the streetcar, and even with the ROW, the operator will still randomly hit the brakes every so often lest the LRT exceed 22 km/h.

If so, the connecting bus routes should be rerouted to nearby stations as much as possible.

Probably right, though the tweet mentions "subway tunnel work". They are still far from starting underpinning though.

I wonder what sort of work they'll be doing on the tunnel this weekend.
