One of the only things that went right around the launch of the Confederation Line is that they kept the parallel bus services running for a few weeks after the line opened. This meant that, if things really went sideways, they could shut the line down without having to scramble a bunch of...

You don't need fare enforcement officers in places that small. If you misbehave, the driver will just tell your mom.

You run it east of the Rideau Canal locks, under the Plaza Bridge, and straight through the Senate chamber.

The way people carry on about this map, I'm starting to think the easiest solution is to leave the map exactly as it is and just move Finch and Yonge four blocks south so it matches.

I wonder whether the GTAA is still keeping a candle in the window for their Pearson intermodal hub plan. Certainly I don't think that plan would fly if they could only offer 15-minute headways to Union. The pandemic presumably killed the momentum behind it, and it gets harder to thread it into...

If they start translating station names, we end up with delights such as: Parc de la Reine Musée Moulin ancien UTM (which, confusingly, would be nowhere near UTM) Rue principale Village des pionniers Château-François Haut-parc Quai de la Reine And, of course, Dupont In practice, they get left...
