I use a separate app called GOToronto (for iPhone or iPad). It quickly displays the schedule between any two points for the entire day with fare prices and has a quick link to the Union departure board as well.

But Phil Verster is on record as of a few months ago claiming that Metrolinx couldn't get the additional track time from CN for more service. Reference to "trying to drive across the neighbours' land and the neighbour simply saying no" or some such. I would be very interested to know what would...

Just downloaded Presto beta for iPhone. Navigation is functional & easier and faster than website. Layout is fairly straightforward. Like the basic black & white as well. Too bad there’s no NFC capability. :(

There is a 4th track at Bramalea (platform currently under construction) but it doesn’t run all the way from the actual junction with CN just east of the station. Currently 2 Metrolinx tracks and 2 CN tracks merge into 3 tracks all technically belonging to CN. Then a separate 4th track comes out...

At least the north set of escalators should have been up & running. In the afternoon rush, the vast majority of the crowd is coming from that direction.

Mmmmmuffin... Or was it Treats? And I miss Michel’s as well. And Cinnabon goes without saying. Although there is one within 5 minute walk from me

I agree 100%. Especially where Ford(s) are concerned. The question is, I f the PCs try this, how vehemently will the business community in Mississauga complain, I.e. developers getting set to unlock some of the potential of north central Mississauga based on the LRT coming in? Would such an...

Cinnabon was open quite late before as well. I would expect that McD’s, Timmy’s and probably Pizza Pizza at least will be open pretty much until the last patrons/commuters are gone for the night based on the hours they generally keep on the street. I’m usually passing through late (10-11pm) and...

Are the PCs really going to “cry poor” and cancel the “Huron LRT” (lol) then in the same breath promise a subway to Square One? Which would not cost $1-2 billion, as was stated earlier in this thread. Distance is about 12km x $372 million per km for subway construction (based on TYSSE) = ~$4.5...

But I would think this PC government would quickly realize that the amount of money they spent on a subway extension to Pickering, say, could go a long way toward building out a GO RER system that pretty much encompasses all existing GO corridors. And certainly everything immediately planned by...

And in the meantime... GO Transit? Which literally means Government of Ontario Transit? A system of trains that already run into the suburbs that the province already owns and operates? Maybe step up efforts to run more of those trains?... Maybe...?

This and other projects took too long getting off the ground while the Liberals were in power, unfortunately leaving it/them vulnerable to the PC axe. It would be so sad but not overly surprising to see a real dial back in transit spending across the region.

I would bypass to the next intersection eastbound on the 401 and turn around to hit the westbound Hwy 8 ramp directly.

A new Hwy on the west side of Brampton might help a bit. Getting the 427 extension to near Bolton done might help more. The new HOV lane on 410 should definitely have gone up at least to Bovaird. In fact, there could be an additional lane right up to Mayfield Rd. With all the residential sprawl...

Maybe we’ll see most vendors close by 7pm but at least McD’s & Tim’s will almost assuredly be open till much later. And open earlier, for that matter to catch the early morning coffee crowd as well. As of right now, there is a late evening market that current vendors like Bagel Stop & Starbucks...

My question is why haven’t they laid at least one more track between the Parkdale junction (Barrie Line split) and USRC? With UPX, Kitchener, Barrie and Milton services, wouldn’t extra track give the room for more daily/frequent service?

In fact, the rail corridor seems to already have been aligned with this in mind.

There is a section of the Islington bridge that is unused. The south underpass section could be cut back to add one more track, without disturbing Resources Rd.

I’m referring to the constant conflicts with CN limiting the already limited 2 way service between Maple and Aurora. Although as stated earlier on this page, the Davenport Overpass as originally announced was also supposed to have been done by now...

Just one observer’s humble opinion, but... In light of the recent news that Toronto’s commute overall has been ranked among the worst in the world (6th worst worldwide, worst in North America), it needs to be said again that Go trains are the biggest game changer we have. More trains, all day...
