The relief line was not part of Transit City, and Transit City was not some all encompassing exclusive plan, the DRL was proceeding separately and did until Doug stopped it for the Ontario Line. The EA for the Don Mills LRT was never completed, so detailed plans for the line were never...

No, the relief line would be further ahead than the Ontario line is now, and it could be extended like the Ontario Line is, that is just a political thing. The Finch LRT has already been improving, that's a rather negative view to think they would still be going 12km/h.

Someone forgot to tell them the garage wasn’t for their other rubber tire vehicles.

Ford thought that the Scarborough LRT was going to rip up roads and block traffic, no he didn’t know anything.

And it’s done so the media can’t make headlines over an expense claim for orange juice.

If you’re going to build new railway tunnels then just leave them under the railway corridor and serve Union, building them along side the Ontario line would save nothing since they would need to be separate tunnels anyway.

I'm curious to know what the TSP on Finch is capable of if fully turned on, would it just slightly extend green times or can it detect a LRV far enough away to give it a green light 95% of the time?

The same group also complained about construction at the portal, which would not have existed if they did not fight to have the stop saved.

At the very least leaving room in the design for the current platform rebuilding for high level platforms for Alto and Via should be required.

The subway nuts were never pushing for a subway because they though it would have fewer operational issues getting it running.

Yeah, we’ve never seen slow zones in the subway, schedule bloat, lineups at terminals, operational problems, lines that never get built, etc. Such a transit paradise.

I still keep finding new reasons to rue the day the day P3 transit projects were dumped on us.

The surface platforms are better than the ones on Eglinton even, more shelter coverage and a better concrete barrier between the vehicle lanes and the platform.

Humber College station should be covered over completely, having to clear snow from a below ground platform is just dumb. That should have been the biggest issue with this line.

Low traffic also means fewer riders, how many stops are the buses actually making during that time?

It's been explained several times how the concerns of bunching or slowing down in the underground section are unwarranted. If you still don't want to believe it then don't. It's simple, the cars just get closer together on the slower section but maintain the same headway. Once they get back to...

I’m sure I remember an exhibit at the Science Center that demonstrated this concept.

The first in service train from Finch West is not until 8am.

But I gotta stream my Tictok’s between stations!

I do think that going up the Don branch is better also, especially since the Ontario line took tracks away from the lakeshore corridor.
