    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I think it maybe time to do Pedestrian Scramble/Scrambled Crossing intersections where pedestrians are not allow to cross the intersection on a green for traffic, but only for them. I have seen them else where and it allows for a better flow for everyone as well more safer for pedestrians...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    There are supposed to be 3 streetcars decorated. Cool looking inside and out, A real step up for TTC on the subway train. TTC was having a bad day from 7:00 am to when I left the system at 11:00 am. No service between Eglinton and Old Mill still on going when I left the system. Couple...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    You can talk about what should happen to side platforms with no centre platform, but that is not what ML is currently doing at Long Branch at this time. It is easier to make the north platform a centre platform than the south one, which will have some impact on riders. If you have two...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    No, it is not cheaper with fewer elevators. You need elevators for all platforms, as people live on the north side who need to get to the south side. You can have a ramp to both side platforms, but still need elevators for both, so people to use the tunnel without needing to use GO and for...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Talking to a few transit personnel in the US who have run systems, they expect improvement over the next 6 months or less, but with no transit priority not going to improve that much.

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    By the end of 2026, all tracks could be in place from Steeles to Port Credit, depending on how much trackwork has to be rebuilt. This doesn't require phasing. If the loop is to be part of the line for opening day, you may have to do a phasing for Sq One to Steeles, depending on what ML wants for...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    There are small differences between the two ML models or TTC, but nothing to write home about other than length. Each systems adds or deduct items for a model they want with ML being no different. If you check the Finch car on an apple to apple base and compare it to TTC Flexity, you will see...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    It has been said that this is day one of real service, and TTC doesn't want Ottawa issues on this line to the point it may take 6 months to see a decrease in runtime to a point. Until there is a real transit priority signal system in play. Let's see what April will bring for service quality

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Based on trips to Europe, I rank BBD near the bottom of trams with Alstom above BBD, Right now, you are comparing apples to oranges, as you are looking at two different sizes and designs. Finch has a lot of room for redevelopment along it over the next 30-50 years. End of the day, ML asked...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    There is no real difference between the Flexity and the Citadis Spirit, other than that the Citadis Spirit is 48m long from my point of view. There are a few minor differences, but there are design changes between Alstom and BBD models.. This means Ottawa Citadis Spirit are a poor choice of...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    No, based on what is taking place now in the area south of the QEW. If they were not going full throttle south of the elevated section like today, a phase opening could happen subject to the exiting trackwork north of Eglinton. The only phasing would be for the loop itself, which is subject to...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    They are rebuilding the center section of the bridge since the traffic lanes were done in 2024. It took most of this year to open the northbound lanes which were done in 2024 so the centre section could be done. No idea why it took so long to open those lanes,

    PNR and A&B Rail are both doing trackwork now for the corridor. A&B Rail did Topflight along with the OMSF guideway. Looks like they're doing the trackwork from Hwy 401 north, along with the work from Square One Drive to Central Pkwy PNR is doing the work from Central Pkwy and most likely to...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Dec 7 Anyone who rides the LSW line that passes the Long Branch GO Station should look out the south window as you pass the station to see the first half section of a new grider bridge that will go over Etobicoke Creek. By the look of it as best I could see it will be for track 1 based on the...
