    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    They'd just split it and attach another loco onto the six pack on the left. Only thing is though, is that you still require a clean and trip-ready 5A car on both six packs.

    That's your cab car.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    Unless they're in for repairs/servicing, cleaning, or stored in the mainline underground, they are outside.

    This is one of the coach shop storage tracks. This track in particular is mainly for cars queued for repair.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    Just passed the Forest Hill station site. All traffic lanes appear to be open on Eglinton, but not on Bathurst. I would surmise because of the holiday season and tomorrow's weather that it's like this for the time being. The temporary bus stops up the hill from Bathurst remain.

    I feel they should to modify some elements with said livery on coaches. Change the color of the fleet number. Having white letters on a florescent lime green background is not a visually smart approach; it needs to be a contrast so you can actually see the decals. Bring back the fleet number's...

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    ~18 hours, similar to the other four rapid transit lines. The Testing and Commissioning phase was/is also to have operators simulate service and their timetables. IIRC, overnight service was last recommended (from what I read somewhere) to be operated by an modified 334 Eglinton Blue Night...

    Stakeholder. Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for the correction and explanation.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Sidetrack for a question here. What exactly entails someone to be a shareholder stakeholder? And how?

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I'll take a stab at it. Part of it also, I believe, is that the fiscal year is up, and so it'll be important to remain within the budget and constraints leading up to the deadline (March 31). Not a whole lot of works being awarded out I hear. 🤷‍♂️

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    (I strongly agree, I was actually more a fan of Jane anyway).

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    I would also think that future extensions west should include as west as Keele, as Downsview Airport I heard is getting redeveloped at some point. It would push all the buses going to Sheppard West now make shorter and more localized services to a subway, and I would have it go on a straight...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Trannsee is no different. I just went out to catch a 332 earlier, and the bus was supposedly two minutes away, and two minutes away, and seconds away, where it disappeared and also supposedly made a detour (collision-related) from a vantage point where I could have told myself it was doing or...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Again??? Second time today. I got caught in the first one this morning around 10:00. It was the entire line (despite the ATC being to Eglinton-ish) at first, then within that disruption, they called out for no subway service between Sheppard West and Wilson. Eventually service resumed...

    Mildly disappointed with what I saw here. not so much a missed, but an ignored opportunity.

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I would surmise only during the rush, every other or third bus will be turned back if full separation is the course. Off-peak can and should work itself out in the scheduling/frequency detail, where a few minutes' adjustment could be a thing, here and there, to standardize the interlining...

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Chiming in late, from what I recall reading, there is an island bus loop planned for Cummer/Drewry for both routes to service west of Yonge. So, I think they may remain separate... likely interline, with some exceptions due to the differences in ridership. But yes, anything for Finch to access...

    Dundas St Rapid Transit (Metrolinx, Mississauga, Halton Region, CoT)

    Concept 3 I support. One bus for the whole segment is essential, even if not everyone rides it. The others supplement service in key areas along the way, but are targeted for those who could use less transfers to destinations away from Dundas (especially en masse). Service can be adjusted...

    Wait until it snows... Didn't recall seeing signage at all like you would find on Eglinton (the old school diamond lane (bus only/bicycle/3+ people in vehicle) signage).

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    What if there was a temporary connection behind the LRT station entrance - west of 2200 Yonge Street - wraps around, or a temporary hole in the wall on the south side, and have a covered pathway where it meets the corridor right by Cinnabon that links the subway to the current bus terminal...
