As an occasional user of Greyhound in the US, I can attest to the dirtiness of the buses. It also seems like buses that are nearing 25 years of age are still in service, but there are some newer ones around.

Any word on service routing or frequency? Seems Metrolinx managed to continue the trade-offs of the local and express bus routes with this wye over the 403.

In Minneapolis, the light rail trains make all stops but in the winter riders have to push the door button.

Thinking about a northern extension, how about along Don Mills to the Richmond Hill GO corridor? Stops at Donway S, Lawrence, Donway N, York Mills, Sheppard/Leslie Subway, Finch, Steeles, John-Green, Richmond Hill Centre Subway, Bantry, Carrville, Major Mac, Elgin Mills. Gormley and Bloomington...

Thanks for sharing the video, coolstar. I'm quite curious how a project this massive got approved. This is basically a gold plated station with a constrained site, no transit connections, prohibited development, and no planned increase in service beyond the six trains. One of the reasons...

I'm wondering if anyone knows the current status of the Bloomington Rd GO station. Is it still on track to open this year?

I'm curious about the Confederation GO station. Is the rail station opening this year, or is it just the bus loop? What is the service plan once Confederation opens. I've done some googling, but only yielded a few articles in the past year.

Interesting. If the Dundas LRT goes through, what are the possibilities of interlining with Hurontario to provide a one-seat ride from Kipling to MCC? It seems a little foolish to end the Subway option at Cooksville, but it would probably be better to build an elevated viaduct to bring a...

The conversion of GO commuter rail lines into regional lines are certainly taking longer than an ideal amount of time to get off the ground; however, when they are up and running, they will be able to provide fast east-to-west or north-to-east or west service. Of course for most suburb-to-suburb...

Sure, so Greyhound cuts bus service, then the residents have to wait 5+ years for the government to get trains running? If the Canadian gets service 3x weekly, I wonder what these other places will get, 1x weekly? In reality look at how crappy VIA's mainline trains are. The line to Churchill is...

Here is an example of what a list could look like for the Central Corridor LRT in Minneapolis (obviously the actual list would be for Toronto): CENTRAL CORRIDOR LRT | Awaiting Construction | Opens 2014 | $940 Million The Central Corridor light rail transit line will connect Downtown Minneapolis...

The status of a transit project is easy to determine (pick one :p) : Dead Early Discussion Early Planning Final Planning Awaiting Construction (a.k.a. planned & funded) Under Construction Complete Open

A listing of transit projects with maps, a short description, status and estimated completion would be nice? It would also be nice to have it stickied (correct spelling?).

I've thought about it, it doesn't sound like a good idea to built a subway along the freeway (unless the stations aren't on the freeway, but the area between stations is). Sheppard Subway from Scarborough CC to Mississauga CC or Brampton?

Northern Light, I like your suggestion of going off of the freeway for the stations. It serves areas well without the problems of access to freeway stations, but it travels in the freeway corridors in between stations to save on elevation/tunneling costs.

It would go under the airport or something, I don't know the area well, sorry. There is a map linked in the article in the menu on the left.

Should the 401RT idea be resurrected? It seems like a good idea to me, but I am not from Toronto. For those that don't know the 401RT is a new rapid transit line along the 401 and the Sheppard Subway from Mississauga City Centre, Pearson Airport, North York City Centre, Scarborough City...

Will this transitway be 100% grade-seperated? When is the estimated completion date?
