Must be some reversed decision or community backlash? I remember some people talking as if the Pape bridge was close to being demolished. Either way good news.

Is there still plans to demolish the Pape pedestrian bridge? Seeing it still up is a hopeful. I actually like it.

I mean , the biggest road block to trolleys would be the actual facilities. I assume the overhead wires would be the same as what the streetcars use? Actually streetcars use panto, so no. But we do have the overhead department at TTC. I remember David Miller was studying to bring back...

I think the benefits to having double end cars is a worthwhile investment. You save on not having loops. And everything doesn't have to happen at once. Double end cars, and as time goes on make the adjustments at the end of the line to accommodating them. By the time 30 years come around there...

You sure ION will get the same cars as they have now. They don't make them anymore. Unless Alstom reactivates production for such a small order. Would it be worth it? Has ION sent out a RFP or some document stating this?

I agree. WFH is an overall win-win. Employees, productivity, environmental, etc. But I suspect the need to stimulate business in the downtown and to justify office leases was the reason to end WFH. I would stand behind the labour movement if they fought for WFH. Pocket lines and everything.

We needed that information yesterday. Tell your company to work around you. Lol

I don't see TTC fixing up older garages or making a downtown garage a priority. But from a core operational need, it should be looked at. I get the lack of space downtown, but as mentioned , a multi level garage could potentially help with land use. TTC also has situation where they lease too...

Believe it or not, even with one person operation, they are still required to put the train in emergency and cut the power. But like you said, it's best to move on.

I don't expect you to see the fundamental difference. As for how to cut the power while the train is moving, that tells me it's already going above your head.

Again your wrong Dan. The first thing an operator is suppose do is cut the power. Theres a phone from there where they can call control. If too traumatized, sure stay in cab. But procedure is cut power, first. Always assume the person is alive, and for emergency personnel to get down safely...

I have a family member was a subway operator. They don't have to stay in the cab. And I know they've had multiple jumpers over the years. Including being a chief supervisor. They help with evacuations. But they are explicitly told not to go down to track level. Only exception is if they are...

Well, at least now it's doug that will have to answer for this , and any mess or delay as a result. That's assuming the province as officially taken over both expressways by now?

I would like to see more one seat rides on cross border routes between Toronto and surrounding regions. Seamless travel, similar to the routes TTC had prior to TYSSE. Even if they last two years, they appear to really attract customers. Some progress on Miway taking over some TTC routes in the...

From Merx, looks like TTC wants 100% EV para transit buses. I'm actually surprised there sticking with this EV agenda, when everyone appears to be backing away from it.

403 was once proposed to connect to the 401 at 427/Hwy27. And eventually turn into the proposed Richview/Crosstown expressway along Eglinton. I would propose that Doug just to see his reaction of a highway going through is neighborhood. It would be funny to see him fight against that. It...

Too stressful, imagine if they had demolished it.

The transparency won't be around for much longer. When the province uploads the expressway ,expect to hear nothing. Enjoy what little information we do get. Also with the upload, they should also upload Lake Shore Blvd. Apparently that's the biggest hurdle to finalizing the upload. If the...

Is there plans to rebuild Pape station bus terminal as is? Or will they make the bus terminal smaller? There's no need for the 72 Pape bus to enter, and of course no more 81 Throncliffe bus going in. Just the 25 Don Mills and 925 as the only routes at Pape stn?
