Honestly, a bi-directional service every 2 hours on weekends would still be uber appreciated.

Thanks for the advocacy Dave. Even if it didn't always mean what it should to the powers that be, your sharing of updates and inside knowledge with us all here has been incredibly valuable, and I very much appreciate all that you've contributed for us over the years.

Maybe to avoid being yelled at by Leary, staff just didn't report on the problems they were seeing. The CEO sets a tone which trickles down...

Just came here to post about that. Here's a link to the CTV story for those that don't do Facebook: CTV News Windsor | Gordie Howe bridge construction crews unearth historic streetcar rails and ties

So Amtrak now owns Washington's Union Station, here's their press release: Amtrak | With New Responsibility at Washington Union Station, Amtrak is Initiating Plan to Elevate the Travel Experience And the media's take on it: Washington Post | Amtrak just took over Union Station. What does it...

I've never understood the hate on the TR's. Granted, I only ride the subway in Toronto about once a year, but always love my rides in them. Riding whatever's on the Bloor line these days just feels old, clunky, and claustrophobic by comparison, and matches my memories of subway rides of yore.

I only ever get the #13 at Jersey Mike's, The Original Italian, so can't compare subs across the board. What I like is that you actually get to see them prepare it, which includes fresh slicing the meat straight out of the sock. Firehouse by contrast is a black box: You order it, and they hand...

Funny story, they're not allowed to use the platforms that were built into that bridge, as the trains would be too close to the signal for the switch to the Huron spur. They're permanently closing Duke St to build the platforms farther east. :(

Union needs it Mike's Way. Sorry frou-frou options I've never heard of, this is probably where my money will go if I'm hungry while passing through.

"If my calculations are correct, when this streetcar hits eighty-eight metres per hour... you're gonna see some serious s**t."

In general I'd agree with you, but I'm sure that that diamond costs CN extra money to maintain versus straight rail. Also, like all things construction related, it's only going to cost more to do it later, and they can start saving on special work inspections immediately if they do it now. It's...

I love YDS response here! Its what we all need to keep on file to use for ourselves when we hear people making this criticism during the next election.

I still wish they'd call it Berlin HBF; at least commission a mural or something with that name on it somewhere, like on the grade separation wall facing King Street.

The first time I had to drive to Toronto in the late '80s, a friend told me the two rules of driving in Toronto: 1) If the car fits, put it there. 2) If you don't, someone else will. It sounds silly, but that took all the stress away for me, and in the 30+ years since has actually served me...

Is it too much to ask for retractable bollards with reactive armour?

If I'm commuting I'll take known comfort food over unknown frou-frou food any day of the week.

Is it wrong that part of me wants somebody to go in there with spray paint and make some of Kotsy's more colourful tags a reality?

Not under Leary, and he's the clutter that most needs to go.

This would be a great letter to the editor of The Star. Get the general public clamouring for his head and then maybe it will finally roll.

It should play a cheesy electronic tune, like an ice cream truck for your depressing adult years.
