    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    As much as I don't like Ford, his 'Subways, Subways, Subways' mantra is a good thing.

    VIA Rail

    Oh my goodness! 160 km/hr! So much faster than the speed limit on the 401. See,to a layman, it already is fast. So, an extra 40km/hr sounds even faster. Meanwhile 300+km/hr is a normal speed elsewhere.

    VIA Rail

    Probably because the trains only achieve 140 km/hr in Canada. 200 km/hr would seem like an achievement here.

    London Rapid Transit (In-Design)

    This falls under a solution to a problem that we don't want to admit - sprawl. Picture taking a place like Renfrew and building 20+ story towers. How quickly would the sell or rent if there was a good transit connection to Ottawa? The same can be asked of places like St Thomas.

    Thank you, I have changed it.

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

    Which is the point. The confusion would be minimal.

    London Rapid Transit (In-Design)

    Ottawa and London are a unique city in that they do have commuting from the outlying areas and it is possible that if something was set up, it may be successful. If we had a provincial crown agency that was focused on commuting in the province, we would see at the very least buses connecting...

    Ontario Intercity Public Transit Discussion

    I am starting this thread in hopes of talking about what the government of Ontario could/should/might/will do to improve public transportation inter connectivity. This includes GO transit, ONR Bus and Northlander as well as regional transportation services, such as the ones in the Simcoe and...

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

    If you were in another city, and you did not speak the language,could you figure out the difference between the bus route and the train route if they had the same label?

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Sorry,I did not see that. And it is connected to the Via network by a single line. It'd be no worse than extending a train to Fort Erie. And... Port Dover does have rail near enough to it. https://rac.jmaponline.net/canadianrailatlas/

    Barrie Collingwood Railway (BCRY)

    I don't think anyone is suggesting a train to the base of the hill. I know I am not. So, there still would be buses.

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Which is likely why the thing at St Lambert is done as it is.

    London Rapid Transit (In-Design)

    You missed this part: Work in a collaborative partnership with MTO to support the actions outlined in Connecting the Southwest: A draft transportation plan for southwestern Ontario, by completing technical rail planning studies in southwestern Ontario and identifying opportunities to enhance...

    Do you know what Metrolinx's mandate is? Hint - none of it has Toronto centric wording. https://www.metrolinx.com/en/about-us

    Barrie Collingwood Railway (BCRY)

    Go was that, but after going to Niagara Falls, it isn't that anymore. The question would be whether a bus would be enough for the amount that would use it. That is why I asked if there has ever been a study on it. We can argue back and forth for the next week, but without much context, we both...

    VIA Rail

    I posted this over on the Danforth extension thread, but maybe it is better suited here. I learned how close McCowen station will be to the CP Agincourt yard and the tracks leading into it. IIRC, Via's HFR is planned to go through there. If so, would McCowen Station become an intermodal station...

    You mean how GO already only catches a portion of the long distance commuter market? I used that as a simple way of saying how much could work. Maybe there are trains every 4 hours to and from Colllingwood.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    I was thinking it might due to the fact that if Sheppard line is ever extended, it would come here. So this would be a meeting of 2 lines. Sounds like there are a lot of challenges. First one being the routing of Via's HFR. Or even it being funded. 175-225m is not an onerous walk, even with...
