It seems like this is a case where hydrogen would be a stronger energy candidate source than batteries. And given that these are industrial equipment, with fairly long life times they’ll probably stay fossil powered for a long time. They make up a comparatively small source of emissions so it’s...

If you really want personal freedom when travelling, a car (which costs thousands, a VIN attached to your name, a license attached to your name, insurance attached to your name) is not the way to do it. Bikes, scooters, skateboards bypass all of that. Bikes are the most liberating form of...

You're replacing ICEV maintenance with EV maintenance. Even though the components are simplified with respect to moving parts, you now have high-voltage involved. EV maintanance regime would be less repairs that cost more and are way more dangerous because of the electrical syste, This is not...

If your hybrid is not a plugin hybrid, then you don’t have to charge it, the battery is charged by the IC engine

I don’t understand this because I drive a hybrid Toyota. I get 1000km a tank and I gas up once a month and it costs me only 61$cad for a full tank. I live in an apartment so I can’t charge at home, so evs are out of the equation for me. Previous gen Priuses are common enough that maintenance...

What would be the extra cost of extending the Sheppard subway from McCowan to Malvern Town Center with a stop at Sheppard and Markham Rd

Get rid of those intersections for carsaltogether. Anyone would would use the Swift/Credit Union intersection can simply drive 400m to the Sloane intersection Altogether, these 5 left turns are totally unnecessary. Maybe you can have pedestrian crossings but theres no reason why we...

There are 5 places where a side street intersection with Eglinton has a left turn intersecting with the LRT. We can remove these left turns in favor of protected left turns at the nearest arterial-arterial intersection and halve the amount of traffic conflict points Swift / Credit Union Dr...

Eglinton can still be grade separated. If you shut the eastern section down, the ROW to build an elevated line exists so long as you remove a couple of left turns.

By restricting multi-family homes to arterials, this is the housing reality you will create, the mature state of which can be seen in North York Center. You can see this further reflected in the school district boundaries where the Noble Elites of East Willowdale elected to keep the low-born...

Only noble born SFH owners are allowed quiet homes on low traffic, forested side-streets. Peasants get to overlook the stroad canyon and breath in tire dust and exhaust fumes, admiring the world from their 10sqft balcony. (Only a semi-serious take)

Dougie's YIMBY phase could only last so long I guess

But since the eastern part of the line is not grade separated, you still need operators, so you couldn’t have full train automation and you are still subject to the whims of bad drivers who might affect the operations out east.

You’re gonna be spending a ton of money on the retrofits to the eastern leg and suffering through delays, when some guy in an SUV runs into Don Mills station or was drunk driving and takes out a catenary pole. And you’ll be spending tons of money trying to up the capacity when ridership...

So what your saying is that if we had just switched out the train stock, and done anything else to the signal, station sizes, headway etc, we would’ve gotten a 22% boost in capacity? That’s a lot of ridership left on the table.

We didn't save much if any money. If anything, we spent more money to get less. 1. The tunnels are the same diameter 2. The stations are about the same size or larger than they would have had to be to accomodate a subway with similar / more ridership (because of the lower capacity of low floor...

Yea cars are dangerous but what will make them safer is when crashes automatically mean killing everyone aboard! Platform doors, Not a problem privatization will solve by itself. Not a problem privatization will solve by itself. Not a problem privatization will solve by itself Not a problem...

Blaming it on "peoples distrust of the government" is excusing the producers and consumers of the misinformation too easily. Its a combination of car brain, multi-level misrepresentation of true stories, and generalized right-wing paranoia. The producers are either regurgitating 2nd, 3rd...

I guess if ice falling onto the DVP is a problem, and the span is only 600m or so, and there is no need to have a single span, it doesn't make sense to put in a cable stayed bridge for any reason other than aesthetics. And similar pre-stressed concrete beam bridges have been built before, with...
