It's fine until you experience other cities Transitway such as Ottawa and Brisbane. The busways in those cities absolutely flew at like 80 or even 90km/h between stops, not the 50km/h in Mississauga. As much as I didn't want to say it, what Mississauga got was basically the "Ottawa Transitway at...

Line 5 maybe, Line 6 definitely not. I honestly think we'd sooner see a Steeles Light Metro that extends into Brampton than some sort of Line 6 metro conversion.

The question I raise is whether other solutions could've been found that solved the capacity issue without even building much infra along Finch. Easy Example (completely theoretical): Imagine if we had a jump start on projects such as the Bolton Line and Kitchener Line expansion (more frequent...

Its worth pointing out that these are the same trains that are used in Ottawa - the city which had a problem for a while with doors getting jammed whenever someone tried to hold them open (and as a resulted permanently halted rolling out door open buttons). I wouldn't be surprised if part of...

That's tangential to my point at best. If Ford wants to have strong control over municipal matters, then make it provincial matter. Its kinda like the whole issue with the City of Toronto trying to install Tolls on Gardiner/DVP, is it fair that the province can overrule the city on installing...

The more I think about it, the more I think that Ford should just upload the roadways he doesn't want Municipalities messing with. Don't want Bike Lanes on Bloor or University? Hey they used to be Highways 5 and 11A respectively, upload them and you can do whatever you want, set whatever speed...

I don't think so, although it really depends on how Canadian-American relations look like a decade from now. Whilst YTZ is nice for flights to Ottawa/Montreal, I'd very much argue that its value lies into more medium distance trips particularly to major North-Eastern American cities such as NYC...

The difference is that other cities build trams either for short haul trips, as feeders to other transit lines, or make use of extensive off street segments. Paris is a perfect example of this, many of its Tram Lines run in dedicated Rail ROWs, or in cases like the T9 - the RER C is literally...

Sunnybrooke Park is nowhere near as questionable as some of the stops on Line 6 and even Line 5. At least its a lengthy-ish walk to nearby stops, is located on a major street with a bus connection, can be used in the future for a Midtown/rerouted RH line connection, and you know what, a transit...

I'm sorry what? You do understand that Peterborough is 141km from Downtown Toronto right? 141km is enough to drive across Belgium in many parts, forget being a suburb/secondary station. Someone living in a populated part of Durham travelling to Peterborough to catch HSR is the railroad...

Ah yes, casually build a freeway through Bond Lake, because that totally won't completely piss off everyone living in Oak Ridges. This is one of the most popular hiking spots for this part of York Region, a freeway here will not be received well at all.

The last part isn't true. There is a diamond, however it doesn't see any regular train service, and mostly just exists to serve Walkley Yard. The one diamond that actually has regular rail service (VIA) was grade separated during the Line 2 closure

Going through the articles trying to find the one comment that's anti-Metrolinx isn't "reading between the lines", it's desperately trying to find ammo. This only works if the argument you're trying to fight against is people claiming that Metrolinx is some perfect golden boy organization -...

Except how much money would such a thing cost? Remember, Science Centre is a simple island platform station. Ignoring having to introduce crossovers somewhere, without major modifications that means each track would have to service a single line/direction. You don't have access to any pocket...

I don't necessarily agree that she has been opposing these projects, just rather that they're nowhere near the top of her priority list. In fact I'm actually not even sure what she has really done during her time as mayor in general, the only thing I know is she made some deals with Ford that...

You posted an article regarding Toronto's plans that are tangentially related to Automated Speed Enforcement, there is nothing here regarding Transit Signal Priority, nor has the province made any comment remotely indicating that they're against its installation. From the beginning Metrolinx has...

Ye, its actually a running joke in Greater Montreal politics how it seems like Laval always gets screwed over when it comes to any form of transit plans, whether its Laval asking for the Expo 67 minirail for use in its transit plans (which they were denied), or it taking forever for the Orange...

Source: You made it up. Its been quite clear over the past few months that the line being slow and no active priority has been entirely on the city. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with this blame shifting.

The CDL concern comes from the fact that many of us are/were unsure that Alto wants to commit to building a 2nd Mont Royal Tunnel in an attempt to save costs, and the revelation that their preferred alignment involves running the train along the north shore (likely crossing at Hawkesbury)...

The phases are meant to be built at roughly the same time, initial documents showed like a 2 year offset.
