Then why is there less seats for longitudinal seating than transverse seating? Seems a bit of an overkill to deal with those with motion sickness riding backwards.

Fix? It's not a geographic map. If they did it geographically, you wouldn't be able to read the names. I've never seen a to scale map on a train. It's not the same distance between King and Queen as Lawrence and York Mills. I don't think fixing that discrepancy is what people want.

That looks like the same map that people have posted several times already this week.

If one is overweight, then I guess one boards at Dorval or Guildwood. I'm not sure why anyone would be stopped at 23 kg, given the clip above says between 23 kg and 32 kg for a $25 fee. Yeah, I figure 32 kg is starting to get a bit heavy. I've certainly well exceeded these numbers in the past...

I believe this is Dundas? That's not a spot where I think the track is prone to flooding. I believe it's a but further north, north of Gerrard, where the old CN and CP tracks are no longer adjacent. Looking at the City of Toronto 0.5 metre topography, the ground next to the tracks is about 0.5...

The easy place of course is at Summerhill - where the old Toronto North station is still sitting there. Just need to get rid of the LCBO (which would be a shame, because it's a great store).

That's what we said about Quebec too, after the 1970s and 1980s. But it turned out to be far worse than anyone ever expected. Still, it's not like there's a magic button that makes the grass so much greener there. It's often the same companies and systems. Same technology. Sometimes even THE...

Queen doesn't have a subway under most of it either ... unless you are only going 3 subway stations. Will you tell me that there shouldn't be bus lanes on Atwater because it has a metro going along it?

How you don't need two adjacent elevators at all times, given the huge amount of time that one or other of the elevators is unavailable at a typical GO station.

That's not how contingency goes. If you use 0% of your contingency you are on budget. If they plan on using all their contingency, every time, it's just a book keeping tick to keep the initial numbers down. When we've dug down here on some of these "comparisons" we've seen that the cheaper one...

Interesting. I don't see how the width can be any different. It's not like the car width is any different than a Flexity Freedom (like in Waterloo). I suppose the aisle could be wider than the TTC's Flexity Outlooks, that are slightly narrower than the Freedoms and Citadis. But they don't look...

I had no idea that one was controversial. There were actually complaints not only about how big the parking lot was. But that people would be parking on the side of the street. SO WHICH ONE IS IT! 🤣 Racism and bigotry was a clear factor - from the contents of the video of the public meeting...

I think what it does is hold the light a bit longer if there's a streetcar stopped already at it's stop. Over top of it. Isn't it an antenna so it get's the radio signal from the streetcar ... or bus. Unless it's just the usual ones that detect automobiles that they've used since the 1970s or...

They aren't. But councillors are motivated by looking like complete fools. Nothing gets done until a politician puts a boot up their ass. I don't understand why Olivia Chow was so utterly extreme and hardline on the Police Board, but seems feckless on stuff like this. 46 minutes? That's the...

It certainly looks like it - and perhaps even more, looking at this March 2025 air photo in Google Earth. It's unfortunate there isn't anything newer for that part of the city.

All that shows is the accounting is different. It's easy enough to run the budget in year $0 than year of spending $, and get rid of the escalation. It doesn't make the cost any different. And Metrolinx includes not on the borrowing costs to build it, they include decades of operating and...

No, not that one - I'd heard there was another one also at a hearing. This one the mausoleum building was only one storey (certainly no more than two). People seemed more troubled that there was going to be an on-site house for the caretaker (isn't that a good thing? With complaints that it...

They need to get out the white out ... I end up giving some clown blocking the pedestrian crossing the finger most times I cross Front and Jarvis at the market. Or tapping on their back window I have to walk around them. Hopefully that's per warden, or the daily amount, or something.

I was hoping to hear from @Midtown Urbanist why he felt they were so different. Though first you said there is no real difference between the Flexity and the Citadis Spirit and there are a few minor differences. But now they are oranges and lemons? I'm confused.

I meant Midtown Urbanist. The Flexity's seem high end to me, compared to the moderns LRVs I've seen elsewhere. Why does the Citadis not seem high-end in comparison?
