MiWay drivers do this regularly at Square One.

And if they had put up maps with only the 6 on them, and had to reprint them a month or two later with the 5 on it, you guys would be complaining at how much money they're wasting.

People think of streetcars as being for long distance because that's how the route network is designed. I think that you're overstating just how transformative the Ontario line will be. We're not building a network here, it is one line, and it will have its target audience in the areas where...

This doesn't seem at all realistic. There's always going to be a certain group of passengers who will need to travel from one side of the "divide" to the other, and despite the mixed traffic stretch, there's no way it will be more economical, time wise, to get out, travel into the deep caverns...

No worries. And here's the averages for yesterday (Tuesday, December 2), going westbound: And eastbound: Nothing all that dramatically different, seems like a pretty standard deviation for random acts of chance. The one odd thing is that the low numbers are skewed by a trip unhelpfully...

Christmas Day? As in a day when the politicos who simply *must* be there to give their vapid speeches will want to be at home with their families?

I haven't been to Kennedy in forever, does anyone have any pics of what the platforms look like now? Hard to believe they'd actually be so stupid as to actively remove constructed infrastructure, but you never know with these clowns at the helm.

I doubt it, as the 36 doesn't terminate at Humber College there would be no need to have recovery time there. I assume it's a combination of two factors: one being that much like the LRT schedule, the bus schedule features excessive padding at times that does not reflect the true reality on...

I'm going to do something a little crazy here, and provide actual numbers and data, something which this thread has been appallingly light on in the last while. TransSee offers average travel time data. It's a free feature for streetcar routes, and a premium feature for buses. Here is what it...

Without comparing the price per kilometre costs for a new subway, that's a meaningless statistic in the context of transit construction in Toronto. LRT may be expensive, but there's no chance the price of LRT has ballooned while subway has remained fixed. So it stands to reason that a Finch...

I'm not sure trivial is an accurate word. This morning it took my train 3 minutes to get from Union to King, which is pretty bad. And then there was some kind of undeclared slow zone from King to Queen, too.

All very true, but I would also add that even a slower LRT is unlikely to tip the scale in terms of people being pushed away, at least if those making the decision are remotely reasonable individuals. That's not to say that we shouldn't try to mine as much speed out of the infrastructure as is...

Why would you assume that? Line 2 has always been faster than the 1, since before the pre-ATC days, because the 1 has lots of curves and timers, while the 2 is just one long straightaway.

Also not the point. The point is, shitty operational practices don't discredit an entire mode of transport. Yes, exactly that. If the Finch line achieved speeds anywhere near that level, it would be several levels more impressive than the projected average speeds now. Rapid transit is...

It's not just a TTC thing, it's a North America thing. It's because we have a culture that a) prioritizes the illusion of safety above all else, and b) is so litigious that the only solution to anything is to restrict restrict restrict. New York added a lot of timers on their subway in the...

Congratulations on completely missing my point. The point is that if best practices aren't followed on a mode of transport - ANY mode of transport - delays and inefficiencies arise. When poor operational practices result in an LRT line running slower than it could, you're all out here...

Thanks, I wasn't aware that there was a page on the site for it with the up to date one. Nonetheless, either map proves my point... if you have a bunch of circus clowns at the helm, being a subway instead of an LRT is no guarantee of speed or reliability. Nor are buses.

Just putting this reminder here before we get people attempting to discredit the chosen mode of transport again based on sketchy agency-level operating procedures. And a demo of what we could also have if North American institutions didn't prize the illusion of safety over common sense:

???? So it's fine if people can vote and at 18 and can drive and join the army at 16, but drinking at 18 is where we draw the line????????????????? ????
