I compare it to Ontario Line because the frequency will be approx the same, driver less, screen door, same kind of trains (somewhat) acting like a metro etc. GO not frequent enough at least not for a long time. Like Ontario Line, REM will connect areas that were challenging to access in the...

To be fair my issue mostly with non grade separated transit then the speed of trains. I am from Montreal where we just got the REM. Ontario Line would compare but smaller in scale and wish Toronto were building more like the REM. Not a fan of LRT’s but will go to Toronto to try them once they...

This is exactly the problem with many rail projects in Ontario. Speed should be one of the goal and I am stun to hear it’s not the goal to make transit faster and more convenient. I purchase my first car when travel time to get to work was not reasonable and I am sure I am not alone. For the...

Because Ontario doesn’t seems to know the difference between Rapid Transit and Mass Transit. At the end of the day it’s better than nothing but wish Toronto had more vision.

It’s not an invasive tree and doesn’t look like it’s going to be the only tree planted. Same for every tree we need to be careful over planting it but it’s a sound choice for cities. Wish we would see more gingko and from all cultivars. It’s not that popular with home owners because 1) slow...

Gingko are amazing, branches doesn’t break easy, wind resistant, pollution resistant, low maintenance. It’s a legacy tree. A favourite tree of mine with so many cultivars with different shape and size. It’s true it’s not the favourite trees for birds but my gingko attract a lot of birds and wish...

I really like it but I usually loves buildings other hate. Maybe I have weird taste but LOVES both the building and the video. Toronto looks incredible!

Where do I say peoples should suffer? I said finding ways to have an express route ALSO. Or do a mix of LRT and buses. Or do bigger grade separation over time to increase speed. Transit win when both short and long distance are part of the equation. Both are important.

I find it very hard to believed this LRT project was the only solution to fix the issue you are mentioning. At the end of day if the residents are happy, I am happy but more could have been done particularly if it’s that busy. And hopefully Toronto will try to find ways to improve travel time...

Then they should have kept buses. If we are investing in rapid transit it should be rapid or at least creating an express route otherwise it’s missing the mark. Particularly when you consider all transits can have delay (unavoidable). If the best scenario 33 mins + wait time, it’s bad and...

Below my source: https://transittoronto.ca/archives/reports/Finch-West-LRT-FAQs-Revised-June9.pdf 33-34 a tad better than my numbers but still terribly slow for a brand new projet. Miss opportunity here. Hopefully Finch West will over deliver.

38 mins for 10,3 KM isn’t rapid transit. I do feel they should work on improving travel time as top priority before expanding the line.

I hope so too! Ms So all this investment for something buses can do? If the issue capacity doesn’t means should not be an opportunity not to increase time of travel. Otherwise it’s a failed opportunity. Hopefully the projection are conservative to over delivered.

Yes, but they are also saying 38 minutes here including the same 34 minutes you have in the FAQ. I am wondering if it’s because the higher number include a wait time estimate. https://transittoronto.ca/archives/reports/Finch-West-LRT-FAQs-Revised-June9.pdf

Wow your very talented! Most pictures of the Well are greats, but these pictures just stunning!

Thanks for your input. The info was from Metrolinx and seems to be from 2019. Hopefully your right 27-30 would be much better considering the “relatively low” frequency planned. 5-7 mins during peak could be better versus what buses can do.

Any reason this project only planned to save 20% of time? And approx 40 minutes for 10 KM. Are theses number accurate? With track separated and transit priority I would have expected something faster.

Mississauga have a long way to go to surpass Montreal skyline.

CIBC Construction An « interesting » video of the Construction at CIBC I just found on Youtube. Don’t know if it was shared already.

I agree maybe it’s because so many peoples criticized theses towers, maybe it’s because Montréal doesn’t get many great new towers, maybe it’s the colour I like, maybe it’s because they are twins towers and I am a twin, I dont know, but I really love these two new buildings according to the...
