the only way we get "subway like" service on GO lines is with positive train control. Metrolinx have asked suppliers to weigh in, but implementation of that has expensive and difficult in US installs - we should not assume that it would slide in here. Electrification has to happen, and vehicle procurement and commissioning.
Do GO not use PTC? How do they control the trains?
i keep seeing people say that SmartTrack or whatever must operate at TTC fare in the 416, but if the cost per fare ends up driving all TTC fares skyward, the many parts of the city this scheme doesn't do a damn thing for might have something to say about that. After all, that (paying more for costly to run but express service) has been considered fair for punters taking the 140 series of TTC routes in the past.
I agree. I'd rather pay a surcharge of a few cents to use SmartTrack (if it gets built; it won't) than have all of our fares raised.
