50 extra trains an hour? Nearly 1 extra train a minute? Sorry but not buying it.
I think they only run 48/hour at peak (Give or take) as it is!

You may want to review your numbers before presenting your stuff to the critics. Doubling capacity on the lines is impossible due to the restrictions of the turn around time at the termini. They are pretty much operating at capacity today.
If it is your innovation that you presented in regards to the project at Bloor, why don't you sue for infringement?
Ando,
Thank you for that informative website. I was able to fine tune my numbers.
It still is in keeping with my original documentation when I originally contacted the TTC Commissioners on July 29th, 2008, showing how I can improve the ENTIRE SUBWAY SYSTEM BY MORE THAN 133% without even having to put a shovel into the ground.
For those transit enthusuastics, the invention and innovation is actually smarter that the technology that goes into line planning.
chech out this web site.
open the PDF file, it's 19 pages and you will be wowed at the formula.
"Models for Line Planning in Public Transit", This formula will blow your socks off.
My "transit transformation technology" is actually smarter than that.
Now you will know why I not only need a meeting, but also how patient I have been in biding my time, to hopefully build curiosity and credibility.
We'll I'm back.
I have had my 3 "very big" meetings. (Each over an hour)
For those who had questions on my claims. I will now answer them.
From any subway stop farthest from downtown Toronto (Yonge and Bloor).
You would have less than 4 subway stops.
SAFTEY EQUALLS EFFICIENCY.
During my meetings not one said my claim for improving the subway system was incorrect. Fundamentally I had all the basis covered.
The subway system end to end would only take about 52 minutes, not 105 minutes end to end. and all stations in the middle would be serviced.
Some trains stops at certain stations all the time. Some trains stop at certain stations every 2nd train, and at a couple of stations will stop at every 3rd train.
Would you believe the system would include getting to work FASTER , and I mean faster, by going to work in the opposite direction.
For example if you lived near Coxwell station you would go EAST to go to work (downtown) go over to Victoria Park and from there only have two stops and like an EXPRESS SUBWAY SYSTEM, you arrived at work in about 14 minutes.
The train at all times is able to travel at 88 km an hour, even through stations, now that there is a full BARRIER WALL along the station "not the guards as brought to Dragons Den in April.
I in effect have converted a "milk run" subway system and turned it into 4 separate EXPRESS SUBWAY SYSTEMS.
For 39 stations nothing changes, everything is the same. For 21 stations you go to work in the opposite direction.
.........YOU GET A SEAT.
.................THE TRAIN IS ONLY HALF OR LESS FULL
.......................YOU GET TO WORK IN HALF THE TIME.
...............................NO MORE TRACK FIRES.
.............................NO MORE SUBWAY "DEATH" DELAYS
.............ALMOST NO PERSONAL ASSISTANCE ALARM DELAYS.
YOU ARE NOT ON THE SUBWAY LONG ENOUGH IN ORDER TO HAVE PANIC ATTACKS, ANXIETY ATTACKS, FAINTING ETC.
Finch to Bloor would be about 13.5 minutes. ( only 4 subway stops)
Kennedy to Yonge would be about 22 minutes. ( only 4 subway stops)
Kipling to Yonge would be about 30 minutes (only 4 subway stops)
Downsview to St. George would only be 3 stops.
All stations are possitively effected, except Rosedale, Summerhill and Bathurst. They could offer a one way metro pass for Rosedale and Summerhill for say $40 as a kind guesture.
I am suggesting condo parking lots at the end of each subway line to accommodate the new capacity room that would equall about an extra 455,000 new passengers every morning.
Once the platform safety is in place, instantly all trains will be half full, just because they travel end to end twice as fast, and in half the time.
The Director of Innovation for the US is coming to Toronto to meet with me and is very excited about the new innovation.
Mass Transit is about transporting the masses,........not sitting in tunnels.
It's about moving people ...... as many people as possible, safely and quickly. At present, neither is happening.
Safety is the key to efficiency. Station skipping is done , not as a common basis, however it must have safety to be part of it, and it needs the right strategy in order to shorten every one's trip.
Toronto can thereby have the ability for an added income of 1.346 billion annually basis on new ridership income capability and new parking fees at 4 outter core convenient parking highrise......with elevators of course..
This income and capacity improvement without SAFETY.
Today's only technology for Safety requires Automatic Train Control.
Safety Designs and safety specifics within my patent pending status includes all and any of the features that allow for Safety, without the need for ATC.
This is my mission, to move Toronto faster, more user friendly, and more safely. My mission is to further takes cars off the roads, saving our environment.
One does not want to use transit, if there is no where to park your car, or no where that is inconvenient like Finch.
One also does not want to be on an over crowded subway for excessive periods of time.
Now they will be half full as they travel twice as fast back and forth across the city, and secondly everyone get to work in about half the time, with no crazy surprises.
Sharon, the Dragons Den Gal, motivated to make Toronto a Great Place to travel.......better isn't good enough.
Operationally what does a train bound for King station (and lets say bypassing Queen) do when the train in front of it is stopped at Queen, and how does that affect the speed of the train.
