Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

That would include GO Trains, UPX, the Pearson Terminal Link, subways, SRT, LRT's, and streetcars.

Without the pearson link, that's a perfect map.

That said, as far as developed countries go, only Canadians worry about data roaming fees for minor uses like pulling up directions. They're paying closer to $10 for 200MB of international data which is sufficient for a months worth of mapping activities.

I wonder if that has more to do with the availability of WIFI, for example, every mall and coffee shop and a lot of restaurants have free WIFI heck even the TTC has it in all the stations, I even noticed the other day on a TTC bus WIFI labelled TTC piolt it had no internet access when I connected to it but it seems like the TTC is moving aged with having WIFI on surface vehicles.. Go transit is now testing it on trains and has it in most sations. When I was in Australia in January last year free public wifi was either slow or hard to connect to or non-existent nor had to be paid for to use.

All the argument against putting GO lines on the same map ignore one point: we are not asking for a map with all different transit systems. We want a RAIL transit map in the GTA. Period.

I was thinking about why that distinction today, and what it comes down to is that rail transit tends to be a 'level above' bus and other transit. It gets you to where you're going in the fastest and most direct way in most instances.

That being said, agreed on the preeminence of a rail transit map, but separate bus maps that would ostensibly include subway too, but as other posters have made clear, in Toronto's case all of them can be put on a map and still be clearly legible. Of course the size of the map would have to be a factor.

In some ways, UPX is a life saver for the TTC when the subway service in the west-end goes down. It should definitely be on any serious TTC map.

I bit my tongue when I saw Rob's comment, but I just knew someone would get triggered ?

Thank you. I just think being a real man means standing up for what you believe in. Glad we're on the same page.

Subway lines are ~17 pxiels wide while the GO lines are ~7 pixels wide. They need to be closer to the same level of thickness.

The TTC system map does show GO lines, but really it ends at Toronto's border. I was thinking more of a regional rail map into the surrounding GTA municipalities.

Really maybe it should be a regional "rapid transit" map including things like the Viva and the Missisauga transitway too. It'd be a guide of how to make long distance trips across the GTA, the transit equivalent of a highway map. Again this would be a job for Metrolinx, not the TTC.

Just saw a Crosstown LRV being unloaded at Mount Dennis facility. Looks like it came in on a yellow flatbed truck/trailer.
The joys of riding the UPX!

I don't think we're on the same page at all, but ok lol

What in the hell happening here that a full closure is require for 2 months??? Building tracks across an intersection can be done one weekend with no turning allow.

​ Invitation: Leslie Intersection Town Hall Meeting

​ Join us at a community meeting to learn about upcoming construction works that require a two month closure of Leslie Street at Eglinton Avenue East in July & August 2019. Closure details including TTC impacts, pedestrian access and construction schedule will be presented, followed by a Q&A period. Date: April 4, 2019 Time: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Venue: Japanese-Canadian Cultural Centre, 6 Garamond Ct. Parking available TTC access: 34C EB, 34A WB, 100 NB, 25 SB.

Wow... this is going to ruin transit and traffic in the area. Leslie is the ONLY option for heading north when traveling on Eglinton right now (Between Bayview and the DVP)

I bet Metrolinx will back track on this when they get an earful from the local community, just as we saw with the proposed Bathurst & Eglinton closure.

There’s still a bit of work to go, but this box area directly under the Eglinton-Don Mills intersection will house the platform for Science Centre Station

Surface rail installation has started on the eastern portion.
