Will be awesome once it and the Meadoway is fully complete: can bike from Toronto Zoo to Harbourfront entirely on trails.

All the reasons above, and the most behind station is Eglinton/Yonge, which is kinda the most important station in the system. Another reason is when you do partial opens it leaves opportunities for journalists to say its a failure, etc because its slow etc (might not operationally be able to...

Great map, but disappointing how long its taken for them to put another part of track in. Probably the easiest thing in the whole GO Expansion project. How long will electrification take if we go at this pace? 20 years?

Im almost certain it was the first one. I took an LRC set out to Montreal with a friend visiting, he loved the train. We took the HEP set back to Toronto and he complained the whole time of headaches and feeling motion sick.

There is still room to put even way more of these style of racks in, its not an issue of space, just MX decided to stop at this number. Not only that, but its easier to get your bike out when its packed. On the old ones, when it was packed with bikes, and your bike was on the inside near the...

HEPs look like this LRC looks like this

glad to see they did this style of rack, they can fit way more bikes this way.

Are you in one of the HEP cars? It's mostly the trains. I find the LRC to be much better ride. The Siemens are apparently even better. The old HEPs seem to have really bad shocks, or whatever you call it on a train.

Id like to add too that a lot of the current "MUP" projects are "missing links" and sort of the last parts of connecting or completing trails. There were many trails that were built rather quickly in the 2000s and 2010's because they basically didn't interact with many obstacles. Now we are left...

....Because its already very frequent during peak hours....

LOL, you do realize that you can still take a train from Union to Pearson and vice versa every 15 minutes still. Just, one is express and one isn't. Very few people take the train to the airport for the purpose of travel from Weston or Bloor. That's why they are doing this.

If this isn't a Hyperloop i'm not taking it. Hyperloop, the ultimate April fools joke. Also, you should have called it the Big Move project. And abbreviated it to the BM project. No government would be silly enough to call their project the BM.

is anyone pushing for LRT though? I havent heard anyone call for LRT in over a decade.

Yep. Forever and always "Toronto The Good". The victorian puritanism ideologies of the past just reinvent themselves in some new way in the kin of the next generation.

To continue this, a report/study/request by the city went out 5-8 years ago about adding rail trails along MX owned rails, and they basically politely said to F*$% off. They said its not possible, without any sort of reasoning. I can't find this report of course now.

Exactly. No one likes to watch horses go round a track. They like seeing their horse win them lots of money haha.

The odd thing is I've tried repeatedly to get Google Maps to add both trails to Google Maps, painstakingly adding the "roads" with their editor, without success. They refuse to acknowledge this trail exists. So make sure when you ride it to have G-Maps open on your phone with routing turned...

Sounds like someone has already hit their head.... I mean its not a top priority but all it would take is a small shroud.

If we just electrified the two rails, it would solve every problem. No more trespassers and cheap and easy electrification. But I digress.

Top speed is 160kmh currently on the corridor
