    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Exhibition Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    It means keeping moving. Common sense when they expect mass of people using the route during events.

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    You completed the entrie trip on a $3.70 base fare, and nearly maxed out the possible 5 hours (2 hr local + 3 hrs GO) transfer. You win. 😆

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    The retail podium hugs the streets. How is that towers in a park? This is towers in a park. https://maps.app.goo.gl/izGQYgaWT7cQqz5y9

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Should be road under rail. (page 7)

    Toronto Toronto | Park Lawn GO Station | 12.83m | 2s | First Capital | Hatch

    Why would commuters get off at Fairview unless there is some catastrophic accident on the DVP? It adds (estimate) at least 10min just to sit in the queue to Sheppard. If they have driven down the 404 and their destination is downtown, it makes more sense to hop on a GO bus/train further north...

    Toronto Toronto | Fairview Mall Redevelopment Phase 1 | 180.2m | 52s | Cadillac Fairview | Hariri Pontarini

    Sometimes I am confused by what is the optimal form of densification. While it is nice to have an animated street with street-front retail, we are also shown examples of moving pedestrain activity away from arterials as ideal. These examples are also from places in Europe where we seem to try to...

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    When you tap on GO, it gives you a new three hours transfer. By definition, any tap on local transit within those next three hours should be free. So for your example, one fare. (you will also have way more than two hours to complete the trip)

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    I wonder if this whole itinerary can be done with the base $3.70 GO fare: viva from Newmarket to Finch GO bus from Finch to Sheppard Line 1 from Sheppard to Kipling MiWay to South Commons Oakville Transit to Oakville GO

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    Those three already have free co-fare with GO.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    It looks slow, but that is around 7 minutes per 2km. It usually takes me 5 minutes to drive 2km on an arterial. The line has more than one stop for every 2km. Add in the dwell time at stations, the number makes sense. To compare though, line 4 takes 9min to travel less than 6km. The line has...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    We can keep both - name and route number. The same is used on bus and streetcar routes. I don't see how that's a problem for rapid transit routes. There are also large metro/train systems around the world (London, most rail lines in Japan) that use both name and number/colour, and they do just...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    It's not just the inconvenience to traffic. By moving the line to the south the line would be made completely grade-separated from Science Centre to Renforth. The decision would also been made before the portals were constructed so that they would be located on the south side. At the current...

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    Rhymes with a certain ramen joint that's nearby. I might just call it that. :)
  14. 1

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    I feel like they should have put the general Presto fare vending machine under the/a canopy.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Shouldn't it have the same /similar length? The site is mostly retangular in shape. It would be moving two sides to the opposite.
