The Mark V, and Mark III, for that matter is very different than what the SRT had. Not to mention the Innovia platform is not bound to linear induction motors anymore, which was largely a poor fit for ice and snow. The Citadis Spirit would have been problematic whether it was built here or not...

Just ignore it like “Durham College Oshawa GO”.

They are building driverless EMUs right now for Vancouver.

Repairs of the hydro tower’s supposed to be three months apparently. They need to rebuild the whole thing.

I don’t know that they hid that for the Ontario Line. The reduction of Canadian content has been widely known. Also, as I’ve said before, Alstom is perfectly cable of building quality rolling stock in Thunder Bay, so I’m not entirely convinced we could get something “better”. If CRRC’s and...

A new clothing store has opened in the Hudson’s Bay, just the lower level. I’m happy because I have access to to the mall from the bus terminal again. There was a water main break last week. Apparently it was really bad? The whole lower level from the centre court to just before the food court...

Over a decade of underinvestment and later mismanagement has brought the TTC to where it is today. Those two mayors were absolutely awful for transit in this city.

Can just go north of Steeles to see how much of a thriving transit system private contractors have allowed York Region to have.

There must be a reason why the vast majority of tram systems still use overhead catenary. What problem are we solving with ground level system in Toronto. Seems like it would actually introduce more problems.

Again, what's the benefit here? Not having to see a couple of wires? That doesn't seem worth ripping out what we have that's perfectly functional and then putting in something completely new.

Yeah. It was also at the Richmond Hill open house I went to on Saturday. I thought about asking if they heard about the TTC’s fleet grounding, but I didn’t want to be a downer.

It was moving towards a platform and then suddenly sped up and crashed into a hydro tower according to a witness. The TTC recently pulled all of their XE40s due to an unintentional/unrequested acceleration. Makes you wonder if something similar happened here.

A lot of those are getting pretty faded and worn. I don't really have a problem with repainting them. Through Metrolinx also just awarded a contract last year to refurbish them. Don't know how far out that will be.

Serious collision involving YRT bus at Finch GO Terminal this morning. Injuries reported. GO buses detouring to York Mills.

Can’t wait to see one paired with a refurbished classic cab car. That’ll look quite odd.
