I think so but I'm not sure. I don't know how much they are paying for those powered cars. The contract is valued at $670m USD for 58 power cars, 33 cab cars and 22 trailers. I don't know the price of each part.

Here is an article about the NJ transit order. I think the Hybrid consist is what will happen at GO because you can reuse the new cab cars and keep using the existing trailers, you would just need to buy 4 power cars per 12 coach train...

I don't see the problem. If there's no locomotive in front, then they are even safer.

I'm not convinced that GO should move away from the current crash safety standard.

If anyone is wondering what was said at the Planning and Growth Management Committee, here is the May 11, 2016 meeting. This part of property is talked about here: youtube.com/watch?v=LXzAY7EfYxE&t=106m40s Metrolinx speaks between 2:29:00 and 2:50:00 in the video. At the city council meeting on...

Wow, how did I miss that mistake? I have no idea, but its fixed now. Thanks for finding that.

Thanks for finding those, i have fixed the map.

I updated a map I made a few years ago. It's not the prettiest map ever made but its the best I can do.

It's so the emergency services can do this:

The extra station at Mt Dennis and St Clair should be possible but the Liberty Village stop wont have enough space for a station i don't think. On the stouffville part, there are a lot more stops and im not sure what happens to travel times with that many new stops. It may make the current users...

You design transit around peak usage. We already have an idea what the peak usage will look like because the GO trains are peak only, so lets take a look. Currently Ridership per weekday Total Train trips a day Trips AM peak (6:30am - 9:30 am) People per train (am) People per...

Ok, lets take a look at the Lakeshore East, morning peek. I count 13 trains that arrive at Union Station between 6:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Oshawa: 05:47, 06:12, 06:27, 06:47, 07:00, 07:15, 07:28, 07:53, 08:25, Whitby: 07:50 Pickering: 07:23, 07:55, 08:25 Using ALP-46 and Bombardier...

There is no Federal funds, maybe they will come, maybe they wont. I think all those extra stations will cost about the same as the spur on Eglinton. You are also forgetting fleet costs, GO my be going electric but the coaches are staying the same other wise why did they buy 50 new cab end coaches?

I think the most important part of that picture is that those projects are grey. Queens park isn't paying for them. If Smart Track is going to cost Toronto $5.2 Billion, how is it going to pay for it? Can Tory get Federal money? Given that there is also that yonge relief study, which i'm...
