    TTC: Streetcar Network

    I was going to say, that information is useless! They should update the average speed of each line at a set time every 24 hours.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Love this map! Can we do something similar for every other line and colour code the width of the line? Some stations along the Barrie line will be triple tracked, correct? I think I remember someone saying Rathburn station is triple tracked? This will allow for some level of express service up...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Have you guys learnt nothing about Metrolinx? A LinkedIn post is not a sure thing.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Have the folks at Metrolinx actually gone to Europe to see how trams work? I've already made multiple posts about how the LRT lines in Toronto lack two phase pedestrian crossings. Something that is common with a lot of tram lines across Europe. I'm back in London, England and I'm planning to...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The whole motivation behind constructing Transit City was to bring "European" style transit to Toronto. Yet lines 5 & 6 weren't even constructed to European standards. So the city can't even operate them in a European manner. Which in some ways defeats the very purpose of having constructed...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    Okay, now you've lost me on your proposal. I would never support sacrificing GO tracks for a subway, and I'm a very pro-subway guy. You're basically hedging all your bets on GO adopting ETCS. I wouldn't count on this. I like you're idea of extending the Ontario Line parallel with the Kitchener...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    You could split off the Ontario line in two directions west of Exhibition. One branch to the airport as @reaperexpress posted & another branch to Mimico. Build a station at Roncesvalles & Park lawn on the Mimico branch. Kind of what I suggested in my earlier posting. Except I prefer Reaper's...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    My only concern with this proposal is it can hinder any future widening of the GO corridor. One of the biggest complaints with the Ontario Line setup at East Harbour. This GO corridor could see Kitchener & Milton line (depending on negotiations with CPKC) service increases, along with a future...

    Hey man! I'm all for your suggestion! I was merely showing how one could possibly extend the Ontario line from Exhibition to Pearson airport. I'm definitely onboard with what you suggested in the ALTO thread. Build it! Does this mean we can scrap the GO "Smart Track" stations proposed along the...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Doesn't the Finch West LRT use more complex switches compared to the TTC's streetcars?

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    That was my thinking. I posted this in the "fantasy thread." I messed up the colours, it should be dark blue from Roncesvalles to Mt. Dennis. Once it reaches the future Woodbine station, run it above ground, parallel with the Kitchener line and have it use the existing UPX tracks leading up to...

    They keep adding stops to the line. May as well convert it to a subway. Make it an airport branch for the Ontario line.

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

    The line now really appears to cut a swath through the city. Probably even more so once construction is completed.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I don't think there is a single pro-subway poster on UrbanToronto that has advocated for a subway along Finch. I think most would rather have extended the Sheppard line westward beyond Sheppard West Station and build a BRT along Finch.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Metrolinx CEO, Michael Lindsay recently made comments regarding "teething issues" with the Finch West LRT. His comments focus solely on the issues with track switches in cold temperatures which cause delays and the line to shut down temporarily. Unfortunately, he doesn't address the line's slow...
