    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    Polar Bear Express branded FP-7 2002 has been sitting in the OVR yard, neglected for over a decade.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Wheel-Trans does exist but it doesn't always mean its a replacement for transit. Also, the qualifications to gain access to Wheel-Trans services are more than just "use a cane" or "have a walker". People with accessibility needs should still be able to use the system like an able-bodied person...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    It might not just be the holidays. There's no schedule changes published for Lakeshore East and West on January 3rd/4th/5th. So outside of rush hour, it will still be hourly service on weekdays/weekends. Those Kitchener trains are still running:

    You are mistaken and are giving him more credit than he deserves. Rob Ford didn't care about ridership numbers when he came up with the subway idea. Remember, he originally had nothing planned for Finch, then BRT-Lite and then all of a sudden a full subway line in a span of months. That kind of...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I'd like to set the record straight on this. The intention was to pillage the Finch West LRT funds for his Sheppard Subway extension. In no way was a future Finch West subway going to happen even if they got the votes. In fact Rob Ford only added the BRT-Lite proposal (that came before the...

    Sorry about that. The two Kitchener trains appear in the GTFS feed for the 4th and the following weekend.

    The two weekend Kitchener trains are still in the most recent GTFS feed (which was updated on Wednesday, when the new schedules were uploaded). In fact it appears they're running Christmas and Boxing Day, which makes sense since GO runs weekend service on stat holidays. As @WB62 said, early...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    They're incompetent because they decided to use an affordable technology that was well established globally? The opportunity to build a network for the price of a subway line (at the time)? The technology is good and corporate culture and operations can change. But nah, instead let's discredit...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    For the streetcar network at least, headway operation is something that Transit Control sometimes uses. It's because of this, and a lack of real world data to base a schedule on, I am not treating the schedule as anything other than a placeholder. This isn't to dismiss all criciticims, but I...

    And TTC ops have been known to 100% adhere to a published schedule. As others have mentioned, it is possible that this a placeholder value.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I'm amused at the number of people jumping to conclusions for a service that hasn't even started revenue service, let alone hardened. Let's wait and see (and note what improvements are necessary) before we start hating anything that sits at grade level.

    Maybe last weekend was special but in the early afternoon I saw 23 people board a 25K and 11 people board a 29 bus at the Kipling Bus Terminal.

    I'm guessing terminating the 68 at Allandale Waterfront didn't sit well with passengers.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    After looking at the Train Schedule changes page it appears these changes started this weekend instead of the 11th. Considering how often Barrie/Stouffville trips were cancelled due to "crew availability" in the past several months I'm guessing their solution is to just remove trips out of the...

    Looks like GO Transit is diverting the 21 Milton and 31 Georgetown buses to Port Credit again on Saturday:
