You've obviously never taken a viva bus then. The drivers watch the pedestrian countdowns like a hawk and will actively slow down before the yellow light. They sit behind left turning cars at lights. And if you say these problems can be fixed, well, they can also be fixed for the LRT. Neither...

Really just shoves it in your face just how short Sheppard is.

That's just not true. They're about the same. (123.9cm/yr for Edmonton, 121.5cm/yr for Toronto) Edmonton is also a lot colder. No reason why what works in Edmonton can't work here. Also Line 5 test trains ran today, along with streetcar service. It's not an inherent problem with LRT.

This only relates to pedestrian crossovers, the ones with yellow flashing lights and the white "stop for pedestrian" signs. Drivers are still allowed to proceed once their path is clear at normal intersection crosswalks.

Crossposting from the GO transit thread:

Around 20 minutes to get from Highway 407 (3rd column) to Humber College (4th column). So, yes. Faster to go up to Highway 407 and take this bus to Humber College than to take Line 6.

It does not matter what the station name is, as long as it's unique. Following any other kind of rule is silly. Should we rename St. Patrick to Dundas West? Dundas West to Dundas West West? Whether TMU is an acronym also doesn't matter. If you were trying to get to TMU before the name change...

Honestly incredible how little green they have, in particular, compared to Toronto's 10 minute network. They can't even get the full length of Yonge to have 15 minute service 7 days a week.

https://social.opendesktop.org/@winghongchan/113794872181648334 Speaking of complaining to Regional Council, YRT doesn't have GTFS communication for cancelled buses. Writing an email or two to get the ball rolling might be worthwhile. There are also plenty of other low hanging fruits worth...

Aurora is building a MUP on Yonge Street from Bloomington Road to the GO train bridge. https://engageaurora.ca/yongemup

Looks like YRT is installing new displays at VIVA stops. Unfortunately these seem to already be unreliable - these two pictures were taken at 4:24, one of the displays is stuck at 2:38 pm. The displays appear to be e-ink/e-paper based on the way they refresh. The choice to use 24 hour time and...

YRT has released their 2025 service initiatives. Pretty substantial service increase, with major frequency improvements, new on demand services, and new school specials. Unfortunately YRT remains allergic to clock face scheduling and timing buses for GO trains...

The exhaust could be potable!
