I see that as the western leg of Line 3 personally. But not a terrible idea by any means either.

I've been on that roof! 🤫

That fills up the street nicely.

Caledonia's become my personal Line 5 favourite.

Would UPX, Line 4, 5, and 6 be overkill for Pearson? I wonder if Line 4 would simply turn south and simply terminate somewhere like Keelesdale station.

In my head ONR and OSR are the same, just branded to match their geography. But you can certainly merge the branding too and call it ONRail, for example.

He did give the party one of its best election results ever though. Yet, they still turfed him! Regardless, I think Avi will be a relatively effective leader, but it'll take a few cycles. He'll never be PM, but could enter a Broadbent level of success.

I really think the QQE “LRT” should serve as a model for what Toronto’s downtown streetcar network could evolve into. That means wider stop spacing focused on major intersections and destinations, level boarding, double-point switches, double-ended vehicles, and truly aggressive transit...

Just thinking out loud, but imagine if Ontario’s intercity rail network eventually evolved into something like this: Alto: a true high-speed spine linking Quebec City–Montreal–Ottawa–Toronto, via whichever corridor ultimately makes the most sense. VIA Rail Canada: Maintains non-Alto services on...

If it’s being treated as a higher-order line and shown on the subway map as such, I’m more curious why its hours don’t align with the subways'. I assume the same will apply to Line 5 as well? A 40-minute difference doesn’t really seem to serve much purpose and will likely inconvenience plenty of...

This is pretty much what I'd like to see. I'd also like to see Line 3 and the UPX eventually using the same technology, if not being interlined in spots. UPX should also just be a numbered subway line and continue past Union to at least East Harbour, but maybe all the way to The Beach(es). You...

A great podcast about this very thing... (it's an umbrella feed, so go back a few seasons) Who Broke the Internet?

I believe this has been moved to Jimmie Simpson due to overwhelming demand.

If Toronto didn’t already have a science museum, Ontario Place would be a compelling place to start. But the city does have one on an a spectacular Don Valley site — that will soon be served by two subway lines. Which makes this new proposal a good place to stop.

It turned out to be a fairly low-key, non-media and non-political affair — but it was still a lot of fun. Here’s a photo of me basking in the glow of it all.
