I was on a Line 1 train between Rosedale and Bloor earlier and the train was losing power every few seconds it wasn't long after that they halted service between Bloor and Eglinton. The 512 was more reliable than Line 2 in the west end today, which was shut down much of the evening between St...

Let's also bring back the bridge into Earlscourt Park. Virtually extends the path almost 1km. Shouldn't have been removed from the plan in the first place.

I find it odd that people correlate Finch West's bad performance with the viability of LRT as a whole. You can argue that it's executed poorly, but to argue that it's not a viable form of transit in the context of Toronto is uninformed. At the same time this argument is just as shortsighted...

As someone who takes the 512 daily. It's actually pretty good. And when there are replacement buses ridership completely collapses. The difference is stark, people simply take alternative routes because they know it will be slower. After the route opened it was pretty slow, but after some...

Unless there was an abandoned LRT station at Kennedy, above grade and in the correct orientation. Oh, wait...

Ah! Honestly, it's for this very reason I feel as though we're making a mistake by not Quad-tracking the OL tunnel between East Harbour and Exhibition and adjusting the turning radii in that section to match mainline standard. Build a new intercity station at City Hall. A western section could...

What’s interesting about the Finch West LRT is that the 512 St Clair streetcar actually has the same exact average speed. Which is curious to say the least considering the nature of the corridors differ greatly.

I actually pondered this as well. Laval has a stop and I think Scarborough should get a stop somewhere near the 401 and Line 4 extension, it's on the way. Allowing those from North York and Scarborough, as well as people from York Region access the line without traveling downtown. After all, VIA...

You're right. I cited tea leaves as my source. lol But it seems with the recent changes to the UPX this could be a convenient route to take. A branch to the airport on the Kitchener sub and a branch up Jane into North York perhaps. Perhaps a branch every 15 mins to Union. Speculation of course...

It seems the tea leaves are pointing to the Ontario Line replacing the UPX along the corridor towards the airport.

Scarborough's main transit line was so neglected that it literally derailed and was shut down permanently. This argument fails to take into account the reality on the ground. How many routes in Scarborough exceed Hurontario's ridership? Comparing transit in Milton to Scarborough is just one...

The mistake was made when the McGuinty gov't decided to make the UPX focused on business travellers. At the time there was no additional stations planned along the route, and the province continually told residents of the City that the corridor was not for them. There was no direct connections...

I mean, for business travellers it's an extra 10 mins once all is said and done. But what about someone from St Clair and Old Weston? Currently this trip is 45 mins midday to Union. A trip from here is reduced to 15 mins, saving 30 mins. What about Woodbine? Local transit is 1hr 16mins, with...

I think it’s possible that Metrolinx is waiting until the Hydro Corridor along the route is buried before double tracking this section.

I keep hearing there's no space for another platform to service Milton trains at Bloor GO, but it sure looks like there's more than enough room. It would be really useful for Milton trains to have a connection here.
