Stupid box structure they couldn't be bothered to redesign to support another tunnel on top of it 🫠

Big difference if its just automatically braking with normal brakes or if the emergency brakes are misfiring. Magnetic emergency brakes stop the vehicle very abruptly and can injure riders on board, and potentially do damage to the tracks.

I doubt very many people will be taking it end to end but not because of a lack of demand, but because of a lack of speed. I living near Eglinton east of Kennedy, and traveling to KW a lot, would absolutely take the line end to end to catch the Kitchener train if it were fast. Unfortunately it...

There are plenty of street running LRTs with high floor vehicles and level boarding. Definitely not feasible on the Streetcar system anytime soon but i wasn't talking about the streetcars. Read the full message before you try and correct someone

It doesn't matter much until trains are operating near peak capacity, but high-floor trams typically also have faster boarding and alighting times due to more spacious interior layouts, allowing for shorter dwell times at stations. Don't see it being an issue on Hurontario or Finch, but I...

Interestingly, the existing Via station is also closer to downtown as the crow flies (Ottawa station-Parliment) than Summerhill is to Union in Toronto. On the O-Train it's only about a 12 minute ride. It's not exactly an ideal walkable location but it's not nearly as far out as many are making...

Someone needs to tell that to Metrolinx : )

Very late, but I think the transfer would be short enough that it's not really necessary. With all of the potential service impacts to line 1 would it could cause I don't think it would be worth it. I think the biggest benefit of interlining would be the connection between lines 4 and 6, but if...

If that was their excuse than why did hey allow it on eglinton?! (albeit on a very short segment)

At least in gravenhurst i know for the off season theres rarely more than 1 driver everyday at least from a single taxi service. Doubt the winter ridership would be enough to entice more taxi drivers. Summer is likely a different story but sucks for the people living there year round, especially...

The cost of taxis up there is insane. Paid 80 dollars to get from gravenhurst to bala about 20 minutes down the road in the winter. Not sure if prices are more competitive in the summer

Truly the worst map i ever made, I don't know what i was thinking with those colours. Failed retro aesthetic i think? Also this map just makes me think about how a network like this with BRT is so much more attainable with almost all of the same benefits, and then some. Inspiring me to update it...

If it has all day service it would certainly be faster than transfering to line 1 and again to the barrie line

Isn't line 6 shorter than the 36 in 2019? A sizeable portion of the riders would be east of keele

I heard a talk he was giving a few years ago to promote a new book on the climate crisis, but he didn't talk about the book. He just went on and on about Transit city and how it was visionary and so much better than the current provincial projects.
