Didn't Edmonton try (and fail) with CBTC on the surface with the Metro line?

It'll be interesting how the Ontario line is when it finally opens. It's totally new and different technology compared to the other...

Except that's not really possible without rebuilding the stations. There's not really clearance below to lower it. There's clearance...

No, but the tunnel itself is quite large, there's ample room for something like Montreal's MP-10. The underground stations though are a...

OC transpo released some numbers today Line 2 and 4 usage (combined but almost entirely line 2): 24.4k trips, which would put it...

Ottawa also runs theirs on twice the Line 6 nominal voltage (1 500 V DC for Ottawa vs 750 V DC for Line 6) which not only allows the...

That's actually a good point that I hadn't thought of, pokey acceleration isn't one of the flaws that people complain about here

Are there any heaters on the platform? In Ottawa the Line 1 platforms are open, but the Transecure area (aka DWA) always has heaters and...

I've been reading back in the thread, just for "fun." It's pretty crazy to read comments from Summer 2023 when January 2025 was a...

Smartest person in the room here. Thank you for pointing out the obvious. All this attention on TSP, and its great, because TSP is...

Far side atops actually make sense, when you combine them with TSP, the train glides through a green light and then waits on the far...

What I don't understand is, ignoring TSP, why is it so much slower than the bus. The bus has to wait at all the lights too. You'd expect...
