    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I grew up in suburbs full of cul-de-sacs in Kingston, much of it 1950s/1960s. Pedestrian short-cuts everywhere. Walking was much faster for some trips. The concept was hardly new. But this has nothing to do wlth Line 6.

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    I don't believe there's any plans to remove either of the parks south or north of the airport. Though if Billy Bishop were to go, it would be a great location for high density residential! Does anyone really need that we need yet another park there?

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    I've just caught a taxi at the taxi stand (which I wish wasn't at the far end of the loop). Huge lines for Porter at YYZ? It's annoying if they are flying in/out of the T2 Satellite gates, but the small plane size and 2×2 configuration seem to have pretty short lines getting on and off.

    Interesting ... I certainly smell it in the outdoor subway entrances in New York City.

    Are you super sensitive to smell? Hmm, my wife is ... I should ask her.

    I get the occasional whiff of something - especially when someone is still living there. But I don't notice this on most vehicles.

    I doubt it would! A no starter I think!

    Which line is being abandoned? I think it's too late for the (CP) line along Arbutus.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    I'm not aware of any UP express trains. I don't believe they were asking about GO or VIA services. You could simply have answered that "all UP trains currently stop at all stations along the line except Etobicoke North", instead of sending someone to figure out they need to consult 2 schedules...

    Which has no relevance to a question about skip stopping on the UP Express. That's the second time you've tried to gaslight us today.

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    You literally quoted a comment about cost. The comment was follow-up to your own post: Please don't try and pretend that's not what you said, simply because the facts suggest you were not correct. Is it? The Blackpool Flexity which was the basis for design, is designed for 25 metre curves on...

    Which isn't related to the TTC Flexities being cheaper than the Citadis. Surely that the Flexity is cheaper suggests that the curves are not a huge issue. As we've discussed, the curves that were identified for upgrade as part of the first round of bidding (where all bids were rejected) was a...

    Teach them to fish them. Tell them which two schedules they need to compare to answer the question. Don't just tell them they should go fish.

    They are a lot easier to read, and from further a way than the LCD screens on the subway platforms. I've seen similar in much bigger cities, on platforms. Keep it simple.
