I totally agree. Toronto needs a 180 turn on it's urban realm. Yonge Street should be at the very top of the list but also Queen, King, John, Ossington, and Kensington. They should all have their sidewalks doubled in width and some parts completely pedestrianized. That's the shame of Toronto, it...

Under regular circumstances I would agree with you but Finch, and soon Eglinton, are not normal. There is nothing a politician loves more than a nice juicy ribbon cutting ceremony. This is why they always show up at them, it's a political win. Finch, however, has been quite the opposite. It...

Toronto is a lot of things, good and bad, but bland is most certainly not one of them. Toronto is an incredibly dynamic and interesting city. Montreal is certainly more bohemian and has the historic architecture to die for but it is not nearly as interesting a city as Toronto. Toronto is a...

Well that's what should have be done in the first place but it's too late now. That, however, does not mean this line cannot be salvaged as all it takes is some political will. First, get rid of some of these stops along the eastern portion. It should have the same, or even less, the stop...

Seeing GO is still claiming they want to electrify the fleet, why on earth would they want the North Star diesel ones?

That's very true but rapid transit, like roads, are only as good as their weakest link and Eglinton has 9km of weak link.

The reasons ML/TTC/City put forward as to why they need so many surface stations is completely illogical. Why are the underground stations further apart than the surface ones? If one can walk the longer distance to an underground station, what is the logic behind them not being able to do the...

You can't get the rapid transit speeds with the ridiculous number of stations on this line. A MINIMUM of 4 of these stations should be closed preferably 6 or 7. The reality is that it can be done but that would require Chow & Company to grab a pair and make it so. They can run a bus every 20...

Until this line get to, at maximum, 25 minutes then it's been a waste of time. Of course even 20 minutes is more than possible if the TTC stopped being afraid of hitting every unexpecting mosquito, Chow finally puts her money where her transit loving mouth is and does 100% transit priority so...

Then why is this considered a PPP? Why isn't the TTC doing the maintenance and for the vehicles, why not Alstom? This doesn't seem like a partnership but rather the province writing a private company a cheque which they instead could be writing to the TTC. This is probably why the Canada Line...

Yet another update.....Dec/17/25 Siemen's Mobility has just won a contract to supply Germany's Westphalia Region with 61 Mireo Plus Battery trains to ply on it's regional rail system. These 2 car trains {total length 50 meters} have the ability to run 120 km free of recharging. That is, of...

I'm curious, seeing Eg & Finch were both PPP, how much money did the private company {Mosaic?} have to put down for the privilege of running the route?

They should get rid of 5 of these stops. 18 stops on a 10.3 km line is ridiculous. Remember this was suppose to be RAPID transit. The stop on Yonge between Eg & Law is 1.5km and they manage so what make the people along Finch, and ditto for oncoming Eglinton, so damn precious? The fewer the...

I think there will be MASSIVE political pressure to get this line up and running before the World Cup and ditto for speeding up Finch. Even so, if Finch doesn't make the route within 25 minutes at a maximum, it is a complete waste of money. These lines of once TransitCity were advertised as...

And that is different from Chow how?
