They don’t even have the Vision system used to track surface vehicles. I’m sure it’s not that hard to figure out if they want to but I suppose the route manager uses the signaling system for location like the subway instead of gps for surface routes?

That's definitely a lot of ground that can be used to lower the roadway to grade separated the tracks

If you go to Transit Toronto and look at the history of the 7 Bathurst route in the late 70s when the Spadina subway opened, you can see they did a similar arrangement with that route. One branch between Steeles and Wilson Station (this became the 160), one branch between Steeles and St Clair...

I’m sure that’s a criminal offence. They can just charge them under the criminal law and it’s enough to arrest them but again, will they do it.

They are just fooling the uneducated public while profiting on new innovations. I'm sure many places are using fossil fuel to generate the electricity to charge the batteries on top of all the emission created while they deliver the raw materials and while manufacturing these EVs.

Using an EV would reduce emissions within the park. Activists will see that as a plus but we know gas just blows around.

GPS can be wonky and you know that from vehicle tracking. However how can train detection need LiDAR and advanced tech when the functional signaling system already knows where the trains are. If this ML/Crosslinx contract doesn't allow the city to use that signaling system for traffic signal...

Siemens got screwed when BBD underbidded them by a significant amount to win the original TTC streetcar contract. That mothballed to ML getting Flexitys as it was TTC's contract option reassigned to ML. ML then allowed ION to add their share onto that option resulting in Flexity's on TTC's...

A bus provides enough capacity over night. Pretty much all streetcar routes can be replaced by buses but they need to keep the streetcars out for yard constraints issues. The way how the LRT lines operate is they are part of the "subway". Probably to give the hillcrest route mangers some down...

It really depends on location. If there's more left turning traffic compare straight traffic like Eglinton/Leslie, then all the left turning vehicles will back up and block straight traffic lanes. Leading left would be better in this case. If left turning vehicles are often stuck behind a queue...

I'm glad they move to a lagging left, it's more efficient than a transit only inserted phase. However if a train arrives after the lagging left phase started, they should insert a transit phase to allow trains first. They really need to speed up the speed allowed through the intersection.

Line 5 is only useful if you destination is on line 5. If it's the airport, you'll have to wait for the UPX anyways so better off with GO. If you need to get to the 52 Lawrence West corridor, it is almost always better to get the 52 from Lawrence West Station. Man getting to Mount Dennis...

They aren’t part of TTC’s maintenance program. The map specifies subway and subway only

The intersection is not a park. That's what is around it. Being a slope, they can easily build retaining walls to keep the track in place leading to the intersection while the lower the grade to match the parking lot to the south. The tracks on the intersection itself can be converted to an...

Maybe someone shouted that out that caused him to rage, trip and fell to his death.
