And I hate to break it to you, but the average person using the TTC also doesn't care about the type of rolling stock that runs, or the colour of the vehicles, or the numbering/lettering conventions, or the naming conventions, or the types of announcements and digital signage. Should we also...

For what possible reason should we do this, if we have the room to create more track? Why would you intentionally handicap your system like this?

And taking the Yonge-University-Spadina line to Downsview station. Both of which are still names I use for the record, Sheppard West and Line 1 is for children. 🤣

I don't dispute that the traffic situation makes it so that diverting the bus down to Lakeshore West is going to deliver time savings, I'm on board with that. I just object to the removal of service between Milton and Meadowvale GO specifically. It's a roughly 30 minute trip now, after the...

Fair enough, but the redirecting of the Milton service to Oakville is just a quasi-revival of the old route 20 which was discontinued due to "low ridership" 4 years ago. What's changed now that we've gone from axing the service, to having all service from the station in that form? According to...

WTF were they smoking with the 21 changes?! So someone who wants to travel from Milton to Meadowvale can... go all the way down to the lake and then back up???? Or are these bozos going to institute all day service to Milton on the 27??? What a shockingly terrible organization. Get these...

If you have not noticed, your cousins’ survival is not in the balance here, so I’m not sure how you think this is some kind of gotcha. People react differently when living their day to day lives than when their lives or country or city or way of life is under attack. Furthermore, I'm disturbed...

Boomer moment

Being cheap is not something exclusive to governments. Everyone is afraid of spending a cent more than they need to in this day and age. Governments because they're afraid of backlash from the "taxpayer", and the private sector is equally afraid of compromising shareholder value. The art of...

Is that not what they have digital destination signs for?

Is there any reasonable location where one would be able to record trains going over the diamond? I have had a look on google streetview and haven't been able to find anything satisfactory. Does such a thing exist?

I would like to be proven wrong, but let's perhaps temper our expectations for DB. They seem to do well enough in Germany, but I suspect GO Expansion will be delivered by a subsidiary of the company like Arriva. And the thought of anything like Arriva coming to take over GO should be adequate...

Great, now tell us about the rest of the continent.

What does it mean for a train to be “zoomy “? Yes, we should consider ourselves fortunate for the PSD. With a more worthwhile train design they might even be a shame.

^ I suppose you'd have no issue, then, if your train pulled up to the station coated in grime, with peeling, chipped, or faded paint, or with visible rust spots, provided the interior was maintained to a certain standard? Not that the interior is anything to write home about, either. There's a...

I miss the original Scarborough RT kinder egg livery. There was an elegance to it. I didn't mind the airport express wrap for the Orion VIIs, but I never felt quite at home with the light blue for line 3, I find in anything but clear sunlight it looks rather gaudy. Still better than what has...

This is the first I'm hearing that the Second Avenue Subway took so long to build because it used legacy tech. Do you have a link to an explanation for this? It has always been my understanding that the problem was in the difficulty of building in dense neighbourhoods, the bedrock under...

I know what they showed before at Doors Open Toronto before, yes. What I'm saying is what they should do is show off McCowan for one last time as the facility will literally cease to exist in the immediate future. Showing off some new stations would be so pointless and disappointing, those are...

I think that anything but McCowan yard would be an awful idea for a transit related open house.

I wouldn't be surprised if it transpired that Metrolinx lowballed the costs of the OL, to give more legitimacy to the idea of the OL as a project. Costs do balloon, yes, but if they've literally doubled by the time you've got shovels in the ground, I would suspect your initial calculations were...
