This looked really intriguing. They're stackable 100-square-foot living spaces that are, apparently, easily deployable. They seem adapted to singles or to student dorms. Or even as part of a social program for the habitually homeless, i.e. as an ownership-oriented alternative to shelters. A...

Love these, and finding myself digging for a way to do something to support them.

+1. And +1 to lunches in schools, too. We could also be doing a lot more to encourage more jobs to move to neighbourhoods, rather than staking everything on people trekking halfway across the city to get to where jobs are at. I was reading something about creating sales-tax-free zones for...

It's me that argued for the lowering of GO fares. But I mean, I guess, on average. Charge by as-the-crow-flies kilometres (and, I agree, charge for parking), on the same scale across modes, and based on a rate that would keep the longest-haul fare within the 416 relatively constant and drop...

The whole discussion was about radically dropping GO fares so that they're equal to TTC fares -- by distance. The above begs the question. Really? Anecdotal: in every financial-district job I've had, the highest-income professionals either walked or streetcarred (younger folks in condos), or...

Saw that Toronto Life profiled one of these. And that two more units, at the west end of this project, look to be under construction.

You skipped the part where you explain what you're on about, and passed straight to name-calling. Charming.

Agree. Adding intermediate stops will help, too -- I can see the Barrie Line (need a better name) being a lot more useful to folks on weekends when it stops at Lansdowne/Bloor subway and Caledonia/Eglinton LRT.

With modern computing power, we will finally solve the Drop Transfer problem for hot subway-to-GO swaps. And, of course, the Ejector Seat Transfer challenge going the other way. Bombardier has the trap doors covered.

This. Charge per kilometre. Let people choose the mode that best fits their trip.

I agree with the first sentence of the above. But I think the rest is far too wrapped up in drawing an invisible line between the 416 and 905. GO trains are at good at long-haul trips. Subways are good at medium-haul trips. And so on. Making the longest-haul mode free is a bit...

Devil's advocate: wouldn't that be a good thing? Don't we want people taking transit, both instead of driving, and instead of overcrowded rush-hour subways? In suburban-style areas, it seems to me that UberPool-type service will make it more and more feasible to decouple GO train ridership...

Make GO trains free, set GO parking prices at the cost of a round trip to Union Station. Put a cafe and a gym at every GO train station. Create a default rule allowing up to six storeys within a kilometre of every train, subway, and dedicated-ROW transit station.

This seems like utterly the wrong question, because it sets up a zero-sum game as between transit agencies. The right question would be: Can public transit gain more riders? (Or, for the moat-focused: Can public transit gain more riders in the 416?) Or even: can public transit gain a greater...

Aren't there here-and-now measures that can be taken to start to shift traffic off the Yonge line in the meantime? For instance: - Lower GO fares to subway fares -- including free transfers -- within the 416. - Lower the Presto rush hour fares for north-south routes that aren't the Yonge line.

The proposal above was for an RER that interconnects and continue on the RH route north of Eglinton, I'd thought. Those neighbourhoods are well south of Eglinton. This is readily remedied and, arguably, ought to be. I mean, either we continue to run the RH GO line north of Eglinton -- whether...

Is it weird that http://www.ttc.ca/Riding_the_TTC/Points_of_interest/Post_secondary_institutions.jsp calls out the Finch East bus from Finch subway, but not the Don Mills North bus from Don Mills subway? Does the Don Mills bus stop too far from the campus?

Had to be up at North York General with a parent lately and I have to admit I hadn't realized the extent of the missed opportunity here. Why wouldn't they haveh integrated Oriole, Leslie, and an enclosed, wheelchair-accessible path into NYGH?

I see that the population numbers are for 2011. Wouldn't the Sheppard numbers have changed a fair bit since then -- condo construction, etc?
