    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Does anyone know if there is a penalty or loss of funds for inactivity on the Presto card? Due to the YRT strike, I have had to drive to work rather than take YRT and GO into the city since the stike began and won't be able to again until it is over.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Are there any directional signs on the sides where passengers will enter? Coudn't see one in the video. I think they would be needed especially on routes where more than one line travel (i.e. 504/505). I know that people in a rush off the subway needing to board the streetcar fast before they...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I take the GO Bus to Richmond Hill from Union and when we stop at Langstaff, the majority of passengers on the bus disembark, many of whom walk the long walk to the Richmond Hill Transit Centre to board connecting YRT buses. Is there a reason why the bus does not also stop at the RHC in the new...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I agree with liamdevlin02 - they should consider adding more trains to the Richmond Hill line. I thought that the Yonge extension was a no-go since the push by the city and TTC is for the DRL to be built first - and we all know that it won't be in our lifetime - so all the more need for more RH...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    I agree - I have been using the Presto card since it came to my GO station and it has been very useful. I had the default set to Union and Richmond Hill at Customer Service at Union. No problems at all. It does save trying to find the change for TTC and GO and lets me bypass the lineups at the...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Since moving to Richmond Hill 5 years ago, I have seen a steady increase in ridership of the Richmond Hill line to the point that the trains are full (standing room only) by the time they leave Langstaff. To add another station further north will not (in my opinion) ease the congestion on the...

    GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

    Taking the GO train as I do, I think the changes will be a vast improve to what I see there now. It's dark and dingy. The atrium and concourse changes and additions will hopefully bring the station into the 21st century. For a structure that is so vital to the transportation needs of the GTA...

    North Downtown Continues To Boom

    That CP line cutting through the middle of the city woud be an ideal GO train line to help move people east-west and help offset the crowding on the Bloor line. Not everyone travels south to work!

    There is so much potential in this city with respect to architecture, facilities and transit................the question is will we ever have civic leaders with a vision to fulfill it all? Not at least in the next four years, IMHO!
