    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Looking at the Toronto Pan Am Games map, wondering what will be done transit wise? Here are some of my points: - CIBC Pan Am Park (CNE). Probably too late now, but they really need to consider extending the Waterfront line deeper into the Grounds for BMO fields. Wonder if there is anyway they...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I have a question about the Waterfront streetcar line. Do you think it is possible for the streetcar line to ever expand deeper into the CNE grounds. Right now it essentially stops the back of the main convention hall, but it is still quite a walk away from BMO Fields. Can't they just tunnel...

    New Transit Funding Sources

    No party is going to campaign on raising taxes to pay for GTA transit. Remember this is the Provincial election, so they have to take their message to the far North of Ontario and other areas that won't be affected by better transit in the GTA. Whichever party gets elected will probably add...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Agreed. McCowan and Finch actually has some density that could use a Subway. McCowan and Sheppard is literally Canadian Tires and 2 small condos.

    TTC surface stop spacing

    I like Steve Munro's page, but he sometimes comes off as a old cranky man who just finds faults in everything. I do believe that 300-400 m spacing is good, but then allow for cases to be made certain stops to be retained. If the hospital/community fights really hard for this stop to be...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    But Ford is dumb enough to trust Lisi? Doesn't Ford already know that the media is on these 2 guys (even if the police aren't watching them as much)? Also, did this YouTube person compromise the case then by making their meeting public? Hope not, we need to bust Ford now!

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    I'd be impressed if Rob can even write himself a coloring book, let alone a bio or memoir.

    Neptis' Review of Metrolinx's Big Move

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Finch LRT and Sheppard LRT are no gos. With the re-introduction of the long artic buses, we may be able to go with BRTs. Not sure if these BRTs are the VIVA style ones, or just widening of lanes and adding diamond/painted lanes. I also wonder if by cancelling...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I guess here is where it gets tricky. On one hand, chances are Ford Nation was never going to vote for Wynne anyways, but you are right that it may anger them so they may vote Hudak even if they do not like him. I think Wynne should keep a low profile (as she is trying to do) until pressure...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    That is silly, I think it is more to do with equal sin than anything. Otherwise, our Judges won't be able to judge. So, yeah I have never done crack, or ditch work to meet up with gang members or drink, so I will cast my judgement :)

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Thanks MetroMan. You have returned! Are the cops ready to bring out the handcuffs yet for the Mayor? Only that will remove this guy from office. Thanks again for all you do

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    \ LULZ, sure it is because of Ford's 'misguided' subway vision that taxes are going up. Using Partisan scare tactics? Never knew I was living in Mid-West US. Where is Bachmann and Palin?

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Rob Ford is really channeling his inner Tea Party; appealing to his Christian supporters... wonderful.. sigh... very desperate.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Exactly! I think a lot of people are missing the point here. Tobacco vs weed vs Cocaine. It doesn't matter. Spending as much with drug dealers as Ford does, and lying and attacking the media has basically destroyed the credibility of the Mayor-ship right now. This is an embarrassment to the...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    You see, in Rob's world, if you get caught sleeping on the job, you deserve to be fired right away. Not going to work though when you are being paid on taxpayer's dime, well that is okay right folks? Ford should fire himself on the spot for leaving work early yesterday and not showing up to...

    Politics: Tim Hudak's Plan for Ontario if he becomes Premier

    I too am a bit confused. What I am reading is: - Cancel Big Move 2020 but keep its plans subway and GO train expansion plan (main component of Big Move 2020). - Cancel all LRT and BRT projects, and those savings, along with government savings through efficiency will help pay for the much...

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    I like your idea of turning Spadina into a LRT route. Pretty easy to do with the new streetcars. Reduce 2-3 stops (I like the stops you have on your map, mainly removing Sussuex and Richmond), add priority lights and we have a quick win that may draw a few more rides away from the subway...

    TTC: New Articulated Buses (In Delivery, Novabus)

    Still don't understand why Bathurst first. According to the TTC FAQ, Bathurst isn't even in the top 10. If anything, Jane St and Don Mills should get these; use these buses for the previous LRT plans that got canned. http://transit.toronto.on.ca/spare/0011.shtml 504 King/508 Lake Shore -...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    LOL how did the Feds banish the Provincial Liberals into irrelevancy? You do know the Province is still kicking in $1.4 billion to the project, probably the most out of all 3 levels of government. If this was really a direct attack on the Provincial Liberals, wouldn't Timmy Hudak be also in on...

    This X100. Exactly the reason why Hudak cannot be elected. He is just a child playing opposite day, but without a proper solution. Hudak knows how much more money the City's 3 stop subway will cost, but he will never dare raise taxes to pay for it (will be very unpopular with his base). Same...
