    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    At least they could have shown Ontario line in one colour on that map. A passenger doesn't care what portion of the line is underground and what portion is elevated. Science Centre station seems even north of Downsview station on Line 1 in that map. Of course, Line 1 extension built half a...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    If GO can cover Barrie to Union in less than one hour, that gives it an average speed of about 100 km/hr. That sounds unrealistic even for an express service. I remember long back seeing the new proposed times for every route in this thread. It will be great to get our hands on that again...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I am referring to the average speeds that include stopping time. EMUs can accelerate fast and achieve high average speed without high top speed. Also, dwell times make a difference. An average speed of 80-90 km/hr including stops would be a good target. That sounds fast to me but I don't...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    These types of trips are usually off peak or counter peak and of course these are always a fraction of peak demand. Even if GO is able to absorb all of such potential off peak demand, that will still be far from enough to triple the ridership. The question is how much of peak demand GO is...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I am thinking as a devil's advocate for a moment. Will increase in services be enough to increase ridership by that magnitude? It's not like GO trains are packed and people are not using it because there is no space for more riders. Many who want to use GO for their office commute are already...

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    30 more storeys will take close to 400 meters high. Sounds unrealistic.

    Toronto Toronto | 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    Yes, I have. Still not a fan of it.

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    Which is a good thing. I don't want this building to represent Toronto in supertall category.

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    In BC, they have banned the practice of skipping floor numbers for that very reason. People believing in these things don't realize that the floor you think is the 5th floor is actually 4th floor and so on. In the building where I lived for some time, not only the floor ending at 4 and 13 were...

    Toronto Toronto | CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Imagine tourists trying to take photos of CN Tower here 😂

    Toronto Toronto | 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    I would be in the outlier list as well. This building doesn't look bad to me but in my books, it's nowhere near CIBC Square or the old bank towers in Financial District. It's an average looking office building for me.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    In that case, it makes sense to quote a previous post or give a reference. Someone may have read the last page a day before and they might be following more than a hundred threads. It's good to share context so that people can relate.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Of course, ridership will go up after the line opens. But how does that relate to Boston's LRT photos, map and traffic numbers?

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    If there are 2 trains from the opposite sides terminating at Union and sharing the same track and using their half of platform, how would people know which train to board? Will Metrolinx split them in the middle and rename them platforms 4A and 4B for example?

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    There you go, pooping on Scarborough again. I remember you were warned by @interchange42 for making such sarcastic comments a few days ago.

    I live next to route 35 and 7 and I see these old buses more than the new buses on these routes. I would love to see the old ones gone.

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Yeah, that's fair. On the positive side, this will be a good place to take skyline photos.

    Toronto Toronto | 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    You can't reconstruct this building, BUT...... I have a scheme for your friend. Ask him/her to dig the ground around this building. Like a big and really wide trench surrounding the building. That way this building will become higher compared to ground level and voila, you got yourself a taller...

    Are these buses getting replaced? - https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/mississauga-city-bus-miway-system-called-44860842.jpg I am not a fan of this old colour scheme.
