Absolutely correct. It wasn't created to assert control OVER municipalities but it was created to coordinate BETWEEN municipalities in terms of transit. The TTC/Miss/York should not have to deal with fare integration because that was suppose to be ML's responsibility which they have clearly...

I do know how P3s work but such things should have been put out as parameters BEFORE it went out to tender much like ML demanding that all potential systems have to be able to handle the standard gauge tracks that it already uses as opposed to allowing a bidder who wants to rip up all the...

When I say we don't know what the trains will be I'm not talking about the damn colour or even the manufacturer. I am talking about kind of trains they will be. For all we know they could just be the current jumbo trains they run now and just stick catenary on them. They could be double EMUs...

Listen kids, in 2014 Metrolinx announced the RER system and it's service will be each-way, all-day, 15 minute service. Now, 7 years later can any of you say you have been given any updates as to what that pertains?

This is what happens when you put out a tender for a massive transit project but don't put any specifications on the project to begin with. After 7 years of construction and talk, Torontonians still don't know what kind of trains they are getting, the technology they will use, or the fares...

If there is blame to go around then it should be placed squarely at the foot of Metrolinx. Not having the money is a complete cop-out. If they didn't have the money to already electrify the system then where the hell did they get the money to put up mega-parking structures?

Completely agree. The idea that anyone with a head covering in Canada is afraid to walk down the street is absolutely offensive. His warped desire to make as much political hay out of this tragedy is further proof that he is totally unfit to be PM. As far as London being a racist capitol, that...

Remember kids that "battery" run trains is a relative term. Catenary and hydrogen also run on battery power. It really is more of a discussion of how much of the trains you want to run on battery. I wouldn't agree with 100% battery trains only re-charging at their terminal stations. Batteries...

^^ Let's not get into this again. Battery trains are 100% catenary trains and have been around for over a 100 years. The only thing that that has changed is that now due to huge advancements in battery technology they are practical. A battery train is nothing but a catenary train with bigger...

In terms of removing freeways from American cities help fix them, well yes but only help marginally. They maybe replaced by some parks which is always better but the sad reality is that most of the damage is permanent. These downtown freeways not only displaced people and broke up communities...

A horrible event and one that was clearly targeted due to the family's beliefs. Imagine how that poor lone surviving child will cope with? Someone over on skyscraperpage lives just 200 meters from the attack.

This good news as at least it shows how the transit agencies see fare integration as an issue that must be overcome. Of course, the REAL issue is why ML has already done something, anything in terms of fare integration. They haven't even updated their website about integration since 2018. The...

ML, if it makes the logical choice of using battery trains on RER, could have the entire system electrified by the end of the THIS year. Hell it could have been done years ago if they put near as much effort into it as the did building mega parking garages that only a Texan could love. As I...

2025?.........outrageous! They have been building this system since 2014 and despite all the construction of track twinning, new & upgrades stations, over/underpasses, and endless Union upgrades, they still haven't stuck a single pole in the ground little alone even figured out what kinds of...

They could take lemons and make Lemon Aid and make this system as fast as a Metro but only if they give the trains 100% signal priority. There is absolutely NO reason why these trains should be stopping anywhere along the route to wait for any lights. Rail crossing guards and car U-turns would...

That's the crux of the issue. People wouldn't be near as upset with the line's many faults if it didn't take $5 billion to build and take over a decade. It's about value for the money spent and in this regard this line grossly under performs. The whole point of LRT {besides Miller not wanting...

The advantage of having the U-turn system on the roads is that they effectively turn a 4 lane road into 2 one-way streets. The vast majority of accidents on any road is due to turning whether that be left or right which is one of the reasons why one-way streets are so popular in congested...

Of course if Toronto & ML wanted to REALLY put transit users ahead of car drivers, they would use what supposedly car loving Albertans do and use rail guards which effectively gives them 100% priority. We know that will never happen but there are ways of getting around it. The problem is not...

No, Hamilton should not get a Metro. Hamilton's transit ridership is low comparing to it's major contemporaries of Kitchener and London.

I can understand those reasons but for a place like Hamilton, what exactly is the advantage of LRT?
