I'm not talking in 10 years but decades from now. I am also not talking about going underground but rather elevated so the entire line is grade separated. Such a little spur would allow construction of elevated structures going into the tunnel at Kennedy without any disruption to the current...

Needless to say eventually ML is going to have to grade separate the line from the DVP to Kennedy as ridership climbs and the at-grade portion simply won't be able to run as frequently. Keeping that in mind..............question............will the underground portal into Kennedy have a side...

I agree that these are no inconsequential amounts but was that a comparison of electric buses to LRT or standard diesel? Also remember that Ottawa never employed the full benefits of BRT including total POP, double articulated buses, electric buses, and most of all the underground tunnel.

I agree that the technology is still in it's infancy and there are some bugs that still have to be worked out. That said, the rate of battery technology development is truly dizzying and within even 10 years, batteries will be exponentially smaller, more powerful, have far longer range, require...

I am starting to wonder about the relevancy of reduced maintenance savings costs that LRT has over buses. Remember the rail industry likes to toot those savings but when doing so they they compare LRT to DIESEL buses. According to Proterra in a study for OCTranspo, electric buses have...

No one in their right mind is going to use Eglinton as a crosstown route. It's too slow, an unreliable. In the southern part of the city people {assuming FULL fare integration} will use lakeshore RER and hopefully, at some point, the Midtown line.

The TRBOT is exceptionally efficient, easy to understand for the travelling public, makes the best use of all infrastructure, and gets rid of these imaginary boundaries. I think of the biggest issues with getting it off the ground is not the plan itself but the boundaries and primarily...

Why shouldn't they concentrate on the main routes? These are businesses just like any other not non-profits. If the demand was there then they would serve these rural routes but it isn't. As for comparing them to trains, these companies are not "stealing" riders from anywhere. They are...

I don't blame these people at all. Seriously, why would they expect trains in their neighbourhoods just because they live beside a train track?? Ford should just cancel the whole damn project and let Toronto pay for it all and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if he did. He has no seats from...

Megabus will introduce a lot of new services but they will learn from Greyhound's mistakes and provide service on the most profitable of routes. The time of having a bus service to every little spot on the map are over and rural Canadians are going to have to accept that. A Toronto-London...

Personally, I thank God for people like Musk. He is an arrogant, self-centered little prick but we need people like him who are willing to look completely out of the box to tackle the daunting transportation needs this planet will have to confront in the 21st century. Although I am certainly...

Hopefully none of these proposals will see the light of day and BB could finally be shut down and turned back into the parkland it once was.

This is why I think ML is going to have to divide the line in 2 basically requiring a transfer at OSC to go from one rain to the next. This means that the slow and accident prone at-grade section won't inhibit the much faster, reliable, and frequent central/west sections.

Yes I know the central part will be underground as it should be but the rest should have been elevated. The CT has too many stations both at grade and underground adding to the costs for little return. Also the underground stations themselves had to be made significantly larger than needed than...

Late and over budget, who would have thought? Wasn't one of the reasons for LRT was that it was more affordable and easier to build? I guess that theory has been blown out of the water. Elevation is far easier and faster to build and far less disruptive on local roadways because, unlike median...

This is unfortunate but , although it may play well in the political sphere, the reality is that this is 100% the fault of the City. RDP was announced years ago but since that time the City has done squat so their promoted notion that they desperately needed the area for a park fell on deaf...

With Eglinton West now a go and obviously resulting in higher ridership, do you think that ML will begin to operate the section from DM to Renforth as a Metro and then east of it as an LRT essentially creating 2 different lines? The at-grade section is going to seriously effect how frequently...

Thanks for the info. So now that this is basically just a development { admittedly with a decent greenspace and public realm} who is going to foot the bill and what is the timeframe?

This is a glorified walkway but not a park. Light years ahead of what it looks like now but a real opportunity missed. I am curious however, this is just the planning dept isn't it? Seems Tory is against it and doesn't it have to pass City Hall before approved? Also this only goes to BJ Way so...

When we will find out the exact dimensions of the stations themselves because with automated system that can run every 90 seconds, that is all that really matters.
