    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Niagara also badly needs something better than whatever WEGO is, buses should run every 10 minutes or less on the green line.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    As mentioned above it doesn’t work, everyone assumes the entire train is as full as their part so they see no reason to move.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Yeah it sits there for roughly 25-40 minutes depending on what trip it is, people do not move. There are station attendants with megaphones, and the CSA is making multiple announcements, people do not move. Niagara is beyond signage, it needs a new design, it’s the only way to help rectify the...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Niagara GO station suffers from an extremely poor design of only having half the train stop near the station where everyone is, and the other half where nobody is. Because of this nobody moves down the platform as they expect the train to stop along the full platform, which causes people to...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    I made a digital version of the Presto covers that were available yesterday at Caribana if anyone couldn’t get out to get one, you can just print it through a company using this:

    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    I am 100% sure they will be doing what FrontRunner in Utah does, and they have full level boarding with Bi-Level equipment

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

    I don’t think so, early renderings from years ago showed canopies but I have a feeling that their priorities are in other places right now. I don’t think a canopy is necessary until/if the East and West concourses are built.

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

    The Canadian has rarely ever needed to use an entire platform, there’s been few cases where the Canadian was 30 cars long and they were all years ago, so having a platform be that long for a train that rarely reaches that length is unnecessary.

    Both are happening (the platforms may be long in the first photo, but besides the Canadian they are never used, in the new design they will be):

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

    The new South platform is 863 metres long split into 4 platforms (2 bay 2 through), each of the 4 can support around 14-16 car long trains. Remember that GO will be running shorter trains after GO Expansion (probably 4-6 car trains with some 8 car trains), so there is enough room to double...

    Here’s the current platform layout at Union done in the same style as my other map above if you’d all like to compare the two:

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

    Double birthing hasn’t been confirmed yet, but consider that the early design of the reconfigured platforms show a lot of them being extended, and pair that with most GO trains getting shortened significantly and running more often after GO Expansion, and you can probably see why I’m expecting...

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Found this random 2011 Niagara business case that showed a much more ambitious plan for GO Transit service to Niagara: I also added the Niagara stations to my Unbuilt GO Transit map, changed the shape of Lake Simcoe, and added the tourist line that ran in Quebec in the 80’s. This GO map now has...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    The morning train still doesn’t need 4 bike coaches, that’s an absurd number and it’s strange that they didn’t evenly distribute the 6 bike coaches between the two consists.
