The Crosstown "Station Attendant Booths" are not for fare collection, but they are designed in such a way that the Station Attendant can have a good line of sight of the fare lines, and possibly (probably) even CCTV screens of other areas. Notice in the rendering above, there's no access right...

AFAIK this is how the above grade segments of the Crosstown are being built.

How much extra capacity do you think we would gain? Is it enough to offset the discomfort or whatever other issues may exist?

Um, ok, well, construction already technically started with the temporary relocation of the Kodak building, which is to serve as the GO ticketing hall. It's officially happening. It's in the Project Agreement (PA), which is the contract between Metrolinx/Infrastructure Ontario and Crosslinx...

The GO and UPX stations at Mount Dennis have been public knowledge for ages. http://thecrosstown.ca/the-project/stations-and-stops/mount-dennis-station I'm 99.8% sure it's part of the PA with Crosslinx to build the station.

It's not that they don't want players playing in the Olympics, it's that the owners don't get any of the revenue earned by the IOC, et al, but assume some risk by shutting down the season part way through, and injury risk (although insurance helps mitigate the contract burdens, there can still...

How do monthly passes and/or monthly capping systems work in jurisdictions with fare by distance?

Feels like there's like 5 different issues floating around this thread and nothing is really being kept straight. If the GO station remains there, it will be a tunnel simply because of the surrounding elevations. Just streetview it from King. Meanwhile, there's the King High Line which is...

The point is to offer redundant services to try to reach as many of the affected people as possible. If people don't get the memo, they complain. Apparently if they do too much to reach people, we complain. I won't use the app, but whining about it as a "waste of my tax dollars" is like the most...

But we're not rebuilding Kennedy. Well, not in that manner. The Kennedy ECLRT station design is well past 60%, and shovels are going in the ground any month to start construction on it. The design provides for easterly extensions of both the LRT and the subway. As much sense as it might make...

The app was developed by Crosslinx... which is, you know, the private sector, where all of the financial problems are supposed to magically disappear...

It's also mentioned under Background Report E, Appendix B - Transit Projects, page B-21 (22 in the PDF, project number 1006). Again, high level, but mentions eliminating the constraint between Kipling and Helen St.

Also, Line 2 will never turn up the Stouffville corridor.

It was included in the most recent TMP update...

You'll be expected to tap on at the next location, where possible. Like, say, if you're transferring to another route.

I would guess probably 95-100% of the people getting off southbound at Downsview to transfer to the Barrie line are going to Union.

I forget where the data is, but I'd assume there's more trains than there are stations on the Yonge line, probably BD too, than there are stations, at least during peak hours, if not always.

Even if it doesn't end up being art, per se, some sort of paint treatment would still be beneficial, whether it's painted solid red, or it's hatched, or whatever you call it, I think it's a wise move. Road murals last as long as the paint they choose to use does, so it will depend on cost and...

I think we're overstating the total time from VMC to Union if that chart posted by Richard White is correct, though. Downsview to Union shows as 27 minutes. Straight line distance is >13 km. VMC to Downsview is barely 7 km straight line distance. Yes, it curves a bit more than the southern...

Yes, this is the folly of endlessly extending subway lines into the suburbs. Subways aren't meant for long distance travel. That niche should be filled by commuter rail/RER as demand warrants. The people that continuously push for these subway extensions probably don't ride from Kipling to...
