What would make reinstating OBRY better than creating a BRT line from downtown Brampton to Orangeville, with continuous bus lanes from Brampton GO to Orangeville? 15 Minute headway GO bus service plus paving the shoulders next time the road needs to be resurfaced would be vastly cheaper.

Once Brampton's Highway 50 MSF is complete, should Brampton start taking over transit in York Region? It feels like Western Vaughan might prefer Brampton levels of service.

The 2024 budget proposes 114 people added to provide 108.5k growth service hours, 35k service hours more than contemplated in the 5 year plan released less than a year ago. In addition to these 114 hires, Brampton Transit is also requesting permission to add 50 additional operators to add 0...

Algoma now exceeds the proposed TMU student body by this date. Brampton got the university, just run as a branch of a different university.

The Accessibility Advisory Committee Meeting will feature a presentation on the new bus MSF and it features extremely detailed site facility slides. I was unfortunately unable to attach the slide deck due to it being 48 megabytes I can't quite tell on some of the slides if they are moving away...

Probably a Zum bus running on the 7 Kennedy route. At this point BT will run whatever bus they think they need on any given route

On Wednesday BT is going to Committee of Council for RFP approval for the Chinguacousy Zum. Notably it plans to include significant bicycle improvements in the project. https://pub-brampton.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=98134 Timeline Cost

I trust Albertans to avoid getting killed by the Dayliner as much as I trust Floridians to avoid getting killed by Brightline. I assume them both to engage in suicide by train and that you need not just regular crossings, but quad crossings.

Don't forget that the VIA option via Brantford was something like a hour faster and came five times per day.

Every ratepayer in the City of Hamilton is benefiting from the LRT because the City of Hamilton was too impoverished to fix the infrastructure. This will allow significant redevelopment in the Lower City, working both as a slum clearance project, and to profit the City, as the increase property...

In the long term it will be essential for the governments of Ontario and Canada to plan and execute good rail service to Cochrane District to facilitate the recolonization of New Ontario. There is enormous agricultural potential centred on the Great Clay belt near Lake Abitibi, enough to...

My gut says 4 buses per day is the minimum number necessary to even consider studying the feasibility of implementing a train. Ontario needs so much more rural bus service, the situation right now is quite bleak. A route that I think has a solid near term business case is extending the Barrie...

Incorrect, the reason this is a viable for the City to do is that the rezoned use is only possible as a result of having acquired the land. The landowner is compensated for the highest and best use at the time, which does not currently include high density housing, due to deficient...

Another shortsighted act, that reeks of cowardice by the City of Mississauga. If they simply bit the bullet and expropriated the complete properties, they could later rezone the land and make a small fortune off of it. There are already HOV lanes from the Etobicoke Creek to Aukland Road along...

Unfortunately the engine for hybrid articulated buses is being discontinued and NFI has not yet released the newly redesigned articulated bus. This means the only new 60ft buses available for purchase are electric buses. This is going to cause difficulties for BT to significantly scale up the...

Here is a map from 1955 showing the road network in the southern part of Toronto Township (now mostly the City of Mississauga). It shows the Upper Middle Road running from Highway 10 (Hurontario Street) to what I believe is Hammond Road, just short of what is now Erin Mills Parkway. If we...

the 504 Chinguacousy-Steeles route is being turned into such an L shape for the basic reason that that demand past Bramalea GO is so high that in the morning full buses going eastbound are bypassing stops before Bramalea because traffic is bound towards Etobicoke, and in the evening people are...

Let me rephrase, the modelling for ridership always showed downtown Brampton being much more heavily an origin station in the morning, and a destination in the afternoon. There is an abundance of parking in downtown Brampton, the City owns in excess of 2000 spots. At peak demand before the...

The MTO has been adamant that Brampton's Boulevard idea is the very definition of insanity, and as such they will completely disregard it. This does not preclude a Heritage Road GO Station. A Bovaird Transitway location will support Brampton's future Bovaird BRT.

The reason the LRT was originally supposed to go to Brampton GO was to turn downtown Brampton into a park and ride for Mississauga, I do not believe that is in the city of Brampton's best interest.
