From Mercia Transit:The lifetime pass shall be in the same name as the registered vehicle owner. (El bono vitalicio se hará al mismo nombre del propietario del vehículo.) The vehicle must be in perfect working order with a valid Inspección Técnica de Vehículos decal on the day of...

They should be awarding Delcan with the Preliminary Design for $12m soon. (Tender Results).

Because it's downtown Toronto and not downtown Vaughn. They are providing $8.2 billion for transit in Toronto, we chose 1 LRT subway instead of 3 surface LRTs. I'd have to dig through the numbers, but the TTC gets over $250 million in operating and capital funding from the province. Toronto's...

Because there is a shortage across the industry.

Why because we currently have a $12.9 billion subway scheme that has $8.2 billion in funding. Jane, Don Mills, and Malvern LRTs are all good line concepts, but like how the Network 2011 plan got chopped down to the Sheppard Stub Subway, the TransitCity plan will be chopped down to the Eglinton...

Why are you asking for more information when he gave you the full status of the project? In November, Ford stopped all work on Transit City, but has yet to take any transit approval to council (such as the Eglinton MOU). Work that was done before the election will live on in archives, but no...

The fare hike this year lasted about 7 hours, maybe less. Not really time for an outcry, as by the time most people had read that they proposed a 10 cent price rise, they also heard it wasn't needed. Nobody really raised a fuss last year with the 25 cent rise, they just had people hording tokens.

Controlled implosion would be the most likely way. Take out the internal support columns and then the external ones and from top to bottom as the debris will implode instead of explode. Dust and pressure still a big issues, but it's generally more cost effective than using grabber jaws...

Capacity is constrained getting into and out of Union Station in the USRC. They've been upgrading the switches and signalling, but trains still need to slow down prior to Union Station more than would otherwise be necessary. It doesn't matter if there were 1000 stations that move more traffic...

Many, if not most, of the US turnpikes and other toll routes were established prior to government construction of freeways (I'm thinking primely of the New Jersey Turnpike that started as a timber road), so there was more presidence. The 407 was our first major toll road and it was privatized...

From the ONT NDP Platform:"We will invest in new transit projects and upgrades for public transit systems."

If your going to draw fantasy maps, at least try to consider reality. The radii of LGV curves have historically been greater than 4 km (2.5 mi). New lines have minimum radii of 7 km (4.3 mi) to allow for future increases in speed.

The question that comes to my mind: who'll have the shortest ferry in the world then?

The projections are for 20-30 years from now, that's just 3% growth per year. Obviously we will have years like recently where capacity is bottlenecked, but new construction eliminates these and we see a spike and then resumption on natural growth. In that same timeframe, we expect 4-5 million...

Atlanta's runways are near parallel (8L/26R, 8R26L, 9L/27R, 9R/27L, 10/28). The airport is the primary hub of AirTran Airways, Delta Air Lines, and Delta Connection partner Atlantic Southeast Airlines; the Delta hub is the world's largest airline hub. Delta Air Lines flew 59.01% of passengers...

I had a look in the Design Requirements Manual, and they don't restrict the placement of platforms. There are only a couple references to platforms on curves. Generally, they are requirements for supplimental information if a platform is to be superelevated or on a curve. "The platform should...

This is one reason why I want Metrolinx to upload the TTC. As it is, GO practically ignores the TTC and just does its own thing, as does the TTC in return. Leslie TTC Station and Oriole GO Station is a great example of the breakdown. They talk a lot about "mobility hubs", but unless the...

When do you think Pearson operates at peak demand? There is the Night Flight Restrictions from 12:30am until 6:30am, then morning peak from 7am to 10am and afternoon peak from 3pm to 8pm. That's 9 hours out of an 18 hour day. There shouldn't be much difference between peak flights per hour...

The extension west at Danforth had to do with the track spacing. Extending it didn't alter the existing hazard and mitigating measures were already in place. If they've built a new infill station (or line extension station) in the last 20 years on a curve, then I'll accept that it's still a...
