If it makes you feel better, the S200s can actually operate in an automatic door mode but they just don't 99% of the time

To be fair, afaik weekend frequency on both lines has never been this high and lots of service was at risk of being cut back in 2019. With downtown employment dramatically down and tons of immigration there's been more focus on all-day all-week service so I think the momentum is slowly picking...

They put the entire block up for sale earlier this year, don't know if it sold or not.

Arc tickets are paper

I just hope to be alive to see the 8th ave subway built 😂

In the recent Green Line update email:

PDI banners are up on the YWCA building on 5th Avenue, as well as the Lilydale chicken plant

We need more than one protected intersection and one raised crossing in the city, the 5A projects are generally good but they're all missing high quality intersections and crossings. I wish the city would explore near side signals like they've done in Canmore

I don't mind dull copper but the worst part is watching it stop being shiny. I have the same feeling about corten But this is all known and intentional

Just to change things up I was skimming through a city TOD report from last year with some interesting details

AFAIK it's going to be 2 car platforms provisioned for 3

Come 2060 people will still be arguing why the green line should've been high floor

Hopefully if the golf course is finally blown up something nice and high density can go in.

Well as long as the SELRT and the NCLRT are connected and the train will run at street level on Centre Street it will all be low floor. At least we're actually getting trains long enough with enough doors

Down here we've got pathway crossings across two of CP's lines so there's precedence for CP to allow these
