You don't even believe in what you wrote. Highly unlikely that Leary will go to Mississauga. And knowing Mississauga , I doubt they'll even want him there. It makes more sense for him to go back to the States or out of Province. He'll also have to consider his children.

For scrap. Who would buy them What about getting the same cars but without the reaction rail? Similar to what they use on the YUS line now? Did BBD or now Alstom have that as an option? That reaction rail from my understanding means, your stuck with that one supplier and can't explore other...

For scrap. Who would buy them?

Doug ford might hate streetcars, but I'm sure his developer buddies need them to sell condos in the downtown core. And we all know donations to the party means more than a personal hatred for streetcars. So he will have to fund them , even if he hates them. He could have easily cancelled the...

TTC had tested their own, in house fare machines. If I remember correctly, they had buses on routes 31 Greenwood and I think 72 Pape. And on a streetcar route 506. You swiped the Metro pass, and I believe they wanted to eventually expand it to open fare payments. But all that happened the last...

I know plenty of ppl that left hot beautiful countries to come and work in Canada. I believe his family is still in Toronto as well, and he'd rather raise his children here than over there. He was even recently working from home in Toronto, despite the company being in Saudi Arabia during COVID...

Again , they're just rumors. But looking at Adam Giamborne resume is not that far fetched. And the scandal of something that happened over 10 years ago , I doubt people will make that an issue. Sure they'll bring it up, but it will soon be forgotten. But I do expect Leary to be gone by the end...

Rumor is , he'll be the next CEO, replacing Rick Leary. Especially with his deep roots with the NDP and connections with Olivia chow, and the jobs and experience he's had since leaving politics. Even being TTC Chair was good experience. I also noticed he's been more vocal on Twitter , critical...

I do believe more transit systems in southern Ontario should be combined into one solar to Niagara region , and many others that have combined almost 20 years ago. Halton Region Transit and Peel Region Transit to name a few. Better connections within each region, consolidating operations and...

On what date will Olivia Chow appoint councilors to various boards and committees?

Looks like Hitachi recently acquired property in Schomberg Ontario. Just north west of Toronto I assume it's a facility to build cars for the Ontario line, and I would also assume it would put them in good position to compete with Alstom for Subway cars for TTC.

'The committee unanimously put forward a name from a long list of international candidates, and I think everyone’s really comfortable and pleased with who we’re going to put forward,” Colle said." My original point still stands. And why are we looking international, surely there are many...

If that's the case, why did he apply and accept this position? Many people would take this job and still do a better job. Rick Leary history in transit is not the best either, so if anything, I blame the board for hiring him, and not the excuse you listed.

I don't think John Tory wants a repeat of 2011 and the Gary Webster fiasco. TTC would have to buy him out or give him some kind of package. With 2022 being an election year and all the mess that as been happening, I'll bet money that wont happen. If John is re elected, which I suspect he will...

2023 made more sense to me, considering its usually 5 year contract. But with more people on this site and others saying his Ricks contract is up this month, I figure I'd ask the question. Looks like we have another year, unfortunately. Id rather see Steve Munro part of the TTC Board than TTC...

So I'm hearing more rumors that TTC CEO Rick Leary contract expires at the end of Feb 2022, but I can't find any reference or info on this. Anyone able to confirm that Rick Leary Contract expires this month? I haven't seen any job posting regarding the CEO position.

I've heard rumors of TTC and New Flyer not getting along. Anyone know the history behind it. But yet they have 25 E-electric buses from New Flyer. So what ever so-called beef they had must not be true? I wonder how this will affect bids for future hybrid buses

What kind of examples are out there that have semi-permanently coupled cars with full-width gangways? I assume it means each pair would be open gangways, but not a full 6 car like the TR? Eg, if its 3 car sets, they would be open gangways between 3 cars only, and not all 6 cars from end to end...

Thanks for the responses. It seems as though the biggest worry for NYC trains in Toronto would be the 2 inch extra wide gauges. I thought I read somewhere, that the gauge wasn't much of a big deal and could be adjusted if really needed. When the CLRVs were new and went to Boston for trial use...

Out of curiosity , how similar are the TTC TR/T1 cars vs a NYC R179 or any NYC trains. Would you be able to run a NYC train in Toronto tunnels and vice versa, a TR/T1 in NYC tunnels? Would TTC be able to hop on a NYC train order and replace the T1s on BD? Or are the two models too far off in...
