I think there have been times they have managed to do both at the same time ;)

I too am generally of that mind.....but the balance between pain and gain (cost and benefit ) has to be right. . But that is what was on the table....complete closure of Bathurst north of Eglinton, or continue with the current program of partial closures. We are not dealing with a...

You think? Either Metrolinx did a lousy job of explaining the whats and whys of this plan or there really was no real benefit. They wanted to completely shut down a major intersection so that construction in the intersection would be done by September 2019 as opposed to the end of 2019? For...

Yogi Berra is in the house!

Seeking a $3 fare might be compared to the $6.70 ($5.95 with Presto) that GO charges to travel from Mount Pleasant to Bramalea. I know there is a movement in Toronto to try and get GO fares in that city to replicate/approximate local transit fares......I guess if that was done system wide (ie...

You know, there are people who oppose spending on public transit .....so doing a TV interview in an empty GO train that is apparently in service is probably not a good optic to send out to the world.

Wasn’t it the opposite? Wasn’t the GO Train broken down and the VIA was stuck behind it?

I fully agree, but it appears what prompted theses changes (the first domino to fall if you will) was the extension of the train to Kitchener. That seemed (to me anyway) to trigger a bunch of other changes on “while we are doing that” basis.....and those changes (which had never been hinted at...

Honestly, and I hope this does not come off as petty (because it is not intended to be) but perhaps the lesson this week is a bit less focus on getting more trains to Kitchener (where ridership is currently low) and pay a bit more attention to the 3 (4 if you count Malton) stations in Brampton...

If we are correct that the timing shift has moved people off of the 4:35 (former 4:50 express) onto the 5:02 and 5:27 trains.....having extra seats sure seems a good response....and kudos to all involved for getting to it so quickly.

Final chapter of this project being written today? https://thepointer.com/article/2019-01-11/ruling-favours-city-of-brampton-in-28-5m-inzola-lawsuit-over-city-hall-expansion

You are giving me way to much credit for thinking it through in detail....all I was assuming was "that which was doable last week....is likely still possible this week" ;)

I get what you are saying....and I previously would have accepted this explanation without question.....but the changes that were made that seem to be causing the problem were made just this week...in isolation (ie with no other changes to other schedules except the addition of the daily train...

I am a total idiot today.....let’s try this one last time Ed’s Warehouse was the resto......I think I am on more solid ground now ;)

Sentence structure, sorry.......it was Honest Ed’s with the offensive jacket policy...,.not the Peel Pub ;)

Peel pub went into the basement of that building (and is now a Shoeless Joes).....actually the basement is a raised basement so it protrudes above ground too....Ed's was up a half flight of stairs on the "ground floor" of the building. Bit of Toronto Trivia (slight exaggeration)....it was the...

If the old timings worked better.....why not just go back to them?

lol Had a brief twitter convo today about how often the term "exponential growth" is misused.

How much does YRT pay BT to run the 501 Zum to VMC? Until this discussion over the past few days, I had never heard of a subsidy.....just an agreement to let them operate and access the area on the way to York (and now the subway).
