    Rocco Rossi wants subways too!

    I've said this before, but I think this all really comes down to, what does the average want. We have to consider the values and desires of the masses when considering mass transportation. I think its a real issue that people who are very passionate and engaged in transit have values and ideals...

    Rocco Rossi wants subways too!

    2km of subways per year, starting with Sheppard, paid for by the balance of debt servicing costs eliminated after debt is payed off by selling things like Toronto Hydro. Right now, he's got my vote. Enough with this Euro-dementia bulls**t, let's build transportation that actually works.

    Sorry my bad, I should have said 'or something like that', I'm not sure myself exactly what it will be..

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Well firstly, the tap-in fare would be the same as a cash fare, or $3.00. However, as far as I understand it, the more you use it in particular time period, lets say you take > X number of trips in Y number of days, you will get a discounted fare for further trips. An example, as is applied to...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    PRESTO is a fare processing system only. The implimentation depends on the fare structure of the system. GO transit is a zone-based fare-by-distance system, which therefore depends on the origin and destination point to determine the fare. Therefore on GO, one must 'tap on and tap off'. However...

    Rob Ford wants subways, not streetcars

    Great to see him at least understanding this **TRUTH**, PEOPLE, normal people who need to work every day and arn't LRT fanboys, just want to get HOME at night and not wait outside in blowing snow and rain for a glorified streetcar that can't go faster than a bicycle and gets stopped at traffic...

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    Trump is now visable from Riverdale park - I am actually concerened about how significantly it will block BMO from this view... I really love the feeling of energy and life that seems to sit intangibly upon the horizon at night, almost invoking a place not unlike the end of a rainbow, visible...

    Toronto | 1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    The YUS line is currently getting a signal retrofit that will enable it for ATC operation. The new TR cars are ATC capable. None of the current rolling stock is ATC capable. It's not that the T1s and TRs can't be operated together, it's that if the TTC wants to implement ATC operation at any...

    Extending subway system driving force behind Thomson mayoral campaign

    Anyone who talks about subway system expansion gets my vote. If a more articulate, more careful person comes out with it in their platform, they'll get my vote. I'm not impressed with anyone in the running right now, but if this can be a subway referendum of any kind, then I will find whatever...

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Should be at least 80 stories taller. This is not befitting of the most important intersection in the universe. I'm SO dissapointed, I hope its not a green tent!

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    In all of this hoopla of criticism, I find many people forget or are simply ignorant of the process through which building design occurs. The architect for a project is a client of the developer. The architect does not get free reign to design whatever he wants. Part of the challenge for the...

    Tramsit City - Construction Updates only

    Perhaps the 'Tramsit' was intentional. Considering his reference to the Sheppard 'tram' line, maybe he is proposing another Transit City moniker, a la 'Transit Shitty' or 'Transfer City'

    Pretty sure trump is also curtain wall.

    Toronto | 1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    This should have been the case. With tough clauses of this type, I bet bombardier would have found a way to get it done. The beauty of strong incentive.

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Can't we have both? Is it so much to ask?
