Well EnviroTO, I hope you do not take issue to this, but I simply found your post so epic that I couldn't help but to quote it in my signature. Epic win.

An extremely important point that was also missed in the now dieing (thank god!) 'hydrogen revolution', is that electric cars will still produce ample amounts of emissions, just not directly from the vehicle. I understand that centralized electric power generation, as well as 'green' power...

Electricity comes from somewhere, its made from something. That something often involves fossil fuels. Rubber tires tearing up asphalt roads represents high friction, which translates to high rolling resistance (compare to a train). The automobile network encourages and often requires vast...

Its kind of funky in that light, I almost like it. *Almost*, but not quite enough for me to stop wanting to see its FACE RIPPED OFF! har har :o

My buddy works in the same building as this real estate guy, apparently there might be on office tower going up here, 18 york... Sorry I can't provide any definite sources, jus hear say.. anyone see anything?

Last I heard it was being brought down to grade, at level with the current bus terminal, with the station extended east to meet it. Has this changed?

Not to mention how proud Marx would be to see HK's privately owned and operated mass transit company that is also a fixture in the land speculation, development and property leasing markets! (lol)

LOL! awwwwwwwwwwww~

Cellphone service is coming, I believe it could happen as early as this year, but they're presently trying to negotiate with a provider, who will of course be responsible for the cost of installation.

I'll probably be in HK this summer... coming back to these new trains will lessen the shock I hope~

nice, though I'm not so sure the operator would be so happy to see you from that vantage point.. ;)

Thanks for the info. Hoists are visible through the windows at Wilson's TR car house. They are making swift progress. A report on the construction bidding explains how the TTC considers the timely construction of the new carhouse extremely important.

Davisville's 'barn' can only handle married pairs (2 car trains), and since TR's can't be decoupled, they cannot be serviced at Davisville, rather they can only be stored there. The new yard is not being seriously considered anymore, rather Wilson is to be expanded northward, and this was all a...

I was seriously terrified that this project would get either canned or decapitated during the downturn.. Its such a beautiful landmark, this is such a win. I don't know who would side with me when I say, however: if I had to choose between 1 Bloor and Aura, I'd take Aura any day. Great news...

Anyone care to enlighten my as to what the response to TTC12's e-mail question to On The Rocket was? Thanks!

I use to drive, and have since converted to complete transit dependancy. I feel MORE freedom, and MORE convenience. I'll tell you why with a few major points: I don't have to worry about finding a parking spot, I don't have to worry about leaving my car somewhere for any amount of time, I don't...

Thank you TTC12, that is great news! Unfortunately I can't see the show, I look forward to hearing the answer tho.. Thanks for the initiative you've taken!

LOL! You said it!

Talk about apples to oranges. I think a real issue is that on top of the glaring flaws of LRT (traffic lights, operators who feel like going 15 km/h, outdoor stops exposed to everything except a gentle summer drizzle [how terrible]) is compounded by the fact that it can't even be built properly...

I'm with you on this, brotha. +1
