    Dundas St Rapid Transit (Metrolinx, Mississauga, Halton Region, CoT)

    It's a real shame that Oakville didn't take the opportunity, while widening Trafalgar Rd., to incorporate the Trafalgar Rd. BRT. Having a BRT on both Trafalgar and Dundas would be a game changer for the town. People north of Dundas, who don't own a car, would have much easier access to the GO...

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    Things like "transit" and "walkable neighbourhoods" take a collective effort. So does driving on the highway and hoping every other driver respects the rules of the road. I don't know why their seems to be a spike in anti-social behaviour as of late. It definitely has gotten worst post-covid. I...

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    The "gas tax" is the charge that drivers pay to fund the road infrastructure they drive on. Every time a driver fills up their car, they're funding the infrastructure their automobile relies on. Not to derail this thread, but this is why governments are now trying to figure out another type of...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    I would be more in favour of extending the western portion of the Ontario line to Park Lawn, near Mimico. Then construct the Jane line to connect the Ontario line with the Sheppard line.

    Is the plan to have GO buses running on this BRT? Will they allow regional, city buses to use the ROW?

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    So does Metrolinx have 2 way running on the Barrie line? I'm currently heading north to Aurora and after we crossed over Langstaff, we just had a 6 coach GO train fly by us heading in the opposite direction.

    Dundas St Rapid Transit (Metrolinx, Mississauga, Halton Region, CoT)

    Just so I'm clear, all new developments have to be set back further from the road in order to accommodate future road widening? The city has mandated this?

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    Not as much as you'd think. A lot of folks are choosing to still drive along the QEW during the Gardiner construction. Most of them are aware of the GO train. The main complaint being is there isn't enough parking at the GO stations once you pass Clarkson. Port Credit has little parking due to...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Would much rather see the Sheppard line extended west to the western side of Downsview with a connection to a hypothetical Bolton GO line. From there, down to North Etobicoke GO to connect with the Kitchener line.

    Dundas St Rapid Transit (Metrolinx, Mississauga, Halton Region, CoT)

    If we could get more frequent trains on the Milton line, then extending the subway to Dixie from Kipling seems completely redundant. How are they planning on fitting the BRT onto Dundas at the intersection with Hurontario? The road is awfully narrow, and a lot of those businesses seem to come...

    Dundas St Rapid Transit (Metrolinx, Mississauga, Halton Region, CoT)

    Why not just take the GO train if that's how you feel? Why stretch our subways so far when we already have a commuter/regional rail system that already provides a similar service?

    Mississauga Toronto | Mississauga Transitway | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    After having been to Ottawa, I was inspired by what I say with their own bus transitway. There is so much room for improvement for the Mississauga transitway. There needs to be a grade separated, bus lanes that runs by Square One. Has there been any consideration by the Ontario government to...

    Ottawa Transit Developments

    I just came back from a 2 day trip to Ottawa and spent plenty of it checking out the Confederation & Trillium lines. Also the bus transitway. Wanted to see what the LRT is like and what to expect of Eglinton when it opens. Basically the o'train is how LRT should be done. All the reasons it's...

    VIA Rail

    Yep, 4:34pm. Manage to transfer at Union onto the 4:51pm, express to Clarkson. Already home. My first round trip with VIA was a good one. Just a tip for anyone booking at seat in the new Siemens Charger trains. If you want a proper window seat, get a seat in an even # row. I got 7D and had the...

    VIA Rail

    The only hold up we had before Pickering was at Smith Falls. We had to wait for another VIA train, heading in the opposite direction to pass us. It was only about 10 minutes. Edit: Barring any issues, we're on track to get to Union "on time" for 4:33pm. Edit 2: After Guildwood, we hit 150km/h...

    VIA Rail

    I'm currently on VIA train #53 from Ottawa to Toronto. We just passed Pickering GO station, and they announced that we caught up to a GO train and have to wait to get the green light to continue on. Also, we will have to travel at a reduced speed. While on the CN network, the train was never...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I'm going to assume the only reason the driver drove onto the tracks is because they thought they could drive on them similar to the streetcar tracks.

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    The Stouffville line is getting twinned. Frequency will improve once completed.
