    Transit Fantasy Maps

    These are really great! I have to wonder if it'll even be useful to show every station stop on Line 6. There are so many stops, and only the terminal stations connect to other services. It makes me think, why do we have so much information for Line 6 while we have next to no information for...

    VIA Rail

    Can anyone comment on windows in VIA’s fleet? Fifteen years ago a train I was on in the corridor hit an animal which resulted in a rock hitting my outside window. I think that the fact that the window consisted of many sheets of glass resulted in no shattering and no damage to a 9 year old...

    HFR from Toronto would come in from the South (right side), so they won't need to use the REM tracks. If they figure out how to get HFR from Quebec to Montreal through the tunnel, they would share tracks with REM, but that seems very unlikely at this point. Agreed, I can't wait for JPO results...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Should Finch East be at grade or underground?

    VIA Rail

    Yeah, speaking personally, I would absolutely use such a service from Toronto to somewhere along Superior. What issues are involved with switching the Canadian from CN to CP here? Is there additional infrastructure needed?

    How is it a false narrative if the new schedule accounts for delays and more closely reflects service...??

    VIA Rail

    Agreed! The end-to-end Canadian is not useful enough as a transportation tool to the areas it travels by. Do I want to take the Canadian? Yes, as a luxury/cruise experience when I have the time and money. Do I want my fellow Canadians to be able to access a more frequent, reliable service...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    I’m okay with old/esoteric names if we get something closer to Blackfriars than Sportsworld (Kitchener-Wateroo)

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Anyone know why Bloor-Landsowne GO is being planned to be south of Bloor, rather than just off Wade, making a 2 minute walk to Line 2? 77 Wade is going to be built on the north side.

    Yay! Someone got the point :P Getting this right early on in HFR could be critical.

    How does VIA provide wifi on a moving train? A long wire? \s VIA provides a map of where the signal is weak: https://www.viarail.ca/en/travel-information/board-services/free-wifi

    VIA Rail

    My experience with VIA wifi when traveling from Montreal to Toronto is occasional drops in service that make me have to stop what I'm working on and switch to cellular (or just wait).

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    It seems the 506 comes every 5 minutes, so that seems like a pretty good idea, but I think it would be good to also have a direct pedestrian connection. With the Halls of Kipling opening up, I have to wonder if movator technology has advanced to be cheaper and more reliable than when the...

    Yonge Street, North York Streetscape Improvements

    Not sure where else to ask this. Does anyone know why Google Maps identifies Yonge as Highway 1?

    VIA Rail

    With HFR taking the more northerly route, I'd assume that cellular coverage might get even worse. I wonder if Starlink could provide enough bandwidth for the whole train at a reasonable cost, improving the trip connectivity's even more.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Yeah, I feel very blessed that we have Union Station. Beautiful building with easy access to other modes, more beautiful than the new Penn or Moynihan, and where pretty much the only thing left to fix is the platforms. The Penn complex will be a nightmare to get up to par.

    Montréal Transit Developments

    I have to disagree that this is pure NIMBYISM. Great care was taken over the years to avoid surface transit in the core. It's worth extensively debating what we build through the CBD.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Is there any context as to why Line 6’s colour is grey? How do we imagine it will be represented on the TTC subway and streetcar map?

    VIA Rail

    Sorry, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that it'll reduce the penalty from starting a trip late?
