The tunnels are subway width, we just filled them in with concrete. Since most of the cost of this line is from the stations, then if doubled the station spacing, we could have had the same line, but it would have been a real subway. We gimped future capacity by choosing the fundamentally wrong...

The more I look, the more problems I find. Idk what they did, but from what I can find on the internet, the tunnel diameter of the crosstown tunnels is 6.5m. The tunnel diameter of the Spadina extension was 6m. So whatever they did to the tunnel, they could have fit a full subway in it. I.e...

We need to remove the Hakimi Lebovic Stop. The end of the eastbound platform is less than 50m from the end of the westbound platform of the warden station.

We should shut the line down and replace it with a real fucking subway. We paid for a subway, had the delays of a subway and got a fucking tram that doesn't even get priority over left turning cars.

For the money we spent on this line, we could have had a TTC grade metro line from Mt Dennis to Kennedy with half the stops but twice the capacity and twice the speed. The tunnels are subway sized, we just filled them in with concrete for the trams. And the eastern surface section could have...

Its a piece of land that is right next to a highway and under the Bloor Viaduct. Anyone trying to portray this environment as "natural" is lying. What kind of consultation is really required? Its not next to anyone's homes. This part of the Don Valley has Bayview Ave, the Richmond Hill line...

Oh man won’t someone please protect this sensitive part of the Don Valley LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO THE DVP. If you can’t build this kind of light train parking and cleaning facility right next to a highway, there is nowhere else you could build it.

I hope you know what competitive advantage is in economics. Countries are going to buy hydrogen from whichever producers can make it the cheapest, they're not going to be digging groundwater to hydrolyze it. That probably means huge coastal solar and offshore wind farms making hydrogen extremely...

What is finite in this equation? Electricity (from the sun and wind) + Water => Hydrogen + Oxygen Hydrogen + Oxygen => Energy + Water Water => Hydrogen + Oxygen => Water => ...

Hydrogen when created from saltwater and renewables is effectively infinite

Green Hydrogen (electrolyzed from water using renewables or nuclear) can be the replacement for oil where batteries and electricity cannot be used.

The trick to managing AEVs is redesigning our cities around humans and then banning AEVs/ all personal motor vehicles from cities.

Why? Thats not efficient, because you're trying to stuff a long-distance truck/ train i.e. high volume, optimized for highway speed, probably very long and large, into small low volume streets which are better suited for a deliver van or cargo bike. Because putting a LiDAR bulb on the top of...

All those SFHs around a key transit stop. With such huge backyards. What a waste of prime Canadian real estate I will die owning nothing. Oh Canada.

These sorts of problems w. Tesla are indicative of very low quality control standards. I've never heard of any other car doing something like this. 10k mile Tesla needs battery replacement Tesla Owner's car has caught fire and company has yet to address it Steering Wheel falls off Taycan...

The legacy OEMs don't sell exclusively luxury cars. When the legacy OEMs do sell luxury cars, they aren't using vinyl seats, and don't Have roofs that fly off on the highway on their first drive Spontaneously Combust The legacy OEMs also have decades of experience and production lines that...

I feel like this line should connect to Line 1 at York U

Cargo bikes can carry kids, kids can sit on the back of normal upright bikes too Incredibly specific, seniors can ride bikes too. Better than letting them drive cars.

Why do you need to drive downtown? Those bike lanes are transporting 10 times more people, more efficiently, less wear on the road, less pollution, better health etc. Why do cyclists need traffic laws? If a bike crashes into another bike, at worse people are breaking their bones. If a bike...

Just stop catering to cars. Give the 501 every streetcar transit priority and keep cars out of the streetcar lanes. No more street parking on any streetcar route. You've instantly improved the reliability and speed of every route. Instantly create 5 LRT routes into downtown. No need for...
