Yes, but that's because the woman who was assigned/volunteered (not hired, since she's already a TTC employee) to do the subway announcements - the woman who did the streetcar and bus announcements was on maternity leave - is over-annunciating. I understand the idea is to have clear...

My neighbours bought a scooter and I know one of them was trying to get his licensing done ASAP since he knew he wasn't going to be out on it during the winter. That's not to say it's impossible to ride a scooter in the winter, but, particularly with the cold one we're having this year, I have...

It does look cool. But, like many have said, I think the TTC forgets that they have to maintain these stations. Given the system barely has enough money to keep its current stations in "moderately shoddy" state, how do they expect to maintain these colossi? Don't get me wrong. They're very nice...

While I never understood the point of the LCBO, like the comment above, I think 39 storeys might be too high. Here's a StreetView of how the intersection looks. http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=King and Spadina, Toronto...

Not to take this thread further off-track (no pun intended) but there's no need/use for a GO-style system, at the moment, in Ottawa. Least of all on trains. A) The geographic boundaries of Ottawa are so artificially large that largely with the exception of Gatineau, almost all the regional...

Yes. In fact, American, British Airways and Iberia have a joint-venture agreement so, in effect, they operate as one entity (including profit/loss sharing) across the Atlantic. In fact, the lighted signage has BA's and Iberia's logos on them. It's just interesting given that AA has quite a...

To give some of you an idea of what's being discussed, here's a 2 min. short of what American Airlines did to some subway cars in New York. Interestingly, some of the cities presented are not American Airlines destinations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeZMOyqTf_E To be fair, some of you...

At least from that rendering, the L Tower's design looks like it would make a fantastic office tower. Though I accept that the reality of the size of the project, an office tower isn't really feasible. Oh, and if a 1,000 people came out to admire this building like that, blocking traffic, Rob...

The one train has been sitting at Wilson for over a week now. It hasn't even been moved as evidenced by the increasing amount of snow collecting on its roof (at least as of Monday evening at around 4:30p). As far as I can tell, they are doing stuff with it but the brief view I get from the...

Oh look, another glass box with balconies brought to you by architectsAlliance. *yawn* Though it does give me something to look at from a distance when crossing Danforth.

The MBTA in Boston had some teething problems with their Bombardier-built trains (Red Line 1800-series). That said, I seem to recall the problem being with the traction motor - but I could be wrong about that. So, I'm not sure that can be pinned on Bombardier but I know they weren't happy with...

I voted for Yellow Line. One of the things I found confusing before I moved to Toronto was how, when getting on at Union, the same line had two different names. Personally, what I'd like to see is sort of a Boston-style system where a station is designated the central point and from there you...

In terms of transit, will the 501 be able to absorb all these new condo dwellers out there, or is it assumed that most of them will be drivers? If the latter, the area roads out there are going to be really pretty.

Continuing my dislike for the stupid names given to most condo developments in this city, I'm curious to know what 'ocean' its name is referring to. Otherwise, I don't hate it. A little generic but it has some nice details that I like.
