Here's the link directly to the TTC report. It's certainly an improvement on the current system. Yes, they could have gone further, but I can't say I think any of the designs in this thread are better. And it does make practical sense for it to integrate well with the existing signage...

Rotblott's also has a bunch of them installed in their store (hanging from the ceiling throughout the first floor), for anyone who's interested in seeing a bunch of well-preserved examples.

Not really fair to go "gotcha" on Hipster Duck when his/her post was from May 2 and the Ossington and Niagara stations were only moved to those locations on May 10!

It's Kensington.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Of course Dundas Junction streetcar tracks would go to Dundas West station -- how could they not? I've always understood this idea basically as extending the 512 St. Clair car to Runnymede or Jane and replacing the 40 Junction bus with a streetcar. The only...

OK, fair enough. So how *do* other crack-smoking politicians with drug-dealing associates get treated in the media?

But if this is corroborated, I think it would blow all previous scandals out of the water. A conflict of interest over $2000 for high-school football? I can see how the general public might not get too riled up about that. But being a crackhead who associates with gangsters? That would have...

The Gawker article is what we've already been discussing. It's Gawker that broke the story.

Do we really know that it's "relatively cheap" to build an elevated line?

We're talking about LRT in a right-of-way here, not in mixed traffic. Car accidents are not a major issue on our current ROW lines (Spadina and St. Clair). I've been delayed by "smoke at track level" on the subway many more times than I've been delayed by the Spadina streetcar hitting an...

The exact same thing occurs whenever there's an incident on the subway.

I was about to ask why a shocking number of elevators are currently out of service (Main, Davisville, Victoria Park, St Andrew, Jane, North York Centre, and Yonge), but then I found this notice about striking maintenance technicians.

I agree that this is an important question to address; I just think that the way you asked the question in your survey doesn't really address it, unfortunately -- we can't tell what the respondents' views on stop spacing are because the question asks them to consider a whole bunch of factors...

So basically you gave them two alternatives: (a) their current bus commute, or (b) a transit vehicle with its own lane, all green lights, off-board fare collection, subway-type speeds, and stopping only at cross-streets. Given all the positive stuff in alternative (b), I don't think it's...

Electrify, could you post the actual survey questions that you asked?

True, now that you mention it, the order did used to be different. Transit Toronto has a map from 2011 in which the order was T3 - Jetliner - T1. (Currently it's Jetliner lower - Jetliner upper - T1 - T3.) It was still pretty loopy, and took annoyingly long to get to T1.

It seems like the 192 takes that weird loopy route in order to service the Jetliner Road stop. If the bus took the more direct route, i.e. the ramp straight off the northbound 427, it would (narrowly) miss the "Airport Roadway at Jetliner Road" stop on the overpass over Jetliner Road. But...

I picked up one of these at the St. Lawrence antiques market this morning. I only wish I had come earlier, as the guy had already sold Yonge, Queen, and Church. He found them in a basement in Owen Sound.

And yet the boundaries of the old City of Toronto coincide almost exactly with the area that supported Smitherman rather than Ford (map). So there does seem to be some kind of coherence.

nfitz's point was that the TTC's *current* transfer rules would be very difficult to implement on Presto.
