    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    If you're inclined to be really pessimistic about Eglinton you might say it'll be the only line to open in 2025. Neither looks to be opening in 2024 at this point. And honestly, rather they take their time with testing/training than rush to make up for time lost during construction.

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    The main appeal of battery buses, as opposed to trolley buses which run on external power, is that they offer the flexibility of a regular bus whose power is fully onboard. That appeal is already out the window with any kind of rail vehicle. If the need were to arise for more loops or branching...

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    Bloor-Rosedale northbound is definitely one of the slower ones, but at least it's a short distance outside (unlike the tunnels around St. Clair West) and with how Aylmer/Rosedale Valley backs up you're not getting whizzed past like the slow zones on the Allen. That said, Bloor-Rosedale is...

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    If it were ever built, it's hard to see it using anything but standard gauge. Easier to procure new vehicles/equipment for one, but also because it would intersect the Finch West line and interoperability would be an asset. Especially if Metrolinx has anything to say about it. I doubt the...

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    St. Clair will eventually get its fair share of densification between Keele and Jane, possibly enough to justify extending the streetcar to Jane Street, if not Jane Station. That alone would cost well north of $100M in 2024 dollars, would likely require the City/TTC to go it alone funding-wise...

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    Davisville Yard doesn't realistically have the capacity to serve Line 1 if everywhere north of St. George is closed for work and Wilson Yard is cut off. Maybe such a closure could be feasible once the storage facility on the Yonge North extension comes online—I'm sure at this rate we'll still...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    It's in reference to Highway 10. Line 7 would be the Eglinton East LRT assuming it ends up going forward (which is its own discussion), and the TTC did refer to the proposed Jane LRT as Line 8 back in 2018, but that's obviously fallen out of the long-term plans since then. And it'll...

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    This at least seems to have been a short-lived delay caused by an unauthorized power cut. But with something like a quarter of the work car fleet out of service and such widespread slow orders resulting from poor track conditions, it's really only a matter of time before there's a repeat of the...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    If anything, the location more suited to an OL infill stop would be Cherry Street/Distillery Loop, given the density in the Canary District and the Villers Island/Port Lands redevelopment (+ Cherry Beach, etc.)... however, in addition to resulting in tighter than optimal stop spacing on both...

    Roads: Traffic catch all

    Well yeah it's Montreal, the whole place is a haven for drugs and alcohol abuse. I mean this (partly) as a compliment btw

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    I don't not get why they've chosen that site for the station/main entrance, but without an entrance on the west side of McCowan (who knows what will become of the knockout panel for the future development - hard to say if it'll be an accessible and/or sizeable entrance) there's going to be an...
