  1. Islington Express Bus

    Toronto Toronto | Woodbine GO Station | 14.01m | 2s | Metrolinx | GHD

    As a regular user of Etobicoke North, I hope this never gets built. 🤞🏻
  2. Islington Express Bus

    Vaughan Toronto | CG Tower | 188.97m | 60s | Cortel Group | BDP Quadrangle

    As seen from Weston around 6:30 am. See if you can spot it. Probably one of the best photos I've ever taken.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I could be persuaded to part with it, but you'll never take my collection of H-6 wheels. I need my barbell weights. 😉
  4. Islington Express Bus

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    On the topic of removing centre polls from the H-6 cars: My dad worked at Wilson Carhouse at the time and he saved a few of them from the dumpster. One of them now serves as a coat rack in our closet.
  5. Islington Express Bus

    Toronto Toronto | 50 Scollard | 147.62m | 41s | Lanterra | Foster + Partners

    Well I always thought it was a reference to the chemical symbol for gold. Johnny Gold 😎
  6. Islington Express Bus

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    I wish something like this arrangement would be considered. It serves all the major trip generators (Malvern, Centennial College, Centenary Hospital, UTSC). It provides a one-seat ride from anywhere to Scarborough Town, and it allows Sheppard Avenue riders to bypass STC, although it does...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I make it a habit to check the water and soap before I use the washroom on a GO train.
  8. Islington Express Bus

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Which itself was surprising. When he was a councilor, he was very much a right-wing and pro-car blow-hard.
  9. Islington Express Bus

    Tram-Train: Would it work here?

    I could see the case for the KW LRT being extended to Hamilton as a tram-train.
  10. Islington Express Bus

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Nah, the next time we enter an economic downturn it'll provide the perfect excuse to cut transit funding.
  11. Islington Express Bus

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    If there's nowhere to cycle to then there's nowhere to walk to either, yet we have still built sidewalks.
  12. Islington Express Bus

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    You live a few kilometers from the most well-served transportation hub in Canada. From there you can take Canada's most frequent regional rail service to your destination. Total travel time of about 1 hour.
  13. Islington Express Bus

    Brampton Toronto | 4400 Queen Street East | 143.3m | 43s | TACC | Turner Fleischer

    Terrible location! Wouldn't want to live there.
  14. Islington Express Bus

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Because traffic slows travel, while a subway line always travels at the same speed?
  15. Islington Express Bus

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Do we have any current ridership stats for GO Transit? I'd love to see how well (presumably poorly) Bloomington is performing.
  16. Islington Express Bus

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I suspect we will see a lot more headlines in the near future that begin with "Driverless LRV hits...". Driverless LRV Hits Car Driverless LRV Hits Pedestrian etc
  17. Islington Express Bus

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

    I think the Ontario Line would be a good spot to have our city's first *branched* subway line. One branch turns north and follows Dufferin or the Kitchener line north to Line 2. The other branch goes along the waterfront to serve Humber Bay Shores.
  18. Islington Express Bus

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    I know, I was talking about the proposed Express option from a few weeks ago that proposed non-stop Pearson/Union trips.
  19. Islington Express Bus

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    So the UP Express Express option would have been slowed down by yet another slow zone if that plan had gone through! Seriously, who came up with that?
