    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    It's okay to bring that subject once in a while but not in every thread every few days. I am unhappy with my bus service. How will ii help anyone if I bring that up everyday on this board?

    Pickering Airport (Transport Canada/GTAA, Proposed)

    That number also includes arrivals.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    A correction here. Scarborough keeps coming up because you keep bringing that in every thread and then that becomes a long discussion that ends up derailing the thread. You have made your thoughts clear on this matter and others have made their counter arguments as well. I understand your angst...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Sheppard subway should have been built on Eglinton and Eglinton LRT should have been built on Sheppard. They built the right thing, just not at the right place.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    If I got a dollar for every time someone mentioned Mississauga doesn't have good transit because Scarborough sucked in all the funds, I would have been buying Amazon, not the products it sells.

    Pickering Airport (Transport Canada/GTAA, Proposed)

    There are about 40 daily departures from Pearson for Montreal and Ottawa. That's 80 flights including landing and that's about 6% of daily flights from Pearson. It's not large but it's not insignificant either. By not having 80 flights with small planes, we can have 80 flights with large...

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

    Metrolinx is known to name stations after places that are nowhere near the station.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    It may have been answered before but is there any possibility of Via concourse looking better than what it looks like right now some time in future? York and Bay concourses look miles ahead compared to Via concourse.

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

    Thankfully this line is not a GO line or Metrolinx would be calling it Markham Exhibition station.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Widening QEW will be easier than acquiring a new ROW and building a new highway.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    We don't even need helicopters for this. Drones are much cheaper now and they can be used for enforcement. They will also be much more sneaky than a large police cruiser or helicopter. Also, to your concern about running into guardrail, we do have wide shoulders so if you are not able to merge...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    There are 360 degrees in a circle in metric as well.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    I am not confident that this would be the best approach. We already see a lot of drivers break rules and not get caught. Police should be catching them already and if they are not, then we need to think of alternatives. Making the highway design safer for dummies is a simpler approach. You just...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    I don't want to drag this and let's agree to disagree. But I'll make 3 points clear: 1. Out of the 3 examples I mentioned, only one is makeshift. 2. You can't measure the impact on the ridership without having a control experiment (where we have the other option run in parallel). We can't say...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Visual elements and aesthetics are important, especially when GO is competing. Yes, it competes with cars and TTC. By that logic, we should be okay with bare concrete walls in our new subway stations as long as trains are clean, we should be okay with the jersey barriers outside Union as long...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    I don't think that should be an issue because that already happens on 400 and 404 where not just one but two travel lanes exit to 407. I think that happens on 410 as well. They both can coexist and serve different markets. DVP is already beyond its peak capacity. It's congestion is far worse...

    In that case, some routes will need to renumbered like I suggested. There aren't many TTC routes with 4, 5 or 9 designation. Those should be easier to change. Other agencies can also look to renumber. It will be a one time pain but will make things easier in the long run.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    401 widening in Durham should be prioritized. 401 drops from 10 lanes to 6 lanes in Ajax and traffic always chokes up there. With more people moving to Durham, it's going to get a lot worse.

    We can also add an extra number before the existing route numbers for 905 buses. For example, York Region can add 5 to its bus routes, so route 33 becomes 533. Mississauga can add 3, Durham can add 7 and so on. Routes that are already 3 lettered will have to renumbered of course.

    Toronto Toronto | 5 Tangreen | 182.45m | 56s | CentreCourt | Arcadis

    That's Hong Kong style density. Those detached home owners won't be pleased lol
