That map isn't as far fetched as it may seem IF GO can take advantage of tram-trains or small battery/hydrogen EMUs.

Kind of stupid that Tory would support Bailiao AFTER advanced polling has already taken place.

GO shouldn't be any more than the TTC. Technology has absolutely nothing to do with your trip. You are going from A to B so who cares how you get there? You don't pay more for the subway than you do for the bus even though the subway is faster and more comfortable so why should it be any...

People may dislike Ford for numerous reasons but his policies on the transit file is definitely not one of them. As for fare integration he has already brought it in with GO for all of the 905 and not only from the jurisdiction the rider starts from but also where he/she ends. As for what the...

People love to bitch about Ford but on the transit file Ontarians, and especially Torontonians, have never had it so good. He is the best transit Premier Ontario has ever had. He is not only funding monstrous new projects but also has started to bring in fare integration. The Liberals had the...

^^^^ I totally agree. Only one person knows what the best option is for transit riders and that is the rider themselves. It shouldn't matter whether you take the streetcar, the bus, subway, LRT, or horse & buggy, the trip from A to B should be the same regardless of the technology. This would...

Gondolas can be excellent transit systems and in some cases absolutely revolutionary. The system in La Paz Bolivia, due' to it's incredibly steep hills, has brought reliable and fast transit to literally millions of people who had none before. It has had a huge positive impact on the city's...

Seeing QP now only has about 6 months left before fare integration, is there any word on when exactly it will be implemented and more importantly, what exactly it's suppose to look like? 6 months isn't much time to update all of Presto, fare machines, and let the public know ahead of time what...

Another advantage of a RER Mid-town service is that they serve 2 areas that have no rapid transit currently. Malvern , even aftyer Scar extension, will still have no easy access to rapid transit nor GO and Milton is the fastest growing city in Metro Toronto so demand from there will only...

This exactly right. Toronto had both the opportunity and money to build a true crosstown route but Miller wanted a rapid transit line that would still help Grandma get to local hair salon and he would also not entertain any form of transit that could not be automated as that would have cut into...

As I stated, the Milton/Union line should still remain and especially for peak periods but the regular GO RER service should be a Mid-town corridor. Some of the best used lines in the world are by-pass and circular ones because they connect all the different rail corridors including those that...

If there was one single project that I think would be TRULY transformative it would be, by a long shot, is building the mid-town rail {CN, CP?} from Milton to Markham. After the current projects under construction, ML should put all of it's resources towards buying the corridor {and helping...

I see the reasoning behind PSD but I must admit that for older stations, I think the higher priority should be to make them 100% accessible. As for the PSD themselves, I don't like the ones like the UPX. I find the wall to ceiling ones very claustrophobic . I vastly prefer the ones that are...

Steve X.....................what part of "when considering Calgary's population" didn't you understand? Of course it's not as good as the transit in Toronto because the GTA has 6X Calgary's population. As I originally stated, one cannot compare the streetcars Toronto is building with the Light...

^^^^. I agree and that exemplifies how incredibly successful CT has been. Just look at those figures you posted. Calgary has higher ridership than much bigger and much older Philly, Boston, Wash, and SF. It has the same ridership levels as Vancouver despite only serving a population half it's...

Don't bring poor Calgary into this equation. Yes, Calgary has Light Rail Transit but quite unlike Eglinton & Finch, it is also Light RAPID Transit. Calgary's CTrain uses old rail corridors, highway medians, overpasses, rail crossing guards, and 100% signal priority and the result is that it is...

It does look like it's Chows election to lose so don't expect any new even mildly controversial comments or priorities from her. During elections where there is a clear leader they tend to say as little as possible hoping they can use cruise control to take them over the line and it usually...

Couple interesting notes about their platform about Corridor services...........they say HSR and not HFR and they state the service would be a Windsor to Quebec City route, hence including SWO.

I should have been more precise in the way I worded service to St.Thomas. The BRT is going to Exeter Road which is just north of the 401. After that bus-only lanes will not be required to get to St.Thomas and, as noted, should be express buses with, for example, with every 4th bus going to ST...

Who can blame them? VIA has had half a century to do something with this tunnel and make the service to Ott/Tor and actual appealing one. Why should Montrealers have to accept less frequent service and with more expensive operational costs just to appease VIA? Remember this is just another...
