Megabus has just stated that it is going double the number of services between London to Toronto with 18 departures per day from London. There are also 2 other major carriers between the 2 cities. Yet more passengers VIA is not going to get due to it's infrequent and slow service between the 2...

No it won't. Yes it will be the tallest tower in the city but won't stand out any more than FCP does in Toronto. Downtown London has a plethora of towers in the 20 to 30 story range and two other 30 story towers be completed by the summer. There are 2 other 40 story proposals one of which is...

Now with the massive Volkswagen plant a go, the need for good transit service between London and St.Thomas is a bigger issue than ever. London is rebuilding it's manufacturing base faster than any other city in the country and nearly all of it is south of the 401 where transit service is...

But the burning question is Labour Day of what year?

I rarely come to this thread because, well, what's the point? I'll check back in a year from now to see how construction is coming along.

Isn't that like saying there should be enough workers to drive to downtown so we shouldn't bother building the OL? I thought the whole purpose of expanding transit was to make sure that people DON'T have to rely on a car to get around and to make sure that people of all socio-economic and...

Wow, they are really getting a move on with the Wellington Gateway line. As for extending the Wellington BRT to serve Amazon, I was not talking every bus but rather something along the lines of running every 4th bus past White Oaks to serve the Amazon area and go right into downtown St.Thomas...

The devil will be in the details and I think the TBOT's proposal is the best but no manner which way you cut it, this is nothing but good news for Torontonians both in the 416 & 905. Hopefully, if not the TBOT proposal, they will shrink many of the fares in the inner city fares to be the same as...

Winning your local seat and winning a city-wide election have little to do with each other. A left-wing councilor winning a left-wing seat is hardly an accomplishment. That's like a Tory getting ecstatic because she/he won their seat in rural Alberta. Winning in Vegreville doesn't mean you will...

Tolling and burying the remaining part of the Gardiner would be a lot more politically palatable if they felt the City was offering them a viable option but that is not the case right now. Even after new inner city stations and higher service, GO will still be a primarily longer distance service...

Chow and Sauders benefit from name recognition but at the same time I think they have the least amount of growth potential. Name recognition gets you a lot of initial attention but as other become more known to the general population, that advantage quickly fads. Chow is viewed as a...

Good. Now Toronto will have to tax themselves appropriately like every other city in the province.

It looks like all the major players have now confirmed their run for City Hall. In just naming the person, who do you think WILL win and {trying to put aside your biases} who do you WANT to win?

The easiest thing to do is simply take a poll on what Torontonians want. It's already over budget and with demands for money from every area of the city and Torontonians not willing to tax themselves at appropriate levels, it should be presented that the city can no longer afford the project...

That is not the point. The point is that Toronto expects QP {ie everyone else in the province} to pick up the tab. Toronto seems to think that it is perfectly acceptable to have the lowest taxes in the province and yet still expect the best infrastructure free of cost. This notion that Toronto...

Why should QP {ie every other taxpayer in the province} pay for these increasing costs? Toronto is already getting Eglinton and Finch free of charge unlike KW, London, and Ottawa who had to fork over a good chunk of their own money to build their RT networks. Toronto not being able to fund...

I don't know if it will slow down GO electrification plans and these rising costs may actually expediate the process. Electrification sooner , as opposed to building mega garages that people can use for free, would make the operational savings costs come much faster as a big chunk of GO's budget...

I think the idea that GO will be carrying less than one million in 15 years is laughable but it will all come down to frequency & fares. It looks like ML is going provide service of every 8 minutes on core routes which will take it from suburban rail to a real rapid transit system. Of course it...

I had no idea that Bay was gone. hell of an ugly building but it was a real anchor for the corner. Is this a renovation and will they reopen or is this a permanent closure? As for Nordstrom, I'm glad they are leaving Canada. I feel bad for those about to lose their jobs but in the long term...

When you consider the complete disarray that was City Hall in 2014, yes Tory brought back a sense of decorum. Tory had an affair and did the right thing by stepping down. Ford used crack and didn't even see the problem.
