If you can get slots from CN just run the HEP sets by themselves or J them together on the outbound from Toronto. However, I'm surprised that VIA's Chargers aren't MU/HEP compatible with the existing fleet, since Amtrak mixes their chargers and P42DCs. GO does 12 bilevel cars by one...

No, that's only if CN doesn't offer an extra slot. The point of not stopping is so that fewer onboard crew are needed to operate the doors since existing station staff in Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal can open/close them externally (lowering operating costs). That's what Megabus, Flix, Rider Express...

I think filling 4 cars or more on one train is quite reasonable especially at the $25 price point (it's half what Megabus is charging). Many trains that VIA operating are already longer than that. It's also more possible to have a higher load factor if the trains operate nonstop, since seats are...

I suggested that as a possiblity if VIA was really unable to get the 4 slots on the Kingston sub needed to run the service (one round trip between Toronto and Montreal/Ottawa daily). I don't think anyone paying $25 to travel from Toronto to Montreal/Ottawa is expecting to go anywhere fast...

You could stick the low-cost train set onto the back of an existing train (which would further reduce operating costs). The point is to minimize operating and capital costs to allow for lower ticket prices. Ouigo in France was successful because the low cost induced ridership. If (low-cost)...

Toronto-Ottawa, or Toronto-Montreal non-stop trains so you can reduce onboard staff costs and have staff at stations operate the doors.

🤔🤔🤔 December 2024 isn't a firm date. It could open earlier or later based on how testing goes. Contactless Debit/Credit on the TTC was launched about a week early. While Presto in Google Wallet is late (despite it being essentially ready for launch for almost 2 months now). To paraphrase the...

Overall, you were charged correctly. The fare from Milliken to Kennedy is $3.70 on GO. When you take YRT to GO, your trip on YRT is free which is why you were refunded $0.18.

I'd try claiming the service guarantee, you're probably eligible.

The 17:55 train was cancelled, you were on the 17:25 train leaving 35 minutes late. It was technically 8-15 minute peak service depending on how you measure it. Transsee shows the 88c using Highway 115 and Highway 401.

Amex works, but it shows up as TTC Toronto without a location.

tbh, he should have said that the training/commissioning phase is scheduled to take 6 months (assuming nothing goes wrong), and according to the dashboard, we are at least 20% of the way through.

Wonder if it opens December 17 to match the TYSSE🤔.

Development for that is happening right now. An account-based system is currently being used for PRESTO in Google Wallet. Physical PRESTO cards should be transferred over to the account-based system as well. Singapore did something similar with their EZ-Link cards last year. But unlike the...

According to GO's Twitter Feed, the diversion to Port Credit was already periodically happening in January 2019 when there was heavy traffic congestion. According to the Metrolinx website, fares were adjusted in April 2019 to lower the fare for trips under 10 km to $3.7...

The bus from Erindale connects with the train at Port Credit.

S&B stopped making the old readers. They have an expected service life of between 3-4 years. S&B made a new one, but it was more expensive than the Famoco ones (OCTranspo bought it though).
