the financial benefits for platform screens doors is to limit the amount of trash and debris that gets on the tracks and damage both the tracks and wheels. you save more in maintenance than the cost of install platform screen doors

I am taking about current practice, all but 1 of these are older than 30 years. No one is building stations like these anymore because if they did, they would have much smaller systems because all the cost would go into making stations looking pretty. Stations built in Spain, China and India in...

Building barebones stations is how they do it in Europe and Asia and why cost are much lower than in North America, and it is why they build more transit projects as a result.

People like you are why transit projects balloon in cost. you want the stations to fit personal sense of style regardless of the added cost and time. This just means less transit for the rest of us, however.

Building stations are by far the largest cost of any transit projects, tunneling via TBM is not near as expensive as the stations. The most cost savings are therefore found in the stations. That's why the Scarborough extension only has 3 stations and why the Yonge extension removed a couple of...

The more expensive you make a transit project = less transit projects you will get in the future. Government don't want to get started with them because the public keeps trying to add more cost and time to them for things that don't matter, like trying to save some trees which probably added a...

This is the exact reason why transit projects in North America is so expensive, people like Northern light want to turn a transit project which should be built as cost effective and barebones as possible into big public works in which non-transit items are added on to the transit projects. In...

A daycare centre at Eglinton and Weston was sacrificed for the Mount Dennis station so it's only appropriate that the new one will open when the line opens.

Now multiple this by 100x for all the NIMBY groups in the city who want to make "One small change" to this project and the cost have soon grown by 100 million and additional years for completion. If Metrolink budges here it will only encourage more court injections all along the line. The more...

The most cost effectively way are the current plans to chop down the trees and a section of gate on Osgoode hall. Anything else will just increase the project cost and time (which is alreay happening with the delays) and make other projects less feasible.

So basicly you want to make transit construction both more expensive to build and take longer..

Any news when the second tower goes to sales

I am not surprised by most of these deaths being on wide suburban stroads where traffic speed is usually high, but I am surprised by the death at Yonge and College. anyone know the circumstances to this one?

Is there any retail going into these developments?

interesting video of some activities at Ontario Place

when do the new ebike roll out?

Bangkok also covers 1,568 KM^2 which is 3x the surface are of Toronto. The population density of Bangkok and Toronto are not too dissimilar with Bangkok being 25% more dense Toronto: 4,427.8/km^2 Bangkok: 5,578/km^2

The skyline will look so different next summer, with these towers and sky tower topping off.

that is 89.4 of the unit release (677), not all the unit (864)
