But at least it connects to VIA HFR ;)

That's a good question. According to their website, they are no longer posting their materials online and you need to ask them for it. I'm particularly interested in "Phase 4.2 - Station Location Map", which might have your answer.

While I think that Yonge would benefit from bike lanes, I disagree that putting cycling infrastructure on Beecroft is throwing money away. Generally, I think the city should be focusing on "AAA" facilities - all ages, access, and abilities. Having bidirectional separated bike lanes on Beecroft...

Our main concern should be what colour the DRL should appear as on the transit map.

The online load thing was definitely a fail on the part of the STM. I think they gave up on that, just like their trip-planning app. But shortly after that debacle, they rolled out Opus à l'année. I'm not sure how the back-end works but I have been paying without using a machine since 2016. It...

Technologically, it may be ahead of the Opus card. But it is definitely not more convenient than the Opus card, which has been in use since 2008. People are clearly quite frustrated with Presto: whether with the process of being billed, purchasing one in the first place, tapping in, topping up...

Ah, I assumed that the long corridors for transfers were so they could install Presto gates or put fare inspectors :P

I'm a bit confused, because I thought Montreal already passed a motion about that, but needed the province to actually change the laws. Tbh, I had originally thought that all of these were already the law in Montreal, until a cop stopped me for using the pedestrian signal. Still, all of these...

I complained to google maps on the little "Report a data problem" option about that too! It also annoys me how the little lines aren't the actual underground location of the tunnels, just straight line segments.

So this is how I could handle the sale of the Downsview airport: -Replace Allen road with an extension of Dufferin Road, wide enough for bus lanes (or a streetcar ROW, if you want to put that in your fantasy map) -Downgrade the interchange with Allen road (now with Wilson heights) north of...

Ah, that's a little disappointing, that the RTM has given up on electrifying. Without the Deux Montagnes line and the Mount Royal tunnel, the entire system will be Diesel.

Ah, a truly heroic story of the city's fight to build detached single family sprawl over the Don Valley against the threat of mid-rise apartment buildings.

Yeah, but my point is that, to my knowledge, they don't use Dorval, Montreal's main airport, for flight testing. There's two lower traffic airports, St. Hubert and Mirabel, which are better suited to that. With a functioning airport, there was a rationale to restricting development (flight...

But do they test them there? I remember when they were broadcasting the first C-Series flight it was out of Mirabel.

I'm not sure if this has been posted in this thread, but in Ottawa they held a contest where school children were able to name all of the vehicles on the LRT: I know that LRVs aren't anything new or exciting in Toronto, and that we have many more vehicles (204 here vs 40 in Ottawa), but it...

I'm guessing that you're referring to the fact that the bike lanes on Beecroft aren't bidirectional on the west side so they have to deal with unnecessary intersections: Which, as you've pointed out previously, is disappointing because it means that there are many more potential conflict...

In Toronto, I think we might be a bit spoiled in thinking that a Spadina-distance transfer is particularly onerous or impractical. I've experienced much longer transfers in other cities (like Shanghai), where two lines would appear to be directly on top of each other from the system map but...

Any idea why they are building the Lansdowne station south of Bloor instead of North? It looks like there is room for a station, maybe if they expropriate a dilapidated lumber yard, and there would be a direct connection to Lansdown subway station at Wade (no street crossings needed) Unless...

I've never read the Federal budget before: is it normal for 2/3rds of a financial document be devoted to gender issues and indigenous reconciliation? Also, did this cover also cost $212 000 or did they cut corners this time?

With the fast acceleration and deceleration times of EMUs, wouldn't the addition of a Park Lawn stop be roughly the same as the pre-electrified travel times? I mean, the existing GO guidelines are based on diesel double-deckers, with RER I would expect the standard to change for what...
