Tried replying earlier, seconding what @generalcanada said, we are all going off this article from the Trillium that came out after news broke about DB's operations contract being terminated...

I just want the GTHA to get better transit. I have experienced first hand how great transit can be abroad. Whether I am individually right or wrong doesn't matter. What matters is that hopefully we all get better transit in Ontario soonish and we keep Metrolinx honest. I think I speak for at...

Thank you Northern Light for the insight. Everyone, please feel free to correct me if you think my argument or numbers are wrong. Urban Sky: "You are describing the built network [...] as every single advanced network I can think of evolved gradually and/or steadily (rather than through a...

Let the record show that arrogant and ignorant was only used in the last main paragraph, following extensive references to sources that refute Urban Sky's worldview. This was my 3rd(?) reply to Urban Sky's offhand dismissals of my claim that GO Expansion is not in fact the most ambitious transit...

Read about the Sydney Metro, considering the fact that the provincially funded GO Expansion has been descoped to ~100km of Lakeshore West and East, then yes, that 113km project is in fact larger than GO Expansion and has both larger station count and track length than GO Expansion. Whether or...

Considering speculation is that Revenue Service Demo started August 3rd, then it can only be a December 21st opening or later. August 3rd + RSD 30 days +Certification of Substantial Completion 14 days + 90 days bedding-in

Looks like a December 21st opening folks. 30 days brings us to September 2nd. 14 days after that to certify for substantial completion. Then finally 90 days for bedding in. This brings us to December 15, 2025. ""Substantial Completion", which is expected to be 14 days after the completion...

Anyone have an account? When do these services commence in the tendered contract?

There is still hope for November 16th, which needs to be announced by August 18th. After that it's game over for a 2025 opening imo.

I am wrong and you are definitely correct, I incorrectly went off the 42 day/6 week cycle as seen in the last X months: https://stevemunro.ca/ttc-scheduled-service-summaries/ Also I was wrong about the 14+30+90 day horizon, it's actually more like 14+30+14+90 (trial running, revenue service...

My bad, I meant bedding-in, but RSD has not even started yet. 90 days is a best case scenario after "substantial completion" or "SC", and SC occurs after 30 days revenue service has been completed. 14 day trial running has not even been confirmed to have started. That all means a horizon of 120...

Extremely surprised noone has mentioned this today or over the last few days. Today, July 28th is exactly 90 days from October 26, 2025, the start of the TTC board period exactly 42 days after the September 14, 2025 board period. Given that it has been hypothesized that Line 5 cannot start...

The wikipedia articles (some I did not link directly) are all out there in the public eye. You dismissing something out of hand does not mean the evidence does not exist to condemn the relative slowness of the GO RER/GO Expansion project or the TTC's subway expansion. Sydney will likely have...

National HSR in China run by China Railway (CR, formerly CRH) expanding at 3000km per year, including 'intercity' lines that run trains with shorter routes and more frequent stops (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Railway_High-speed, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_China)...

Ask any SNC Lavalin alumuni from that era, they literally paid for Gaddafi's son to sleep with ___workers in the SNC office. Gaddafi's son was given a "job" at SNC in Montreal, for which he was paid a "salary"...

What you did was regurgitate and rehash information that has been posted to this thread at least half a dozen times. On this thread, we knew about the water leaks at Eglinton Station (Yonge and Eglinton) well over a year ago, water table, rusted out due to water, station box sinking etc... What...

Either provide proof, or be quiet. Noone here is a fan of SNCorrupt Lavalin/Atkins Realis but these highly speculative, if not libellous statements are completely unproductive and not conducive for a constructive discussion on this forum.
