    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    That's not true. It allows buses to travel without being impeded by traffic or traffic lights. Just because people don't park to use the system doesn't mean it's useless.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Even when the combined queen and king car was diverted along Richmond and Adelaide streetcars had to wait for cars to make a turn resulting in terrible travel times. 4 streetcars lined up waiting for one person in a car to mta turn. Makes no sense.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    At major stops they could have at least built something that has 3 sides so that you can hide from the elements. They can do it for VIVA stops they should be able to do it for LRT. Also waiting 20 minutes with ice pellets coming down is torchure. At least bus stops had shelter and it was faster...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Snow on switches caused it to be shut down as well as communication issues. Maybe it would be a good idea to have crews actually proactively clean the switches. It's not like they didn't know it was going to snow. Seems like a no brainer

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    I do see the York university shuttle here and there. Has that been reliable? But that's different from doing 200km per day 3-4 days a week to 500 every day 6-7 days per week.

    We did and they are all out of service

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I would think that they don't want revenue service trains until everything is worked out. They need to come up with a plan. (Don't have one yet) They need to implement it which probably requires re-programming the signals Testing and teathing until it works 30 days burn in where it works as...

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    Are the batteries the actual problem?

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I think you need to keep in mind that there is no supplementary bus service on this route. Just because you can walk 380m doesn't mean a senior citizen or someone with a disability can. It might be too close but to double it would be almost one km. If the downtown Streetcar on king St can be as...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Closing stations would be a waste of money. If the trains can hit 50kmph that alone is a huge difference.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Probably want to implement transit priority and test it before it opens. I would say June 30th at the earliest. They have to re-time all the signals, test it and then do a 30 day burn in without any issues, and the clock goes to 0 when there is. Not to mention all the time they need to tweak...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    So in guess the ION extension to Cambridge would be the only tender for more flexity's. Unless the TTC decides it needs more streetcars

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Which rolling stock is to be used for Hamilton LRT? Could they build flexity's?

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The biggest issue is that when it's actually cold outside the doors open so frequently that it never warns up. Today was zero degrees. Imagine riding it when it's -15 with a -25 windchill? Are you saying that someone can get injured by opening the door before the LRT comes to a stop if they...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I think Rogers has turned on 5G in random tunnels including Finch to Sheppard and Spadina to St Clair W. Please correct me if I'm wrong. ALao there is now a Tim's in the fair paid area at Sheppard Yonge where Starbucks used to be.

    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    It has been mentioned on this board multiple times.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Different systems, different ridership. Can't paint everything with the same brush.

    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    These trains will be maintained in Toronto not North Bay. This is because TMC is a Siemens maintenance facility. It's not worth it to build another facility In North Bay for three trainsets.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Yup. If you miss your chance get off at the new stop. The only one that shouldn't have a lock out is the handicap one.
