There should have at least been as assessment of using trolley buses on busier routes, it can't make sense to have a bus every three minutes carrying a big battery pack that needs downtime to recharge, loses range in the winter and we do know how to string overhead wires. Battery powered...

It was designed years ago when the big P3 contract for the line was awarded, that was how bike lanes were done then, changing the contract would be too expensive. But I do remember something about the city wanting to add curbs over the painted lines.

I disagree with that argument also, the same vehicles are being used as LRT elsewhere, and there are differences between the Eglinton vehicles and the downtown streetcars, such as width, doors, number of motors, turn radius.

The Eglinton underground stations are not as long, 90m vs 150m. An Eglinton Subway would not have made it east of Yonge by now, and we would have been lucky if serious planning was underway to make it to Don Mills,

This is a bit out to lunch, 50 years from now? Paying for 50 years of maintenance and operations for a subway that won't be needed until then is a massive waste.

Those Subway and GO interchanges will drain more riders from the line than they add at the busiest section. Your cost figure includes 25 years of maintenance and operations, If everyone somehow got ridership projections wrong and this ridership will jump from mixed traffic buses to a full...

Each track has it's own structural supports, if pairs of locomotives are an issue, then side by side shouldn't be.

Most flights to Europe are, otherwise you'll arrive in the middle of the night, and the return flight is inconvenient.

What would that have done? More tunnels and bigger stations would not have solved the poor management and design decisions, and the outsourcing of all the knowledge and management experience. If it had been left as an in house TTC project, as part of an ongoing transit construction office that...

What does the approval for the plan on Eglinton mean here? Is it the Eglinton Connects plan, and is there funding or a timeline to build anything?

I know there have been plans in the past to build the DRL out farther. The switch to the OL line with its smaller stations and surface sections allowed it to be built out farther, some kind of backroom lobbying and interests must have been behind the switch. There is also the issue of the...

The Science Center and Ontario Place are where the lobbyists, developers and consultants who got the province to switch to the OL plan were looking to get rich off of property redevelopment.

Is the platform edge at Mount Dennis completed?

I found this video of the interior of a new Caltrain EMU, could be neat to have here.

We would be lucky if an Eglinton subway made it east of Yonge in the current round of construction, and it would never go east of Don Mills,

While on a southbound train approaching Wilson Operator announcement "This train will turn around at Wilson to be a northbound train" Staff on platform "This is southbound train"!!! Train destination sign "Vaughan" Operator announcement "This is a northbound train" Staff on platform "This...

If there has ever been a ridership study that demonstrates a Sheppard subway will have sufficient ridership, especially enough to make it a full-fledged subway, then it must be the most closely guarded secret ever.

Their design for the grade separation at Scarborough Junction only had three tracks continuing east on Lakeshore, with no apparent room for more, and there have been GO expansion plans in the past with four or more tracks, hence that it seems they forgot about work and plans they have already done.

Someone should remind them they had rebuilt Guildwood Station with room for a fourth track a few years ago, and then seemed to just forget.

There will be four tracks until the Stouffville line splits off, so the work must be for adding another track.
