The Windsor-Quebec corridor has well over 20 million people at this point. That's more than a lot of European countries including Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, Sweden, Greece, Denmark, etc., all of which have highly developed rail networks. The lack of European solutions here isn't because...

Oh that's good to know, I hadn't noticed them before. We're slowly dismantling the silos between agencies. I was just saying that it can be done either way - the same screens or separate. Putting them on the same screens can work just fine. The ones in Milan have 20 departures from multiple...

I don't think it would be horrendous at all. It would be very useful for someone going from, say, Ottawa to Port Credit, a trip that would include both systems. As GO expands (and, optimistically, Via too), these types of mulit-agency trips are only going to get more common. Most train stations...

Well done.

Lol I see that the post you're quoting is two years old. Unfortunately in the last two years Elon Musk has gone increasingly off the deep end. And while normally most people don't care about the politics of a company CEO, Elon has made himself a very outspoken public figure. So his politics are...

There's no good reason for them to stop anywhere. Mississauga is building an extensive cycling network of its own after all, even if it is mostly poorly designed. 4.4% as Northern Light mentioned. And that's only going to go up. Travel habits are adjusting to the new cycling infrastructure...

Bikes take up a lot less space than cars. So the same amount of space moves more people on bikes than in cars. I wouldn't be so quick to conclude that capacity is being decreased at all. Vehicle travel times are just one of many measures of the success of city streets. There's a reason that the...

^That 20,000 number will go down and the 400 will go up. The way we build our streets has a big impact on how people use them, as has been shown with other similar projects. In any case, I'm not sure what these observations are trying to prove exactly. It takes time for people's habits to...

It could be a deliberate choice. Most classical columns were made with multiple segments, which you can see in the Parthenon in Athens for example. Monolithic columns like at the Pantheon in Rome were more rare. https://nypost.com/2014/01/26/the-secret-history-of-the-parthenon/

The Brickworks diversion is how I ride this route. It's easy and direct and takes you right to the lights to cross Bayview. The problem is that wayfinding is basically nonexistent so the turn from the Belt Line to the Brickworks connection is very easy to miss. I've done that trail after...

The Centennial Fountain in Peterborough was inspired by the original in Geneva. https://www.thestar.com/autos/a-weekend-in-peterborough-the-land-of-lakes/article_4dc1671a-e5c5-51bd-be4c-df7e7dd80ffa.html

This is why I have a Bike Share membership. I pretty much limit my own bike to recreational rides. If I'm actually going somewhere where the bike will be left for more than a few minutes then I'll use a Bike Share bike. No need to worry about theft. The only problem is the scarcity of available...

I went by the legislature the other day and the public realm in the front and back of the building really is appalling. An expanse of cracked asphalt filled with cars and delivery trucks, temporary fencing, and haphazardly placed temporary planters acting as barriers, all surrounded by a moat of...

You have to remember that we're going to have a lot more options when that area is built out, including the Ontario Line and upgraded Stouffville Line. That will reshape travel patterns around the city. I would imagine that a lot of east end Line 5 riders will transfer at Kennedy or Science...

It would be great to see an extensive passenger rail system in Alberta. But colour me skeptical. We've seen lots of rail plans come and go over the years. If this is genuine I'd be interested in knowing how they plan to get around the problems with host railways that Via has been struggling with...

I find it funny that people refer to a rental project as a condo.

Even in 30-50 years I don't see it happening for hydrogen. A big part of reducing costs is scale. Hydrogen lacks that completely and isn't going to have it for personal transportation in the foreseeable future. Batteries have scale in spades, with millions of EVs now being produced every year...
