At least there’s a pedestrian connection to the platform at Kipling.

I would guess the main thing is that VIA is such a small player, and if Amtrak is ordering basically the same thing soon, then it makes sense for them to piggyback off Amtrak’s larger order, even if it means we get ours later.

I mean he's not wrong. It seems transit decisions are made according to who whines the loudest.

It is still a question mark as to why. So people want to live next to a hospital and a second-tier mall? I just don't see Erin Mills or Eglinton becoming pedestrian-oriented streets, well, ever. And there's like not really any secondary roads around them to develop a proper street grid. These...

I don't think the demand is the problem. Look at the Lakeshore and Kitchener lines. If you add service, ridership follows. Milton would do well if it had two-way all-day service.

Holt's is a bit out of place at Square One. But I wouldn't say all the luxury brands are misplaced at Square One. I think certain ones make some sense. Like I wouldn't necessarily call Zara "high end" but it is a higher price point and it seems to be doing well. I think an Abercrombie or...

If people think Square One is hostile to pedestrians, I'd argue Eglinton and Erin Mills Pkwy are a lot worse. They're both 6 lanes each, with dual left turn lanes, and both are very busy roads. I think calling them stroads is overly generous. I can't really understand why people would want to...

I'm really disappointed that a red light doesn't deter dumb drivers. However, considering I have seen drivers go straight through full on regular red lights in Mississauga (where I'd argue it's far more dangerous and likely to result in a car-on-car collision), I guess it shouldn't surprise me...

If the express time is 23 minutes, seems hardly worth the reduction in service at Bloor and Weston.

It's deleted so I guess they realized their mistake.

I understand cutting Weston. But why Mount Dennis and not Bloor?

So the new Milton line trains they added are 1. Departing Milton at 6:43 am (in between trains that are now scheduled for 6:28 and 6:58 am--it seems all trains are scheduled for a minute earlier and arriving at Union at the same time, which makes sense I guess because the trains are always late...

As mentioned in the video, an important part for the hotel brands and the people staying there is the points. Lots of companies use a franchise model. Just because your McDonald's or your Hilton is franchised, doesn't mean it's not a McDonald's or Hilton.

Toronto could definitely learn from Montreal how to do public spaces and how to do bike lanes properly.

The Milton line, which I use any time I am in the office, definitely doesn't qualify as rapid transit, and won't for a very long even under the most optimistic scenarios. As for Lakeshore West, it's not fully grade separated, but other than that, I suppose it will be getting close.

I don't hate them, but I do think the parking is excessive.

We have two grade separated rapid transit lines? I mean the Mississauga Transitway I suppose you could count as one. what's the other?

I started to see this in the past few years as well.

I fully support the always red traffic lights on King. It's the exceptions which add to the confusion, and the added traffic lights especially adding to the confusion. I totally agree that the need to read signage at these kind of intersections is not good design. Why don't they just mount...

Stopped at a signal again today. Here’s a screenshot of where. Front Street and Portland is the closest intersection. At least we didn’t stop as long today.
