    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    100% the TFWs are a form of wage suppression. I rarely go to Tim Hortons but definitely don't feel bad about not going knowing they have been lobbying for this. I know all these corporations are doing it though. It's really gives me the ick that they are so desperate to suppress wages that they...

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    I think the wheelchair symbol makes the lines not very visually appealing. Since most of the stations are accessible, maybe they should just highlight the ones that aren't accessible and leave the rest in white.

    I had to walk to the TD Bank today so I took this pic on my way back.

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    Geographically accurate won't look good on a subway map. Besides if you want that, you have Google Maps transit layer.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Let's see what the actual speed is first. I can't comprehend how an LRT in its own lane will be slower than a bus.

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    If you look at the full map it looks like they're going with "Eglinton & Hurontario" and "Dundas & Hurontario" for those station names. Which in and of itself is fine, but then there's "Jane and Finch" station on the Finch West line, and of course we have "Eglinton" on the "Eglinton Line", and...

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    Honestly I think 24-hour time would be more confusing, not less. Then you need to mentally convert it to 12-hour time, which is not efficient and goes against the idea of making things easier to read. We don't live in Europe, 24-hour time is not the standard here, even though Metrolinx uses it.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I feel bad for Finch West getting the most drab and boring colour possible...Metrolinx Grey.

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I shudder to think at what Metrolinx comes up as for stop names on the Hurontario line. Even to now the project site shows that stop names are subject to change. What are they going to call Eglinton?

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Oh it's not just you. I live right by Hurontario on Elm Drive, and trust me it is extremely slow. Actually that is not quite. It's not so much that it's slow, as we go looooong periods of NOTHING happening. This summer very little work was done. All the work has been since Fall started. (I'm...

    Canada and the World

    Honestly I think EBT is just a troll. I skip over his messages as they are completely unreadable Russian propaganda. I think everyone should stop feeding the troll. He reminds me of the poster obsessed with running trains to northern Ontario who has derailed many a thread.

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The walkway is open but clearly not finished as of now. The sidewalk on the other side is supposedly closed, although I saw a jogger go through it.

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

    I have no issue with using intersections as station names (LA does this a lot) but it should be consistent. TTC was already using Sheppard-Yonge and Bloor-Yonge. I hate that Metrolinx used "Jane and Finch" as a station name which messes up the consistency. Nevermind the Eglinton disaster. In...

    Toronto Toronto | BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    I haven't been to BMO Field in a while, but it really isn't pleasant on colder days.

    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    Does this make the stupid tunnel impossible? No. But I think it clearly shows that it is a bad idea and will see its own problems if it ever goes ahead. I really don't expect it to though.

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

    Someone said that Hurontario's delay is proportionally worse than Eglinton's. And we still have lots of time for even more delays on Hurontario. So I sadly think Hurontario will take the crown :-/

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    Is this what a GO station would look like with high platforms?

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    Honestly I just tune out the announcements. I get more annoyed at the lack of additional trains on the Milton line than the "annoying" announcements. The only ones that really annoy me are the marketing ones.

    The scam of Canadian immigration

    I've seen similar stuff posted on Twitter about their analogous program, with similar roles being opened up to foreign workers, e.g. gas stations, 7-11s, Burger Kings, etc. I'm sorry if you can't find anyone here willing to work then that means the pay is too low. Which is exactly why they're...

    TTC: RapidTO Bathurst Street

    I for one love the red paint. I know it's just paint, but it's a great visual for drivers. Whether drivers will get the message or not, I don't know. But they'll definitely see the red paint.
