I can also see the current 501 diversion being made permanent. No, not an ROW, but an ability to turn an important part of downtown into more of a pedestrian-focussed realm.

I wouldn't be sad to lose that ride completely. But this will be an improvement.

I think it’s missing key connections to other services. Not necessarily every TTC route—that would get too busy—but links to other transit operators and, at minimum, Line 1. One of the advantages of line-specific maps is that you have the space to show those connections, but they’ve chosen not...

Done.

Yeah, that's probably what I meant. And yes, I think a suburban catchment station makes sense. Especially one as well connected as McCowan will be.

They should use thew TTC roundel's to designate Line 1 and 6 on their maps.

Don Branch I thought too. If a second Toronto station were to be added prior to Peterborough, it's likely be where it crossed an expanded Line 4 (Brimley maybe?)

I think at least having Line 3 and whatever UPX becomes as the same technology makes a ton of sense, even if the service(s) are never branched/interlined.

There's been no chatter about Apple's return has there?

I hate those Lite Brite maps, but I indeed remember Adam Giambrone saying at the time that they were expandable.

If the interim periods were identical to Line 6 (Finch), Line 5 (Eglinton) would open on January 8, 2026.

On further inspection, Network Rail-operated stations, which includes many of London's largest are now free. I'll have to check next trip if the conditions are being maintained as well as they were.

I don't think that would happen though. I think we'd have branches with different service patterns. Similar to Montreal's REM or even London's DLR.

This should never be something we all have to wonder about. Just make it permanent, and even expand it.

There’s been some chatter recently. Since the technologies will eventually be similar—and the systems serve comparable roles in both the east and west—merging them isn’t an unreasonable idea. The real challenge would be figuring out how such a service interfaces with Union Station and the...

If it were a U.K. or (most of) mainland Europe station, you'd have to pay to enter the WC, but it would be constantly attended for cleanliness and security. Not popular to say here, but I do sometimes wonder if it is the better model.

Although, the counter-argument may be, if they can't foresee it working at a busy interchange station, how can they foresee retail working anywhere currently?

If UPX became part of the Ontario Line, you can even imagine more branches of Line 3, or at least its technology.

I wonder if the super-long red escalator will turn green.

Wouldn't "projects and progressing studies" include the Bolton line? If so, it seems to be missing.
