You are correct, though sodium will work its way into the low end of the market for short range vehicles. Really, sodium will be a small fraction of lithium battery production for quite some time. It takes time to scale production. There will be a market for pretty much all the new battery...

REM is not LRT despite what the locals call it. Or, at least not what is considered LRT in the Toronto context. To me LRT is typically low floor LRVs operating in a non-grade separated right of way. It could have wider stop spacing, but the lack of grade separation limits speed and limits the...

Proper treatments for Yonge, Front, Queen, King, etc. would involve fewer parking and vehicular lanes. Ford has mused about removing bus-only lanes as well.

Protecting 50 homeowners is madness. Expropriate with huge premiums to market value and land bank for future development.

This will probably need to wait until after the Ford era, sadly.

Their MPs are willing to exercise some independence partly because many will likely never make it to cabinet but they are not as utterly beholden to the leader for their nomination. In both Australia and the UK, MPs can unseat the leader fairly readily, while this is not common practice in...

I see speculation that this might be a ploy to get Trump to prioritize DDG(X), by making it bigger (on paper) adding some useless WWII reminiscent guns and naming it after Trump to appeal to his vanity. The end result may end up being very much like the DDG(X) as envisioned.

He's trying to cement his position as worst president in recent history.

We can only hope that US defense procurement is slow enough that these never make it off the drawing board before Trump dies, leaves office or gets bored.

Wondering if we should be importing Chinese BEV buses... they seem to have deployed a lot of them.

Why does GO need bilevel EMUs? Frequency please...

I also observed duty officers working security at LCBO, in suburban Mississauga.

He sounds more like Hitler with each passing day.

The 401 widening through Mississauga was a gong show that took the better part of a decade.

Spending a lot of money on transit is not the same thing as achieving results, unfortunately.

Don't forget they have high fuel taxes, as well.

And watching the painfully slow and difficult utility relocations and trackbed construction on Hurontario, I find it very hard to believe that a largely precast guideway installation would have been much costlier. The stations would cost more, but frankly in low density suburbs, these stations...

Skip the tunnel in Brampton and just do a short cut and cover stretch with an underground station at Brampton GO only. Save a billion dollars or two.

And it's not like Hurontario isn't very wide and not exactly an aesthetic masterpiece to be tarnished with a SkyTrain like line. And even the pushbox around Port Credit could have been avoided...

They really will need to go through and scrub every mention of him except for a small memorial to this dark time in American history.
