    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Does this mean the signal upgrades are completed? All the way up to Allandale? TOS

    Munich Tops Europe Transit Study

    Zurich wasn't on the list. Zurich beats Munich hands down. TOS

    York Region Transit: Viva service thread

    Hey there extreme, Putting up a piece of paper at every stop is not that expensive, and well worth the cost. It is also WAY cheaper than having 'next bus' displays at every stop. Not that I don't like 'next bus' displays. I do. I think may be an example of not being exposed to...

    York Region Transit: Viva service thread

    I understand what you're saying, but, having lived in a place where the buses had schedules and they actually sticked to them, I have to disagree. It's far more convenient to look at the schedule, show up at the stop one minute before the scheduled arrival time, and get picked up on time. This...

    YRT/Viva Construction Thread (Rapidways, Terminals)

    I'm curious, where did you find the numbers on this? TOS

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Ok, this is weird: http://www.traingeek.ca/blog/2009/10/oddities-in-winnipeg.html What's a GO train doing in Winnipeg? Any ideas? TOS

    For those that are interested, the EA for the Richmond Hill line expansion has been posted: http://www.gotransit.com/PUBLIC/en/news/ea/richmondhill/ea_richmondhill.htm TOS

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I was wondering the same thing. I also notice, on the third slide, a 'Brantford expansion.' That one is news to me as well. Is Hamilton, or Burlington, being set up as the next GO hub, after Union? TOS

    Apparently the twinning of the Stouffville line is underway: http://www.georginaadvocate.com/News/Markham/article/93814 TOS

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Your argument seems to be one based on misplaced causality. Though obviously the existence of infrastructure allows certain zoning choices to be viable and others not, infrastructure does not, itself, lead to sprawl. Suburban sprawl is generated by poor local zoning choices. To see that this...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    GO transit's website finally has a 'Construction and EAs' webpage: http://gotransit.ca/PUBLIC/en/news/projectsandstudies.htm Notably absent are many of the EAs currently underway, such as the expansion to Waterloo and all day service to Milton, but at least it's a start. TOS

    York Region Transit: Viva service thread

    FWIW, there are two GO train stations as well, Maple and Richmond Hill. TOS

    No VIVA Route Expansion?

    Yes, I saw the 1.4 billion, but I wasn't sure if that was just for Highway 7 or if that included the segment in Newmarket, on Yonge St. and Davis Dr. What does that 67 km include? TOS

    No VIVA Route Expansion?

    Does anyone know the approximate cost per kilometre of Viva BRT dedicated lanes? Would it be possible for such a cost to be born by the region instead of the province? I recognize that this would require new taxes and as such is politically unlikely, but the ability to speed up the...

    No VIVA Route Expansion?

    I read somewhere that Major Mac will be the next Viva line. When this might happen I don't know. There are a number of trip generators along this route: the 400, Wonderland, Maple GO station, York Central Hospital, Yonge St. Viva, Richmond Hill GO station and the 404. That said, I have no...

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I have heard it said that there is no signalling on this line north of Aurora. If this is true, does signalling need to be installed to have bidirectional traffic? TOS

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Are you referring to all-day service, or something else? Speaking of which, do you know where the passing tracks are going to be installed? TOS

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Is there really a pressing need for this separation? Not that I'm complaining, since I'll benefit from it, but I've been riding the Barrie line for a while and have yet to ever be delayed because of traffic on the CP line. Or do you think that maybe the real reason for this being done is to...
