    I love subways too. Call me jaded, but politicians have a way of saying they'll do something and then not doing it once elected. I dunno. Anyway, updated map!

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    The thing that bugged me about Transit City was how disjointed it was. It seemed like it was slapped together. The Finch LRT came to an abrupt stop at Yonge. The Sheppard subway was not connected to Downsview, but instead carried east using an LRT. Madness! So how's about this. Seeing as how...

    Transit City and traffic lights

    I think it would be a good idea to link up the traffic light controllers along, say, Eglinton. It must be possible, a simple computer algorithm can do it. The red lights can be coordinated with station stops and green lights for all other intersections. If left turns onto Eglinton are being...

    Transit City and traffic lights

    I read that the LRTs will have to stop for red lights at intersections, which in my mind takes away from the advantage of having a dedicated lane. Is it possible to synchronize the traffic signals so that the LRTs make station stops at red lights (assuming they stop before the intersection), but...

    yllianos: That's a great map! Even with North on one side, it's really clear and uncluttered and it looks slick too. I'd add the lake as a blue area on the right side, just for some perspective :D

    Far in the future. TO has landed in a pile of money and has an exploding population. Woooooooooo...

    scroll up a bit to find the latest version of the map, you'll find it's covered! (just not with the TTC) :D

    Coruscanti Cognoscente: you're right. Mississauga and the rest of Peel are left out, and as a Mississaugan, that's just not right. Rather than have a Toronto subway line tunneling into the heart of Mississauga, I've added a Peel region LRT system. That way, you avoid messy jurisdictional issues...

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Wooooo I'm now in the fictional map business! Alas, I will probably never see this kind of transit system for Toronto in my lifetime (and I'm only in my early twenties!)

    Sure, go right ahead. I'm flattered! As for my name... just use my forum name. I don't want the TTC to know my name, lest the map somehow upsets Chairman Giambrone. ;) Also, I will go ahead and switch the colours on the LRT lines.

    Version 8 of the map. This has most of the LRT stations removed, leaving only some important ones. The lack of anything on Sheppard West looks like a big hole in the map!

    Maybe the best way is to put the LRT lines on the map, indicate what street they run on, but omit all the individual stop names to keep the map simple and uncluttered.

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Version 7! Now with GO goodness and the planned Yonge subway extension. I tried so hard to keep it uncluttered, but maybe there simply are too many LRT stations for a practical map. Ah well, it was worth a shot.

    Ok guys, here's the sixth version of my Transit City map!

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    I will fool around with the Eglinton line and see what it looks like with a thick portion marking the underground stretch. As for why I didn't extend it to the airport... lack of information regarding routing near the airport. I'll figure something out though! Also, I totally neglected the end...

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Thanks for the input guys! I know the map isn't really cool because it's not a fantasy map (I totally think the Eglinton LRT should be a full subway, but the LRT will be much better than multiple, short-turning buses). Anyway, here is the new version of my Transit City map. Any ways I can...

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    I need to be a little more imaginative with station names. I have a Neilson station on the Sheppard LRT line, and to the west, an 'Almost Neilson' station :D I could get rid of the streetcar lines downtown and reduce the LRT lines to a thinner red stroke. I will also try to fix the Sheppard...

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Hello. I'm new here, but I've been following this forum for a little while, and I use the TTC all the time. I thought I'd try to make a map. It shows the subway system, streetcar lines, and the planned Transit City LRT lines, using stops that I gathered from wikipedia. See anything wrong with it...
