Just curious, would a fare increase of the UP Express, maybe even to the launch fares, have been more palatable than removing half the stops from half the trains?

I understand that the each local transit agency and Metrolinx are responsible for communicating the scope and proper uses of the One Fare Program, but I have to wonder why riders would even be allowed to get on non-TTC buses with a TTC paper transfer. Are bus operators suppose to at least try to...

Don't forget the near impossibility to get extended east to Hwy 404.

This report says there are provisions for a third track, but I'm not well versed enough to know if this was actually the case in the final design and construction.

The website does says it should open in June 2024. This is just speculation on my part, but I think they are waiting for the completion of the 16th Ave widening before opening the HOV lanes on Hwy 404. However, that makes no sense as the main widening for twin underpasses is already complete so...

It's the chair colour that should have been on the trains. :mad:

Other than frequency, level boarding, and Pearson connection, is there anything UP Express trains have over GO trains on Kitchener line for commuting or as rapid transit? Do they have better acceleration and max speed for closer stop spacing from DMU vs locomotive and shorter length? Do they...

Google Streetview caught a bike in the bus lane. :D

Is the platform at Science Centre Station long and wide enough to support the large loads for a split line cross platform transfer operations arrangement?

That wait time was greatly reduced with the dedicated bus lanes and vertical white bar transit signal phase, but Viva Purple was cut back to Richmond Hill Centre a year after that section of rapidway opened so it couldn't make use of it for very long. I believe Viva Orange westbound now uses...

There are guaranteed to be jaywalkers who go west instead of east to cross Eglinton unless there is enforcement. This will be just like the Viva stop "at" Yonge and Major Mackenzie, but at least it won't be a major transfer location.

There were plans to have dedicated Viva lanes from Promenade Terminal to Finch Station as shown in the map from 2017, but that has since been removed the last one I saved and the current one.

Wouldn't they need to redo the whole sign since Eglinton East should be represented by LRT train rather than subway train?

Sign already outdated. :p

Reminds me of Viva Purple. :p

So nice of those pedestrians to pose for Street View. Although if you rotate the camera 180 degrees you'll see the island is unpaved when the photo was taken.

Is this considered parking in the bike lane?

Unidirectional fare gates means dedicated enter and exit gates right? This prevents people from opposing directions trying to go through the same gate, thus increasing flow rate. Green arrow for those you can go through from your direction and red X for those you can't. The number of enter and...

I personally don't want it as it could reduce safety, but I can understand drivers who are annoyed by left turn only on green arrow signals not being able to turn when road and sidewalk are empty or on yellow light.

Don't you mean the "York Region deserves a third TTC Subway Line and we can show it" VIVA route? :p
