    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I could stop posting about the Crosstown, but when people start riding it, they too will start complaining about it. You can try to ignore this problem, but the consequences will be reduced ridership, cramped trains and constant operational snafus. nothing is hyperbole. Most of the riders who...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The glaring inefficiencies, baffling design choices, the juxtaposition of the elevated Ontario Line, and terrible experience that riders cannot help but notice, are the necromancers that will keep resurrecting this dead horse, so that we can flog it to death once more. The first time riders can...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Wrong reasons leading to the right outcome

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Except that the 4 car Sheppard train carries 948 people at crush load and 3 crosstown cars carry 750 people at crush load. So trams that are longer to carry the same number of people as a subway car

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Penny wise and pound foolish because as has been discussed to death already, low floor means less capacity per dollar spent. Yea we spent an extra 3B$ on the underground stations to make them longer to accomodate the longer trams, but at least we saved 10M$ on the concrete used for the outdoor...

    Zoning Reform Ideas

    How many properties are exempt from the City Wide Zoning bylaw ?

    Are we really doing elimination of parking minimums on a case-by-case basis? That would be really disappointing.

    Is this a cracked foundation slab under the new station or the old yonge-line station?

    Great Platform Height Debate: Subway-Style Level Boarding for GO Trains

    Where did you hear this rumor from? I feel like this is not true, and might just be impossible to do and be cheaper than buying new cars.

    Or just expropriate a 10m wide strip of the golf club? Or if might be sold off to a developer, https://www.yorkregion.com/news/developer-bids-250-million-for-auroras-beacon-hall-golf-club/article_0d67689a-9064-5ba6-9bb6-cc492ef3edf9.html negotiate with the developer for a 10m wide strip.

    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    Financed by the redevelopment of land around the high speed stations

    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    This is so fucking stupid. For 50 billion dollars build an elevated quad track over / next to the 401/Gardiner/ DVP/416 and get high speed rail running between Windsor, London, KW, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    The oldest bilevels are about 50 years old and as they get sold off or scrapped, EMUs will replace them as backfill. Additionally, increased levels of service or increased ridership could mean EMUs being bought to help carry that load. Theres also the higher levels of commuter rail spend down...
