    London Rapid Transit (In-Design)

    Uncommitted Community Transportation Grant funding was recently made available, MCC is running this route because they were able to access the funding as an existing CTG-funded service.

    London Rapid Transit (In-Design)

    There is no fare integration, this service is being operated by nor LTC or St Thomas Transit. And it depends how you define success... There will only be 4 daily round trips and other services operated by Voyago are dealing with frequent driver shortages and cancelled runs. Could easily be...

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

    Of course no one thinks of all the coyotes on the fringes of the Greenbelt that have been saved by building rapid transit which unlocks higher densities and allows people to avoid living in new urban sprawl.

    London Rapid Transit (In-Design)

    The money runs out in March 2025, so next year. The route as planned will not serve the Amazon plant, and the VW plant won't be up and running until 2027ish.

    2024 Mississauga Mayoral Byelection Transit Plans

    Seems like a potentially savvy move. 2026 is one budget away.. and he is probably banking on the fact that he needs more than the progressive vote to win. This provides a shield to defend him around being the "tax and spend" candidate, while giving him 3 budgets where he is free to raise taxes...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    Johnny Strides on youtube took a stroll down Eglinton from Kennedy to Victoria Park. Lots of LRVs active on the line!

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I do think it would make more sense to have the service pattern be "downtown local" which runs around the loop and a less frequent "express" which runs directly down Hurontario. Especially in the interim while there is only all-day GO access at Port Credit, forcing the transfer at Square One...

    Hamilton Toronto | Hamilton Line B LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Sorry... no. This is the population density map for Hamilton. Which line has more residents along its route? Commuting flows may feed from the low-density Mountain down into downtown, but doesn't actually mean the A-Line would be effective as it would require many residents to connect on local...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I commented on the Cycling Network interactive map when it first opened but looking at it now, all of my comments are gone. Anyone else have that experience? Are there just too many comments so they are only showing newer ones?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    This is an amazing article, I've had it bookmarked for like 2 years. Really is the bible in terms of what is needed for transit priority. Also really shows you how fundementally different the european context is - our car-oriented street design and frequent use of signalized intersections means...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    It seems like this issue could be solved easily by laying down yellow tactile strips in that "dark grey strip" area?

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    The currently operating branch of the REM terminates underground (I guess technically a re-constructed concourse of an existing underground station), and the Valley Line has a short cut-and-cover tunnel section as well.

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    All it would take is GO lowering fares within Toronto to equal the TTC fare to enable this. Not a huge leap once the first phase of fare integration is in place.

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

    You say this like its a done deal. The Relief Line North study was exploring alignments along Leslie, Don Mills, and Victoria Park, and I wouldn't be surprised to see MX look at other options to such running to Oriole GO via the RH corridor they own to minimize disruption and costs. Another...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    The schedules and service plans were decided years ago, and are contractually binding. The consortium gets penalized if service is behind schedule. They can't just change them so that it is "always behind schedule"..

    Ontario Line Extension West of Ontario Place (Speculation)

    If you know how Metrolinx works, the people who learned that lesson will switch to a totally unrelated department 8 months later, and their replacements (also coming from a totally unrelated department) will entirety lack that knowledge

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Too bad they aren't looking far ahead enough to Transitway LRT conversion. They could solve a lot of the operational problems with the loop by just having it be covered by a new east-west LRT corridor instead.

    Ottawa Transit Developments

    Can't find it now but there was a nice video today on LinkedIn by one of the SNC people involved. Great drone footage of the test running. Apparently they have commenced dynamic testing of the trains.
