TransitApp croudsourced tracking works. No tracking at stations.

A proposal presented to the TTC board next week could give the transit agency the green light to enter into a 15-year contract with Vancouver-based ad agency Adtrackmedia. The advertising company uses a system similar to a flip book — in parts of Vancouver’s SkyTrain system, 360 vertical LED...

Well, Markham did study a strategic business case of a station at Box Grove. That doesn't mean that there will be one though. https://pub-markham.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=81330

@zurban Steve Munro has a table for the Sunday GTFS data. Though, the city will be running earlier trains not on the schedule for the first trip. https://stevemunro.ca/2025/12/02/finch-corridor-sunday-morning-timetables/

So @ssiguy2 might be happy. Reece Martin suggests that the USRC might not be electrified. Saving money from the train shed but also some bridges in the core. Battery trains. This is his analysis of the recent Metrolinx board documents on Go Expansion...

@stevensontransit So, that was just the public consultation on the proposed changes in the 2026 Annual Transit Plan. They refine the proposed changes, and need to get approval from regional council. Instead of the proposed 5% increase in service hours, they allocated for a 4% increase in service...

He's been since Sep 16th?

I like this image, 300m from the subway station.

From Steve Munro, TTC 2026 Budget Preview. They're doing something similar by keeping the buses and operators as a "contingency".

Regarding consultation, Alto, the subsidiary of Via Rail that is developing the project, will be holding its first round of public consultations on its proposed route this winter, focusing on a broad corridor for the track. Two more rounds of consultations on a firmer route will take place over...

Seems to be fantasy land to suggest discontinuing the Sheppard Line. I think using the 407 Transitway RoW makes more sense for RT.

Union Station's New Concourse

They recently gave an update on Go Expansion. They plan to have the electrified UP Express run every 7.5 mins to Pearson.

They don't mention all stop so it's possible, there's some express configuration for UP?

The document suggests that is only required for 60 min off peak service to Stouffville and they can do 120 min off peak service without that. It seems reasonable? The only question is whether running the service is worth it to them, the demand could be low.

Interesting that the Barrie corridor got descoped a bit. The original goal was 15 min to Aurora and 60 min to Barrie. The 15 min commitment to Aurora was quite public, repeated everywhere. They decided on 15 min to Maple, 30 min to Aurora, 60 min to Bradford, 120 min to Allandale. --- Regarding...

Also, claims that Indigenous consultation started years ago, and that all indigenous groups along the corridor were are board, last they checked.

This isn't the full plan. These are additional lines, low chance.
