What if Line 5 "extension" opens before the Line 5 itself? That feat should find a place in Guinness Book of World Records, I think.

They usually get their for 6:xx and a lot of them live further out. I don't see them waking up 40 mins to an hour earlier to take transit.

Transit isn't even an option for many. Tons of them are coming in from out of the city, and transit services don't run early enough or frequent enough or reliably enough to get them in on time. Let alone the question of getting boots, extra clothes, and gear over there.
Our transit system is really designed with 9-5 office workers in mind. It's not great for riders outside those parameters

That would make sense, but Avenue station won't have a bus terminal, which would be odd unless it continued to Eglinton.

That's started already!? Would it be done by 2030?

Why have a bus terminal when the bus is running from end to end on the street like the 97 does as an all day line??
That video is how old??
As far as I know and stand to be corrected, no EA has started for the extension nor has the GTAA comment to the plan or funding for it. If there is an EA out there, it will have to be dusted off as the transit hub was never in the picture at the time.
If funds could be found for the extension alone with approve EA, 2033-35 would be the timeframe for everything to service the airport. That is VIA, GO Transit, Crosstown and the GTA transit systems.

It's in the design and negotiation stage between the GTAA (federal government), Ontario governement, Metrolinx, and Mississauga government. Which means years or decades before your grandchildren will see it.

I was referring to the Avenue Rd. bus, which I thought was maybe still split as the Nortown West. I didn't realize when I posted it was now combined.
I didn't actually watch it. I just saw the link and got excited.

Caledonia Station is even deeper. It is at the crest of the hill going down to Keelesdale Station.
The bored tunnels are deep to reduce the transmission of vibration and noise to the surface. Should be quieter than the Line 2 Bloor-Danforth, which was cut-n-cover.

With lighter trains and deeper tunnels, I doubt there will be any noticeable transmission of noise or vibration to nearby residents.Caledonia Station is even deeper. It is at the crest of the hill going down to Keelesdale Station.

The deep tunnels will be great bomb shelters if we are ever unlucky enough for World War 3.

No colour allowed. Some orange accents would be nice though...
