What actual work have the started on Sheppard? Moving water mains and utilities?
I am not a fan of less important projects getting built first. Sorry but the Yonge Subway Line (not the Sheppard East bus route) is where I waste ample time traveling to and from work.
What am I complaining about? I'm getting a car in 3 weeks and leaving the TT 'SHITTY' C forever!
Yet if it was a bus running in the same lane it would be called BRT...
Yes. But why is BRT always called rapid, even when it's slower than the LRT in question?
What BRT is going to be slower than Sheppard East?? I sorely doubt that Viva will be slower. Viva is being built for speed. SELRT is being built for prettiness.Yes. But why is BRT always called rapid, even when it's slower than the LRT in question?

The TTC is advertising it as Rapid Transit. If York wanted to just have pretty BRT lanes, they could have made them tiny to squeeze in an extra lane of traffic per direction, but they didn't. The stops are totally comparable in spacing to the B-D, and the ROW's more than large enough to run busses quite fast. If the TTC wanted to put this work into TC, they could have. But they sacrificed the speed of a LRT to a half commitment, strung up on the idea that LRT should look nice before actually going fast.So in that respect of course it'll be faster, but not because it's built for speed, it's because Hi-way 7 is built for speed in most sections.
