Delayed all these years, only to be Line 6 V2.0. Gotta love it!

Legacy media stuck in the early 2010s.

I hear you all the way and this is the type of bold vision we need in the corridors of power not only at City Hall but at Queen’s Park. Toronto has grown far faster, economically and socially, than the thinking behind these projects has managed to keep up with. The decision making is still...

It’s not mine, but it definitely caught my eye. He makes good content too.

It does not need to take four months. That’s the problem: LRT defenders have completely normalised mediocrity. “Oh, the entire line is shut down because of snow? That’s fine, it’s not as if cold weather is a known condition here.” “Oh, the trains are running at a crawl? No problem, wouldn’t...

The number of cars in a parking lot is a poor indicator of station use. In an ideal public transport system, the goal is that you do not need a car to access transit in the first place, so low park-and-ride usage is not a failure. Park-and-ride is a legacy concept rooted in car-dependent...

The Simpsons Monorail song really incapsulates everything doesn’t it….. “An LRT will do the job! Just ignore the detours and cost overruns! ELL ARE TEE….ELL ARE TEEEEE…..ELL ARE TEEEEEEEEEEE” “Mono….doh!”

I have yet to hear a single tourist describe Toronto that way. Lacking a large historic urban core because your city was established a century later than another does not make it bland. That is simply a poor argument. Toronto’s European settlement (York) dates to 1793, compared with Montreal’s...

This is precisely how the Hurontario LRT should have been approached. Trench it, keep it fully separated, and place the stations under the intersections, just like the Mississauga Transitway. That project literally existed as a ready-made case study, built in the same city, under the same...

Line 6 Finch West: No service between Finch West and Humber College stations due to a mechanical problem. Shuttle buses are running between Finch West and Humber College. It’s a FESTIVUS for the REST-OF-US….who would like to start the airing of grievances? They were built like that because...

100% agreed. In Toronto’s case, there shouldn’t even be an LRT to begin with. The city had three simple modes: subway, streetcar, bus. In a proper plan, St. Clair, Spadina, and Lakeshore streetcars would all be upgraded to modern, higher-capacity streetcars, while Finch West could be newly...

I concur with everything @urbanclient has said. No need for me to add any more commentary. I’m going to save this post and just reply to anyone who insists on calling midtown Toronto as “suburbia”.

Interesting. Setting aside all the corruption and money-laundering allegations, it does raise a more basic question: are LRTs actually as easy or as quick to build as they’re often sold to be? We now have multiple examples where the promise hasn’t matched reality. These projects are still...

Exactly this…..and I don’t even know how the 401 even came into this discussion. Line 4 should remain Sheppard period. Some folks on this forum have confused SimCity with reality…..trying to do some many things at once for no reason…..like the LIne 6 Subway/LRT/Streetcar nonsense they’ve built...
