I'd agree if there was any coordination between highways crossing provincial boundaries as a consistent unit, but more often or not there isn't. There are only 2 freeways that cross the Ontario-Quebec border: 401/A20, and the 417/A40. The A5 and A50 just kinda end and awkwardly become King...

Honestly I disagree. One of the things I like about each province having their own highway signage is it lets each province have an independent character when it comes to highways. Different signage, numbering rules, styles let the provinces express themselves in their own unique way, and...

Lines 8 and 9 are "reserved" for the Jane and Sheppard East LRTs respectively by the TTC. Presumably Line 9 will be designation of the route that runs between Sheppard-McCowan and Malvern town Centre of Phase 2 of Eglinton is ever built (let alone Phase 1)

This reminds me of how Ottawa changed the layout of Lincoln Fields Station of the O-Train extension, replacing a convenient spanish solution for a cross-platform transfer in favour of a design that required people to transfer by going up and over the tracks because they were concerned of people...

The problem isn't travelling on the 407, the problem is the station accesses. Its great, GO Busses are able to fly down the 407 at high speeds never worried about traffic, but the moment the bus has to leave the 407 to serve a Park and Ride or a GO/TTC Station, everything goes downhill. Existing...

To which the answer is "Much Higher". Trucks represent a much higher modal share of goods transportation in Europe compared to NA, where much of the traffic is diverted to Freight trains.

Anyone have an update on what's going on with the 404 widening north of the 407? This project has been going on for 6+ years now, and it looks no more finished than it did 2 years ago.

London is currently going through the project of separating and naming the various London Overground routes, and the whole project costs $4M for much of the same reason, needing to redesign/reprint maps, change around signage, etc. The Extra $3M there simply comes from the fact that they're...

Ask New York City why they have a subway station called "High Street" on the A/C lines, despite the fact that "High Street" hasn't existed in half a century. Simply put, most people are used to the station being called that and don't want it to change.

To be fair, I imagine the reasons why it initially failed wouldn't necessarily apply here. The primary problem with the 3 line plan was that you had trains heading out to the Keele and Woodbine coming in on both platforms. Without any sort of electronic signage indicating on which platform the...

Can someone explain the logic to me? Because Ford cancelled station upgrades 4 years ago, that means Ford doesn't care about Milton and thus this is a political ploy to win a seat? This makes no sense, its not like Metrolinx only started working on Milton Expansion in the last 6 months because...

The western extension. We're talking about service changes of today.

That's like 8 years from now...

The final market affected is weekend service. Since Kitchener trains will still only be hourly, Bloor and Weston have now lost 2TPH with nothing to compensate for it.

I swear they've parroted the 2027 (specifically they said it was 17 months late) like 1.5 years ago? Whatever, have the pics from the article: Glad to see C&C tunnels being built in current year.
