lol... Share it in the Transit Fantasy Maps

Care to share it?

Little unfun fact.... The Northlander has been shut down for almost as long as Eglington has been under construction.

Yes, they would tear down the buildings.

If it is the Northlander, Metrolinx should be banned from any future projects.

As someone who did that trip in December, that is more or less correct. I mean,if you are going to ride to where it starts, why not take the day and go to the ocean?

I know someone that when they are ready to sell, they can only sell to the MTO at market value.

I joined a group on FB that I thought would be on ALTO and the benefits of it. It was full of NIMBY. Their thinking is if they do not directly benefit from it, it is a bad thing. I left soon after I realized how negative it was. This picture is from that thinking. Ignoring west of Toronto,isn't...

In 15 years, once the first phase is built, I do not doubt that adding the airports along the route would make sense. This would likely also see a code share with AC. May even include a booking system that includes rail for some of the trip. But, all of this is 15+ years away.

I don't doubt that a phase 2, 3+ could see airport connections. This first phase, I doubt it. And with what has been released, I am more certain of it.

Why the focus on Montreal's airports when it is unlikely that ALTO will go to Pearson or Ottawa's airports?

It also assumes a world wide customer base too. No point in putting them on smaller ships if they are going out in the world.

If you have a small window to ship ore, putting it on larger ships makes more sense. Remember, both the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay freezes for around the same length of time, at the same time. If it were feasible to extend a line as close to the island on the mainland, that would make it even...

The North Bay platform has been finished since late fall.

And in the next 15 years, who knows what expansions the REM may look at.
