You could easily run a replacement streetcar (with several possible loops) from Exhibition Loop to West Harbour hitting all the stations. And then you can use a replacement bus from West Harbour station to Don Valley station that effectively combines the 25 and 72 buses, but only stopping at all...

2000 metres? That seems longer than we were discussing here a few years ago. Can you provide a reference? Or is this just coming from a Nimby fake news site?

I don't know why you'd duplicate the 407 Transitway, when you are already getting quite close to it.

Service currently starts a couple of hours earlier on Saturday mornings. It starts at 20-minute service, but goes to 14 minutes (departing Kennedy) at about 6:30 AM and about 7.5 minutes by 7 AM.

Not for the first hour or so of service in a day. I'd guess that this will change when the line fully opens.

The arrival time accuracy has certainly been noted by many. What time was it? There's some pretty scheduled long gaps first thing on the late-start Sunday mornings before 9:30 AM. Looking at westbound departure times from Cedarvale, the first train is at 8:13 AM. Then 21 minutes later at 8:54...

A wise policy. For decades I never thought I'd be here again. Though the reason we started this discussion was your prediction that "the drop in the US travel is temporary".

And yet you don't have even a single example. Especially of those first on the scene carrying long guns.

How did it come about that they were at the scene with long guns when the incident happened? Which incident was. That was kind of my point. I can identify one in London in 2007. I'm struggling for ANY here, let alone one.

They couldn't have brought in the long guns later? Still, no one has answered the question. When was the last time?

I'd think there was some right-hand and left-hand. Operations weren't in the know clearly. But the department that deals with the overhead, I'd guess, that someone was aware of generally what the limits were. If it was me I'd have made a single low-key vague warning, and then sat back and...

There's more capacity for streetcars at Dufferin Gate loop than they usually use, even after matches. And generally they go as fast as they overload them at Exhibition loop after a match; with only half going up Bathurst there's a limit on how many they can run. I'm not sure which section of...

Not surprising given that maps is years old, before Ontario Line was finalized. Still, Eglinton East, east of the Brentcliffe portal was all but finished back then.

No one was cornered on the streetcar. It was completely empty otherwise. Had there been police on the streetcar at the time, they'd have plenty have time to call in one of their friends to do the execution. Once again I ask. When was the last time the police needed to use a gun on the TTC...

I think they, used to ship to that lumber supplier in St. Jacobs. Home Hardware too ... but is that still done? Unless something is changed, there's no way there's be enough traffic to justify the other two - and it's not like there'd be the challenge of moving the toxic chemicals to and from...
