With TTC eventually getting rid of all the older bus garages , maybe it was a good thing they didn't get new trolleys. The cost to upgrade all the facilities, and the massive cuts that were to happen in the mid 1990s. Would have made the 1990s financial situation worse. But replacing trolleys...

Any extra stop that the RT didn't serve would slow down service. It's bad enough the RT shut down the way it is, lets stop with the adding of stops. The amount of ppl using Tara won't justify the cost of the stop. Plus they could use 43 or 57 as they've done for 41+ years

Would it be better to reignite Pickering Airport? The Federal Liberals could potentially lose liberal support from downtown Toronto over this. I'm actually surprised we haven't heard anything from the Federal NDP over this issue. I guess they see the long game of potentially supporting the...

Looks like Queensway operators are getting trained on Nova Hybrids. So this would be good use for 203. They have the capability of running on battery only based on Geo-fencing

I realize that. But it's a weekend a weekend only service. They cab easily get an EV from Mount Dennis.

I hear you, I was more highlighting the hypocrisy of the green agenda with High Park. I'll bite my tongue on my opinion about EVs in general.

I heard TTC has been using and will continue to use diesel buses. Which is funny, because the purpose of having no cars was for environmental reason going "green". It's only one bus , and lightly used at that. Your telling me TTC can't get one EV bus for High Park shuttle? A route that only runs...

I'll go further and recommend combining all transit in Peel to be Peel Regional Transit. Maybe use another name, but the purpose would be to have one transit system servicing Peel region. I think all transit systems in Ontario should be consolidated under the regional/county jurisdiction that...

I know your being sarcastic, but Im surprised he hasn't revisted uploading the subway. I doubt he would get any resistance, with the exception of the Union. But after seeing both LRT lines running, and how they own both lines, they could have a similar set up for subway. Plus all the...

He won't win, and he knows it. If anything, he might hurt the Ford brand. Especially when provincial elections come around. And he'll split the right vote. But with anything, if he says something extreme and outrageous, it can get a lot of people's attention. Getting rid of streetcars, more...

Rage bait The Trump administration is more pro transit than the Liberal Mark Carney? 😂

When I think of all the developers that will benefits with the current alignment, a further reason why I don't see diyg changing it. I think the alignment is safe. But yes, you have a valid point.

Any renderings of the planned intersection? All this construction along various parts of St.Clair yet no ROW for the streetcar extension. It's somewhat negligence to ignore it. At least have a plan down.

The good thing about this, the chance of the province changing alignments and design appears to be slim. I was under this assumption with the upload that Doug would resort back to his option of replacing the Gardiner as is. With the Logan off ramps, etc. it appears that Doug is going ahead with...

Hoping to see work on the 3rd garage. Any updates with that?
