Why does everyone believe all commuters want to only go downtown?

Looking a bit earlier in this thread, extending the Finch LRT toward the airport would be most ideal running down Hwy 27 and west on Dixon. I've been living in Malton for the past 20 years, and running an LRT down Derry/Airport would not benefit our neighborhood, not to mention municipal...

For those wondering how the LRT will connect to Finch West station, from this presentation: http://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2010/Jan_20_2010/Reports/TYSSE_Finch_West_Sta1.pdf The LRT box will be situated perpendicular to the subway box...

Is there any update on just when GO will start using the 407 station? Do they not want to stop running their buses through York U in fear they'd loose those passengers?

And that's how they get ridership on the subway! By forcing people to take it one stop.

Agreed on these accounts here. Those lights were quite blinding, there should have been a diffuser or it aimed away from the escalators. The worse part is the distance from the YRT terminal to the subway, let alone to the TTC buses! And its all outdoors in the cold! I opted to cross Steeles at...

Thinking aloud here: Would it have been better to run TYSSE north along Dufferin with a station at Finch, and then track west to Keele? Would that have served more people along Dufferin, compared to the overblown Downsview Park station? Haha that's not until the People of Ward 2 start fighting...

Is it from the same tunnel that leads to the KPMG building, etc? I saw that entrance at the mezzanine level. Thanks Seems like I drew the bus only road. The emergency exit is pretty close to the station box isn't it?

I had a chance to spend quite some time touring the six stations today. Here are my observations and questions: - Southbound trains are marked "FINCH". Its easy to confuse FINCH with FINCH WEST. I had to think twice if my southbound train from Pioneer Village was going to short turn at FINCH...

I went down to the Mississauga Hurontario LRT open house yesterday and have a few things to discuss from what I saw. The connections at Cooksville and Port Credit GO don't seem like "connections" at all. Reminds me of the Bloor GO Station connection with Dundas West subway station. For...

Westwood is still intact. The Zellers location is set to become the central square of the mall (as it will get redeveloped as "Westwood Square" over the next year). There will be retail/condo units, with a food court upstairs. The new Wal*mart is in a new stand-alone building in the north...

May 30. I can't wait.

The G-town line @ Dension was shifted east since the beginning of this week.

I ride my bike, rain, shine or snow 1.5 Km to Malton GO station (10 min); because I don't want to pay 65 cents and have to wait for Mississauga transit. Then I walk 2.1km from Union to Ryerson University @ Gerrard/Church (30 mins); because I don't want to pay a TTC fair on top of my already...

http://www.gotransit.com/gts/en/project/default.aspx It would just take a slab of asphalt, some shelters and a pair of stairs to make a stop at Eglinton, but I guess we'll see if the demand exists when the line opens. Thats just me... connecting the dots
