Does this mean the signal upgrades are completed? All the way up to Allandale? TOS

Zurich wasn't on the list. Zurich beats Munich hands down. TOS

Hey there extreme, Putting up a piece of paper at every stop is not that expensive, and well worth the cost. It is also WAY cheaper than having 'next bus' displays at every stop. Not that I don't like 'next bus' displays. I do. I think may be an example of not being exposed to...

I understand what you're saying, but, having lived in a place where the buses had schedules and they actually sticked to them, I have to disagree. It's far more convenient to look at the schedule, show up at the stop one minute before the scheduled arrival time, and get picked up on time. This...

I'm curious, where did you find the numbers on this? TOS

Ok, this is weird: http://www.traingeek.ca/blog/2009/10/oddities-in-winnipeg.html What's a GO train doing in Winnipeg? Any ideas? TOS

For those that are interested, the EA for the Richmond Hill line expansion has been posted: http://www.gotransit.com/PUBLIC/en/news/ea/richmondhill/ea_richmondhill.htm TOS

From the summary: Why all the way to London? TOS

I was wondering the same thing. I also notice, on the third slide, a 'Brantford expansion.' That one is news to me as well. Is Hamilton, or Burlington, being set up as the next GO hub, after Union? TOS

Apparently the twinning of the Stouffville line is underway: http://www.georginaadvocate.com/News/Markham/article/93814 TOS

Your argument seems to be one based on misplaced causality. Though obviously the existence of infrastructure allows certain zoning choices to be viable and others not, infrastructure does not, itself, lead to sprawl. Suburban sprawl is generated by poor local zoning choices. To see that this...

GO transit's website finally has a 'Construction and EAs' webpage: http://gotransit.ca/PUBLIC/en/news/projectsandstudies.htm Notably absent are many of the EAs currently underway, such as the expansion to Waterloo and all day service to Milton, but at least it's a start. TOS

FWIW, there are two GO train stations as well, Maple and Richmond Hill. TOS

Yes, I saw the 1.4 billion, but I wasn't sure if that was just for Highway 7 or if that included the segment in Newmarket, on Yonge St. and Davis Dr. What does that 67 km include? TOS

Does anyone know the approximate cost per kilometre of Viva BRT dedicated lanes? Would it be possible for such a cost to be born by the region instead of the province? I recognize that this would require new taxes and as such is politically unlikely, but the ability to speed up the...
