You'd be surprised what some people say. Like you've just come in from single digit weather and expect to have a stadium that's a balmy 22 degrees? You've clearly worn clothing appropriate for the weather outside so suck it up. In contrast TFC fans almost revel in it anytime there's inclement...

Exactly, well at least in the sense that roads and public transit should be viewed as a single solution rather than antagonists in some sort of 'war on cars' culture war. So if your complaint about some temporary lane closures for maintenance makes things untenable for drivers, because the...

When roads reach capacity (traffic) we expand the roads and add more capacity. So what should we do when public transit reaches capacity? I'll wait

Except that induced demand doesn't say that removing a lane reduces demand in the way that adding lanes 'creates' demand (quotations are intentional) the phenomenon is not reflective in that way. Induced demand says that changing the capacity of transport options changes the cost (in time and...

This is Toronto we DON'T DO mixed express/local service! LOL Great thing to see. Maybe add back the Bloor station since it connects with Line 2, but honestly it's not a huge inconvenience. I've seen lots of airline employees (flight attendants, etc) using the Bloor stop, however I guess UPX...

You know. Rogers Centre as the first (or one of the first) fully enclosed retractable roof stadiums didn't really have a predecessor to learn from in the way that the retractable roof stadiums that have come after Rogers Centre did. I remind people that the Rogers Centre was designed as a...

I think a lot of people need to adjust the contrast/brightness on their TV's and/or not use vivid mode on their smartphone cameras. I don't see the amount of garishness (?) on my tv compared to some of the photo's I've seen online.

Emilia-Romagna does receive some snow. Particularly in the mountain areas. Bologna for example receives snow about 5 days in every month during the winter season and an annual total of about 22 inches per year (mostly during Feb). So I imagine they'd have thought about snow cover. Then...

Preach my comrade! I think even Hamilton would be a candidate for a regional network. Having routes from the surrounding municipalities to central Hamilton. I believe there is a ton of missed opportunity either due lack of vision at MX, VIA, and various levels of government and,or general...

I'm not familiar with Markham GO. Though taking a look on google maps I see that Main st is 5 lanes through the station area. That would require a significant rebuild of Kipling Ave.

Lived in the area for nearly 30 years, a stones throw from the proposed station location. Option 4 is about 6,500 square M and includes a residential home (occupied) that would have to be expropriated I guess. Option 2 is about 21,000 square M, also includes a home but I believe it is...

4 and 2 are equally small though. 4 is smaller than 2 IIRC

Well to bring it back around the the thread's topic. Inadequate intercity transit options are part of (maybe a small part) the problem we have where the GTAH conglomeration simply towers over the remaining urban municipalities in the province. Everything in this province is some massive thing...

Bah, he's not getting credit from me. He, and his brother were on the city council that mis-handled the DRL line and were on the "no subways for the downtown elites" side. So he deserves criticism for slowing the DRL construction just as much as he does for the success of the Ontario line...

This. The Ontario Line wasn't proposed/built because it was needed it was proposed as a way to spit in the eyes of the transit planners and city councilors who he fought his subways, subways, subways for the suburbs culture war. And for him to stand up and say "look at how I get things done"...
