    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    You both are proving my point. Which is that busiest GO lines already have a frequency that is acceptable to most. Increasing frequency from here won't bring tons of new riders. Keyword being "tons of". People here are expecting multifold increase in ridership. Yes, the ridership can double in...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    We don't have a reason to believe that service will be even better than 15 min. We need tons of commuters in the first place to need that kind of frequencies. We are assuming that with better frequencies, there will be tons of latent demand that will magically appear. Lakeshore lines already run...

    Is there any information that DVP will become 404 or Gardiner will become QEW after the upload?

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    At night, every thing moves fast and it wouldn't make a difference. Here's the difference in time between two stretches of 401 with exact same length during afternoon peak. First between 427 and 409 with 10-12 lanes and the second through 427 interchange with 8 lanes. You can clearly see that...

    401 under 427 moves fine. Especially westbound. A lot of westbound 401 traffic gets on to the 427, leaving less traffic for the 8 lane section under 427. It's the 10-12 lane section from 427 to 409 that's the bottleneck. You have 401 and 427 bound traffic on just 10 lane cross section.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Many of those people come from countries with same amount of traffic on highways that are a lot narrower. They are used to worse.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Newcomers are far more embarrassed with the condition of TTC than 401. I am saying this as someone who was once a newcomer. You would be surprised to see the subway systems in the so called "third world" countries. TTC feels like seventh world after seeing them. I don't hear any newcomer or...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Yes, there are some things that are being done better in this project. But then we can have new problems that we didn't encounter before. If some of things are being taken care of pre-emptively, that does not mean that nothing else could go wrong. What we can say is that they planned it better...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    What makes you think there can't be major construction challenges with Ontario line too, for example, at the interchange stations? Is it guaranteed there won't be another pandemic till 2031? Are we 100% sure the economy won't tank until 2031? Are we sure that the shortage of construction workers...

    Difference in perception of safety could be because of difference in areas of commute. I never had a safety concern with TTC in suburbs - buses or subway. But in Downtown, it's totally different. You would often hear people screaming and yelling on streetcars and subway or streets in general...
