End of March opening?

They also introduced single-use fares available at vending machines that are based on Gatineau's Multi pass technology.

A handful of videos of full length consist tests have been posted on Twitter:

IIRC all 34 vehicles have been assembled except the last 2 are still missing some computer modules that were lost.

Again, I was only talking about transit impacts. Of course I'd be unhappy about 20 minute frequencies which is why I asked Mr. Potvin about that several months ago. He said MOOSE would provide 5 minute frequencies along the line (assuming they replaced the Trillium Line on the corridor). Of...

So then the notion that an implementation of MOOSE's would be harmful to the city's transit is ridiculous because the city is capable of defending its interests, right? (Barring construction of course) I thought you had suggested that Stage 2 be constructed and then several years later than...

So then we agree, the city has every capability of defending itself and its interests. MOOSE has said that there would be transfer points to OC Transpo and Mooney's Bay (what they meant by Greenboro, apparently) and Bayview. They don't seem interested in any other stations along the Trillium...

Fair points. 1. So then the city says "too bad so sad" and the deal's off. Done. The city obviously doesn't have a need to rely on MOOSE's capital investments. 2. Then the city can force MOOSE to use trains that don't require temporal separation on the corridor. (Personally I've never agreed...

Access from which the city can charge usage fees, among other things. There are definitely going to be other things the city will need to deal with, but outside of anything near the Trillium Line corridor, it's a pretty Ottawa-centric view to be only looking at how this will impact the City of...

Sooner or later the Trillium Line will need to be double tracked, that's a given. While we're at it why not get the private sector to pay for those infrastructure upgrades? In any case, I can't really say that they would benefit all that much, but they wouldn't exactly suffer either, at least...

Well actually, they are on the registry (once). Either Mr. Potvin was greatly exaggerating about how much support he has, or other instances of lobbying weren't recorded, but that's what's on record^ ...demolition for the purpose of replacing it with a better bridge. I fail to see how them...

Yes, it should, but that goes further into the realm of being unrealistic than even MOOSE's proposals. It's the best we've got left and still relatively cheap.

They were previously quite insistent on using only bi-levels but they've recently signedso their stance on that and have included LRT vehicles (i.e. DMUs) in their more recent publications.

I think you're mixing up a lot of ideas. I don't think Potvin was referring to what they're doing at Bayview but rather MOOSE transportation proposals. I highly doubt that MOOSE has had meetings with city officials in which those officials didn't side with the city on the case (if meetings on...

Potvin has long posted that he's had meetings with City transit officials before. Meeting with someone is quite different from, say, trying to sabotage Stage 2 in favour of MOOSE from the inside. IIRC it was established that what MOOSE means as "Greenboro" is actually closer to where Mooney's...

No one said that they're doing "behind the scenes work" for MOOSE, just that they have opinions about MOOSE. I'm not sure what you mean by "against the will of Council for the Phase 2 plan". Nothing that MOOSE has proposed has any significant implications for Stage 2 other than to possibly...

Jim Watson has said that he'd consider an extension of the Trillium Line into Gatineau as Stage "3B" with Kanata and Barrhaven being Stage "3A". Barrhaven is currently being studied, so I think it can be assumed Gatineau is next in the plans. And then eventually Carling, I guess (for LRT at least).

South extension in 2021 East in 2022 and West in 2023

The preliminary study for the Gatineau LRT won't be completed until 2020. What Gatineau is doing is (currently) completely separate from what Ottawa is doing and as of right now they hope to have something in operation by 2028.

The Trillium Line already exists, what is the Riverside South extension going to change? And as I've already mentioned, it's never formally been shown that the Trillium Line corridor can't be shared (with track upgrades, of course). The Gatineau LRT is still years off and would only make use of...
