The extension to St. Laurent opened in 1987 as the new terminus alongside Train (present day Tremblay).

A major thing to note is also the fact that its a different project. The St. Laurent tunnel was built in the 80s as part of the Transitway East project, a tunnel that was in active use for decades with hundreds of busses and thousands of passengers making use of it every day. The O-train was...

Nobody is claiming you have power. You asserted that you would prefer that streetcars drive more slowly if it meant smaller chance of accidents, and I'm explaining why that mentality is a huge problem when it comes to attracting ridership. Unfortunately anecdotal examples don't supercede...

I'll take a practical solution to an aesthetic solution any day of the week. In fact Edmonton's push for "Signal-less intersections" as they're calling it frustrates me to no end. From most commuters' perspective, if the Streetcar/LRV isn't fast, then they'll take the car, especially if it...

The issue is the budget that YRT is provided in the first place. The problem isn't that YRT has to somehow serve anywhere, everywhere, all at once, but rather they're strapped for cash to run regular service on important routes, and politicians from the northern parts of the region are never...

Last I checked, Alghabra only promised hourly service, he never said anything about 15m service.

Did they revert that? I thought the plan was still to have a massive sharp turn after Oshawa and use the GM spur to reach the CP corridor.

A very simple solution could be an area equipped with a red lamp that can be used for a minor amount of heat. It wouldn't be perfect but it would be something decent to add if space constraints are a problem.

This image was being shared around in several places claiming this happened this morning. If its not recent then I apologize, I am currently living in Ottawa and I wouldn't know what the weather is like to confirm or deny anything.

A Crosstown LRV just derailed at Mt. Dennis Yard

I noticed they drew an interchange for Doane Road. Are they going to finally built it or what's going on? Its been graded since opening.

Philly very much treats the subway surface lines as a part of the trolley network, and not as part of the High Speed network alongside the BSL, MFL, and NHSL. MUNI Metro is entirely light rail, with BART being the metro service that is run by a separate agency, and very much considered its own...

The Finch West LRT has a single underground station, and beyond that is a simple tramway with frequent stops, which for all intents and purposes is nothing like the existing subway network, and is instead much closer to the existing streetcar network. Even for those not interested in transit...

You say it like it is, its an LRT. You don't get to build an LRT, and pretend that its a subway.

Perhaps. Its also worth noting that they do have a station in place for the future Bolton Line, so they are definitely taking into account GO connectivity:

Something very interesting I noticed, this ArcGIS map includes details about the proposed 413 Transitway, as well as confirmation that they're working on a transitway alongside the 427. The yellow line south of the highway is the transitway, and the yellow boxes are proposed stations.

Wait, is this news independent from what happened today? I assume this is implying 30m Kitchener/Richmond Hill Line service soon?

I am... absolutely speechless.

I'm aware of the Carling LRT plan, but we're talking about a BRT as a replacement to a Stage 3 Otrain Extension, thus implying a BRT between maybe Lincoln Fields and March (or something like that).

All of us including NL have been quite critical of Walter's conspiratorial dives, and have begun just ignoring him. The way you're behaving is pushing you to the same ending.
