Wait, its still considered a placeholder? Its plastered on every crosstown station, its found on so many new bus stop poles as well as GO Station signage, I feel like we've moved beyond it being considered a "placeholder". The only thing that makes sense to me is the Moderator is referring to...

While the requirement for a transfer isn't great, the transfer itself isn't that bad - certainly not bad enough to warrant cutting the headways to Riverside South to every 24m. Its a timed transfer, when the Line 4 train arrives at South Keys it then heads into the pocket track north of the...

And to add on, the Limebank is expected to have a larger ridership and is arguably the more important branch of the 2.

Your choice of comparison for TFL is completely Apples to Oranges, ThamesLink and National Rail aren't part of TFL at all. This would be like complaining that the MTA doesn't get along well with NJT or Amtrak. The point that was made was that everything under the TFL umbrella is fully...

I forsee 2 issues with the York Sub. 1) It doesn't really go where stuff is being built. The goal is to serve areas like RHC and VMC, and whilst it could serve VMC, it can't serve RHC or areas like Commerce Valley. I imagine the York Sub should be better looked at as an alternative for Steeles...

I imagine its a worst case scenerio precaution. By definition, in testing means that they haven't proven that the system can run without a hitch, so worst case scenerio there is a risk that it can derail and hit some random person on the sidelines. That being said, the system once implemented...

The Skytrain isn't a local service, it is essentially a Regional Metro akin to a system like BART or WMATA (ie, its both a Metro and a Regional Rail Route). Something similar could be said about the Valley Line as well as all the other Albertan LRT lines (as well as many LRT lines in the US)...

I find it interesting how all of our reasoning for the line talk about benefits in terms of regional connectivity and specifically how its not meant to be a local service, yet your thought goes immediately towards "being an integral part of the community". Like no, our point is that it isn't...

You're not wrong... however what I would ask is how necessary this really is. I'm a very vocal on the idea that things like TOD, Urban Fabric, and walkability are extremely overrated when it comes to Transit discussions. While they are very important aspects, especially if we want more...

First, even if we assume they have similar stop spacings, Viva even as an LRT would be a median tramway, where even with the strongest TSP would be subject to speed restrictions due to the on street format. Second, Viva Orange isn't exactly an alignment built for speed. Instead of Following...

It will be discussed and designed by the end of the year, then it will be implemented right before the next election.

It won't be electrified, the stations should be included in this.

Viva isn't a particularly fast service, and moreso exists as a local service to serve developments and more specific areas. To make an analogy, its like how the Ontario Line isn't replacing or being redundant with the service offered by the Queen Streetcar, they exist to serve different needs...

Maybe I'm just misinterpreting this, but it does seem like at all platforms it shows the stairs as a set of escalators behind another set of stairs. I presume this a way to future proof for future platform raising, when we need to do so, we just raise the platform to the top of those stairs...

Didn't they introduce the Weekend 20E that runs every 15m?

Major Mack to VMC definitely has enough things going on to potentially support a subway level service (although hopefully not deep bored), and especially more in terms of urban growth, there's Wonderland, Vaughan Mills, VMC, Mackenzie West Hospital, etc. Of course its a matter of when (hopefully...

Are you saying Gondolas are bad because a maniac wearing a goblin suit on a hovercraft can use it to grab hostages at any time?

Here is the website with all of the information including EAs (which have design plates if you're interested in rough alignments and station designs): https://407transitway.com/ As for what's happening with the project, allegedly Metrolinx is working on it in the background, and whilst the...

At this point we're basically asking for a 2nd east-west LRT line on Burnhamthorpe/Rathburn...
