A lot of people do that, including myself. There are multiple express bus routes from Markham to Finch subway station currently(pre-COVID) via hwy 407. Not everyone works near Union station, but Dundas, College, Bloor, and more to the north. For people who live closer to an express route than a...

The stations are longer, not necessarily larger in width. There are many elevated stations in the world > 120 m. Of course, the bus terminal will be off Yonge St, not in the middle of Yonge.

Yonge St between Finch and Clark is actually quite wide, wider than Overlea Blvd where the Ontario Line will run above ground. Maybe we also make Finch to Clark aboveground? That will reduce the tunnel section to just 4 km.

Actually, why was the yard underground in the first place, just to put staff parking on top?

Going all the way to Bayview may be overkill. I think it will look more like this.

Metrolinx is planning to double track and grade separate between Kennedy and Scarborough GO. See link.

In Metrolinx GO Expansion Full Business Case, it's way more than 7 trains per hour. There will only 8 local trains per hour all-day, plus 3 trains per hour peak-period peak-direction express train express between Union and Union, stopping only at Kennedy. I would prefer all 8 local trains to...

I think they finished stage 1. See link

Does this mean the GO station part of Kennedy station will finish first before crosstown?

Construction: Updates (Richmond Hill) Oriole Station Relocation Project: The borehole geo-technical work that has been underway this week will extend for two more days. The work crew encountered challenges with conditions on site and are estimating that two additional days are...

I assume riders will just wait for the driver to walk to the other end of the train and continue the trip.

Port Credit to Brampton Gateway in 40 mins = 27km/h. That's similar to TTC Line 2, so the signal priority must be very aggressive.?

The problem is the Finch Express Bus isn't much faster than the local bus. The hydro corridor provides dedicated right-of-way, a simple two-phase signal at intersections, more transit signal priority, a faster trip for people transfer to north-south routes, and people who live slightly north of...

Yes, all the whistling is gone in Markham, except for irregular freight trains.

Sources?

In exchange, the developer gets air rights above the rail corridor, so it is not technically free.

They want to save costs. Plus the future electric-multiple-unit trains may as well be 8 cars only, if they are frequent enough.

Since the Ontario line will need new tunnels, the tunnels will definitely match the size of the trains, regardless of technology.

YRT doesn't even have bike racks at rapidway stations.

The only problem is how to connect them to Hwy 401. Ideally Hwy 401 should also have HOV/bus lanes.
