Endorsing the devil was always going to bite them in the ass.

Canada line debacle allllll over again.

Nuances yes, and TransLink chose to keep buses single fare which I think is smart.

Although the tweet acts like TransLink hasn't had integrated fares for several years.

It will take a long time to rebuild trust in the reliability of taking transit, soo many problems that could've been avoided. Perhaps Metrolinx should take over management 😂

There's many mechanisms that have been discussed ad nauseam on here. Signal priority is merely a tool the traffic department refuses to use.

I think signal priority is far more integral to speed than stop spacing. Think of how amazing Spadina would be if CARS were the second class citizens and not streetcars.

Would've been preferable if they had repeated the Yonge-Bloor and Bloor-Yonge pattern with intersecting lines.

I'm referring to Milton, which is definitely CP

The horror if those are actually the names

They can afford to build hwy 413? 😂

It definitely will, CP will drag their heels of course. There is very strong political consensus on multiple levels of government to improve service on a line that functions as close as Mississauga will ever get to a Metro/subway line.

Anything involving rail land always seems to prove contentious for them. Even something as simple as electrifying the Kitchener line past Brampton, (which in the long-term) freight will likely be electrified in urban areas.

I'd argue the cost-benefit ratio to make line 4 essentially part of line 2 is probably not worth the cost when a small transfer is available. That, and the fact line 4 and line 2 serve different functions (Sheppard has fewer stations but with more density, while Bloor is lower density more...

Scarborough can and should accommodate two hubs, not having one with huge amounts of density at STC would be silly. And one is needed because 2 subway lines will be dumping and collecting riders are McCowan.

The hating for on-street LRT is exhausting. I think in many ways it's the superior for of higher capacity transit with it's ability to blend relatively seamlessly with the urban fabric. The main reasons this form of LRT on Finch and Eglinton has caveats has more to do with the Toronto...

Exactly. And Toronto has clearly influenced planning of the Ontario line, it's really a refinement rather than a complete scrapping of the RL.

I don't think you'll see the downtown portion happen.

I wouldn't say that is unusually full, I rarely find much room riding the Canada line after Broadway-City Hall when I went to Langara.

Of course, however it's good to see a mayor able to counter the Premiers autocratic tendencies (Unlike Tory against Ford). I think we'll end up with a much more compelling transit project even if there is moderate cost increases.
