Barrie weekend hourly trains and Kitchener line evenings & weekend hourly trains. At first I thought those services would come online as of next week but the rumour around UT is saying early next year. I also always felt that while welcome as a start, 24 or 28 trains on the weekends was a little...

Not that I would or wouldn't but my comment was based on the fact that the current midday hourly service was implemented at the cost of the half hourly bus services in place previously. For the record, I would skip the buses and stick to the trains in the case of both being offered, but that's...

I believe that the simple 1st hurdle of getting hourly service all day seven day from Mount Pleasant (or Bramalea) to Union is quite enough of a challenge for now without having the added logistics of a Weston -Bramalea shuttle. Besides, some are calling the midday ridership woeful but to my...

So, on a related subject and just to be clear. No new evening and weekend trains to/from Mount Pleasant (or even Bramalea) - Union coming next month? Just the two current trains extending to Kitchener?

This annoys me as well. Still waiting with growing impatience for evening and weekend service to be added to the Kitchener line, hopefully in September. Although I see and hear rumours that this may not happen at that time. Yet announcements are being made about service improvements and...

Of course, we should have had an LRT finished and up and running for about 2 years now which we could have been observing and learning from (Sheppard East), but that discussion is in another thread.

Quite frankly, moving the LRT onto Steeles in either direction would require widening the road itself to maintain a 3 lane right-of-way for traffic/trucks. The Region of Peel has already designated Steeles a transport corridor I.e. Lots of industrial/truck traffic. There's a lot of residential...

I use the midday service regularly, mostly from Bramalea, occasionally from downtown Brampton. Maybe twice from Mount Pleasant. My schedule varies so I'm on at various times throughout the day. Generally I've seen a steady upward trend in ridership whenever I ride, which is positive. Each week...

Have you seen those stations/shelters?? Especially in any kind of inclement weather, the trains themselves are much more comfortable, imho! :)

Extra buses are routinely called in to run to Bramalea and Georgetown after events, especially sports. Sometimes 2 or even 3 extra vehicles have to be called in if more than one game is taking place simultaneously. Watch out for Tuesday April 26. Blue Jays and Raptors are both home that evening...

I'm wondering if they can take that wall out totally and do glass. Inside that wall is another wall made of brick. You'd never know that there's a view to be had from the platform itself. Or maybe if they can't remove the wall totally, (for heritage reasons or what not), at least punch some...

Aren't there already credible reports that say these alignments council want to study have already been dismissed as unfeasible? It's not running up the river valley. Period. And Steeles needed to maintain a three lane per direction right of way thereby needing to be widened. And with backyards...

Are they content? Or is it because they don't have/can't get the rights from CN at this time to electrify to Mount Pleasant as was the original endpoint of the RER?

Which is my point exactly.

I mean, are you kidding me?? A 5 km subway tunnel with NO stops??!!

I keep saying this but I'll say it again. Transit in Toronto isn't supposed to be a this or that scenario. Transit City was a bold vision to include many of the most transit-starved areas of the city and tie this fragmented, segmented metropolitan area together, at least in terms of transit. The...

At first , that was the plan. But the plan has since been amended to keep 3 lanes of traffic along the Golden Mile intact. So no, traffic lanes will not be reduced.

I'll be ok. Really. Just disappointed in this result and the faulty reasoning behind the negative vote is all.

I realize the true history of the subway and it's evolution. I'm just talking in terms of the potential connectivity that is lost to Brampton transit users in not connecting to Brampton Go and potentially whatever is put on Queen St. Ok think about it like stopping the Yonge line at York Mills...

Brampton is a little different than Mississauga. We built a new City Hall, are still finishing off a major expansion of said city hall, built a new theatre and square to go along with that, and are planning a new library & condos etc. all in what is now considered downtown Brampton. For better...
