Hmmm... No mention of the LRT for Hurontario Main in Mississauga & Brampton....

Ok. I ask because to this day there are still locos, cars and cab cars on order to grow the current fleet. I'm sure those orders aren't going to turn on the dime. Also I wondered what kind of capacity we would be looking at in a new fleet.

Hmmm.... Ok. And what of the current fleet? Retirement? Or sell off?

What reasons do you consider "real"? I can agree on more service obviously being better than less. But here's the question then. Do we need 1600-2000 seats every 15 minutes during the day? Do we just run that kind of service anyways? Or do we go to smaller trains? What then happens during rush...

As a resident near the Kitchener Line, I would be ecstatic with hourly service in both directions. From Brampton to go into Toronto, no matter what the frequency of vehicles, be it trains or buses or swan boats, that trip has to be planned. If I have to be somewhere in TO at 7pm for example, the...

Hmmm... Besides, shouldn't both lines going to all day service not to mention the three others not named Lakeshore be of equal importance?

Whoever is responsible, the work along Steeles really needs to get cleaned up now. As either a driver or a transit rider, that stretch of Zum stops between Dixie and Torbram is atrocious.

Just spitballing here, but would the question of a lack of high speed rail, especially in the Windsor-Quebec corridor, be relevant to this discussion? Because, beginning with a Toronto-Montreal connection, and expanding to Windsor & Quebec City through various cities like London, Kitchener etc...

Even if Ford is re-elected as Mayor, I don't believe Council as a whole will change to suit him the way he wants. Hudak says he will build subways but with all the downsizing, privatizing and lack of any kind of financing plan besides pulling all the cushions out of the couch looking for spare...

I agree 100%. Serving those neighbourhoods with superior transit that didn't necessarily need subways as well as reaching far-flung areas of the city that would never see subways were the two main points of Transit City.

I agree that there were parts of Transit City I would have adjusted, but I think the idea & proposal as it stood was a very good starting point. Certain details could have been worked through. And though Transit City itself didn't necessarily include a Yonge relief line per se, I felt that...

What was so wrong with the Transit City plan? AFAIK, each line was researched by transit experts and backed by Miller. Even in the 2010-2012 debates, the experts were almost unanimously saying LRT was the way to go, reaching farther toward the remote edges of the city faster than subway ever...

Better idea: someone mentioned it before. One (or both) of King or Queen should close to cars between Bathurst & Jarvis. (Or maybe Parliament.) Then do enhanced bike lanes on King and Queen. Deliveries only at night between say 11pm and 6am. Or something like that. And then leave Adelaide &...

Well as to Leslie (Sheppard Line), with better service & fare integration and a slight shift to the north of Oriole Go station, that could become more useful as a station interchange. Dare I say, even a minor hub? Like Mount Dennis/Weston or Caledonia on the crosstown. I wonder if that was...

Maybe I misread. Apologies. As to entrances from new section to ACC, there's an entrance to Union from Maple Leaf Square that would seem to lead to the new area. Not sure if it opens on the concourse level or directly to the lower retail...

Once the new York concourse opens, the current concourse will be gutted and excavated from the stairs to the subway back to closer to the ACC entrance to accommodate 2 levels just like the new York concourse. 2 levels will consolidate to one (concourse level will stair down a bit 20%, retail...

For the Kitchener Line, there is a bottle neck through downtown Brampton & Brampton station where a third track needs to be installed. For those who know the area, between Centre Street in the east & Mill Street just west of Brampton Go & Via Station. It's going to require major work with...

According to the crosstown website, it seems the station headwalls at Caledonia aren't quite in place yet so it may be a while before those pins make a significant move eastward.

I believe with all the present connections and future potential connections to be made at places like Kipling, Mount Dennis, Dundas West, Caledonia, Downsview Park, Oriole (which is like 200m from Leslie Subway station on the Sheppard line), Agincourt & Danforth-Main, and even Long Branch &...

The stop spacing indicated in Transit City called for stops around 500 metres apart. If you look at Spadina or St. Clair, the stops are 100-200 metres apart. Modern subway stations are more like 1000-1200m apart. Given the existing built form around some of those suburban streets, 500m seems...
