I agree with this reasoning, though I think it would be better to have smaller increments. With 12 .5 km, you're creating virtual zone boundaries, which would make it unpleasant for those people who end up travelling 13 km, and get charged $0.75 for the extra 500 m. I'd prefer steps maybe every...

FlyGTA runs out of their own hangar, not the main terminal, whish is probably why they don't show up on the arrivals/departures info.

True, I even brought my passport, wasn't sure if I needed it when crossing at Pioneer Village...

Random observations... These stations remind me a lot of the large Chinese and Korean-style subway stations (except no platform edge doors), with very similar designs, concourse passenger flow, and abundance of information displays. I guess most new subways in the world are being designed like...

I also prefer fare-by-distance. My ideal system would measure a straight-line distance from your start point to end point, and charge you accordingly per km, with a discount on each consecutive km, irregardless of which transportation system and mode you use (you could even apply it to bike...

08/26 is the main runway, which would stay. I'm thinking you meant 06/24 and/or 15/33. In my opinion they should shut down those two runways, they're rarely used. That would free up lots of space that could be given to the city as parkland on the island, maybe in exchange for small runway...

First time I've seen those types of short concrete barriers. Would be great to see those in many other spots where there isn't adjacent parking or significant numbers of mid-block crossing pedestrians. Bloor viaduct comes to mind.

BicycleDutch has a great video on residential bicycle parking in the Netherlands. Doesn't really help existing units, but it would be great if new condos had what's shown at 1:40. Essentially, apartment renters/condo owners would also have a small enclosed dedicated room with easy bike access...

Maybe Metrolinx can order some French food too, in case the lunch doesn't get there yet. Even though they may end up with too much in the end...

Does the 504 have a scheduled short-turn at Roncy and/or Queen/Broadview (or anywhere between Cherry and Broadview Station)? Some service in-between the full 504 and 514 could relieve crowding without affecting the terminals. Also, I feel like they could get streetcars through the terminals...

I would hope any new bike share system would just be Presto-compatible, which should cover most people if transit is involved. Ideally a per-ride fee, unless you add a bike share pass to your card beforehand (in the same way you would add a monthly transit pass online). Hamilton's system is...

I biked and took the streetcar across King today between 1 and 2 pm. I did notice many cars not following the rules, even on cross streets turning onto King. Seemed like all the signs didn't mean anything, and did not see a single cop out anywhere (though did see many police vehicles parked...

I could be wrong, but don't commercial private properties also need to be AODA accessible at some point?

Agreed, seems to make a lot of sense for a permanent diversion. Never really understood that stop at Richmond anyway. Anyone know if it really gets that busy compared to the other stops? Now if they would also get rid of Willcocks and Sussex, then the 510 would probably run much better.

I don't know if it makes the most sense versus connecting to Line 2 and using Greenwood Yard, but I sort of wish that they would plan and build the Relief Line from Don Mills Station to downtown in one shot, using modern standard-gauge driverless vehicles, with platform edge doors. If we're...

I use the app as well, but it still takes a moment to load, then find out where i am, then I have to get the ride code, and punch it in. It's handy when I dont have the key, but not as convenient otherwise. Now what would be the best is if I could use the NFC in the phone to tap out a bike, if...

So my Toronto bike share key fob stopped working, and they sent me a replacement, but it was a card. I talked to customer service, and they said they only use the card now (which I think I've heard before, but forgot until now). I gave them a suggestion to give the option of a card or fob, and...

I don't know if it was mandated, but when I was shopping for a bike in Amsterdam, they seemed to all come with integrated lights, bells, rear wheel lock, and even an attached hand pump. The only accessory I needed to buy was a bike lock. Was nice...

I think the centre is better, although boarding islands are more ideal. Especially for Toronto that has a streetcar network (versus a single line) 90 degree turns at intersections would be very difficult. As well there would be too many delays by stopping vehicles, and tracks would be...

That's definitely a strange marking. I'm guessing cars were blocking the right turn for streetcars, so they wanted to move them towards the curb, like they would've been when the island was there. It would also give exiting passengers some more leeway in case a car passes the open streetcar...
