LOL. Seriously dude, stop digging the hole deeper. I agree, it's insane and leaves the inner-west neighbourhoods without rapid transit. With the transfer of the project to the CAQ, I am not surprised about this at all though.

I have to agree with the other posters here in that Toronto needs more pedestrianized streets with limited access for delivery vehicles. It works in other cities to the benefit of those residents, and it can work here too. This was also discussed here recently - property owners do not own the...

https://www.youtube.com/live/DXgvK49CBt4?feature=share Livestream of the REM inauguration today, by Rail Fans Canada. They noted it's fast when accelerating and cruising, smooth compared to the Ottawa Confederation line, very quiet (at least on the inside, there have already been complaints...

It's mid-2023 now. Does anyone know if construction has started?

Ok, Doug Ford. https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/2023/06/21/doug-ford-says-olivia-chow-would-be-an-unmitigated-disaster-as-torontos-mayor.html

Perhaps if the TTC isn't already doing so, they too could employ these devices to lessen track vibration, particularly on line 2. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/skytrain-noise-top-of-rail-friction-modifier-tread-stick

You're right. I still think it's nuts that Pape's Lipton Ave exit is all staircase all the time. Could've used some escalators.

Your example comparing Otemachi station to College is valid. Even the TTC's transfer stations like St. George look like dog$#!% by comparison, and there are no PSDs, which was one of your main points. I don't know why anyone would defend them. They need to be improved, not least for safety. A...

Okay, but no one needs your B-roll photos of nonconsenting people to show that other transit systems are dealing with homelessness. We know.

What does this even mean?

From Freakie07 on agoramtl: The REM won't have the métro's classic sounds. Instead it will have these three:

The Ontario line also has two interchanges underneath line 1, one of them under a station as old as Eglinton. The Ford government needs to be put in its place and to stop muzzling communication from a public entity, or else we may very well end up having déjà vu in 2030, 2031, 2032... 2036, and...

One solution is to use an original indigenous place name, or a significant indigenous word that has a relationship with to the area, if the place isn't easily defined. Vancouver did this with Musqueamview, and Montréal as well when they changed Amherst to Atateken. This was tough to read...

I bet you're right. There will probably be an opening weekend of festivities. Until then, here's a recent test video, running across the Champlain bridge:

Isn't a ribbon-cutting usually held on the same day that a new metro line goes into service? Here is one of Canada's more recent openings, the Evergreen extension on the Vancouver Millennium line: https://buzzer.translink.ca/2016/12/the-evergreen-extension-is-now-open/ (Ribbon-cutting and start...

Thank you for this irrelevant fact 😄

A couple days ago on Radio-Canada's Tout le monde en parle, an interviewed official stated that there is no foreseen reason why the REM wouldn't launch this Spring, and that it would open on a Friday. I guess there could still be unforeseen issues! Anyway, the last Friday of Spring, 2023 is...

That is fun!
