The ultimate plan is to have the 505 go to the airport either via Airport Rd (which makes most sense) or via Bramalea rd/Steeles/ and Airport Rd (don't know how that will work). I agree, I would prefer it to go to the airport now but im guessing they don't have enough money -- look at zum...

Oh sorry, that was meant as a rhetorical question to JayBeeGooner to indicate exactly what you are saying.

I think having the zum (hopefully in the form of the 501 not as a separate route) go to Mount Pleasant GO is not to connect with the GO train but rather to connect the Zum to the various bus routes from Northwest Brampton that congregate there. This would give the people there a more a...

Isnt that exactly what LRT is? A streetcar in their own lanes?

Though LRT is very exciting to think about (the full option, not the split one), I think full BRT from Downtown to Spadina subway offers the most flexibility and is easiest to set up quickly. I doubt YRT would be very pleased with a zum branded LRT train going through York Region after they...

I would be ok with this fare hike if it was accompanied by general service improvements. I accepted Brampton's fare hike with open arms because I know they have been working hard to improve our transit system. YRT on the other hand has been just making transit get worse and worse. They need to...

ive complained and complained and complained and continue to complain about YRT Viva and its crappy service but damn is vivanext coming together BEAUTIFULLY! Even with their decision to keep three traffic lanes, the whole streetscaping and everything has made the road look soo much more...

brampton transit will stop selling paper passes in september. Paper passes and tickets will stop being accepted in january of 2014. they will probably implement the ability to buy and autorenew PRESTO period passes online soon (presto has enabled this but brampton hasn't opted in yet last time i...

Sorry, don't know if this has been suggested before, but if the biggest issue in this LRT/subway debate is an extra transfer for people travelling to the Yonge-University-Spadina Line, why not just connect the Scarborough LRT with the Eglinton LRT as was proposed by Rob Ford himself some time...

Does anyone know or want to hypothesize why VIVA purple doesnt turn south on Yonge so it can serve all of Centre St. If this was the alignment, it could also create an alternate branch route to replace VIVA orange which would go straight down Highway 7 to Martin Grove (and eventually Highway...

I like how Brampton is fast tracking its PRESTO implementation. When that auditor's general report came out about PRESTO, I remember seeing alot of people calling it a waste and how its full of problems, there no places to load PRESTO manually and how there is low uptake. Of course, being from...

Well thought out and incredibly detailed response. This is good argumentation at its best.

This would be a discontinuous mess. The point of the LRT is to have a continuous, attractive, and reliable service down the length of Hurontario from Brampton GO to the Lakeshore.

I disagree with TOareaFan too but I dont think your comment is fair. "Honestly these days I see your posts and just scroll past now." "you don't listen to anyone who disagrees with you" While failing to listen to his views (which you happen to disagree with), you argue that he doesnt...

Why on earth are they forcing a transfer when the point of the LRT was to have a continuous connection from Port Credit to Downtown Brampton?

According to a notice to employees at Wonderland, Route 20 is getting restructured on June 30th. They are getting rid of the Melville detour and ending service to the Canada's Wonderland employee parking lot. On weekends it will now fully be a gridlined route. I asked by email if they plan on...

TOareaFan, I live no where close to the LRT, and all day GO train service would be great for my commute to school, and Brampton should be making a fuss and trying to get that service, but if it decides to do that by getting difficult on the LRT it would only stall what can be a very good project...

WOW! I was pretty upset with the NDP for what they were doing but what you just said made me look at it in such a different way. It looks like the NDP is pandering to drivers because there are more of them in Ontario so they get more votes. The NDP should consider changing the message if this is...

Oh, Im sorry about that. I didn't actually see the original question. In that case, you're absolutely correct. LRT will attract some people in south Brampton near the LRT corridor to take it to Brampton GO but I doubt it would result in a surge in demand. Your second response is also pretty...
