It said in the news article that the car was driving southbound, so no confusion there. But I disagree with you that the the is heading north west. If you look at the satellite image below, you would see that the clump of trees is directly east of the intersection, which means that the train is...

Just saying, under the HFR plan you will get to Montreal faster with the higher speed trains via Ottawa than the lower speed trains via Kingston and Cornwell. The journey on dedicated VIA tracks would also be more reliable and less prone to delays. Here is some information for comparison:

Hmm, that's interesting. Where did you hear that?

OK, fair enough. Let's assume that you're right. But there is still the problem that 109 is an express route going from Meadowvale to Islington via Square One, so Miway ill either have to transfer the whole route to TTC(impossible) or keep operating it at the whole length, or else there would be...

Well, it's supposedly the quickest way for buses to go from Square One to Islington.

Are you sure? I'd think that there would be more people going via train as most people can't afford the thousand dollar air fare to Churchill. I also heard that some businesses there are laying off most of their staff due to the suspension of VIA service.

Most people on route 109(between Islington and Renforth) are either going to the subway or have just gone off of it, so they have already/will pay a TTC fare. It would also force those on route 109 to transfer to another TTC bus or vice versa.

Construction wise, the Missing Link(with 2 tracks) would be a lot faster and cheaper as it will be built on the 407 greenbelt. But CN and CP are going to cash grab if you want to move them to the Missing Link. Also, theoretically 2 tracks would be enough for the Missing Link as freight trains...

You can't be serious, it doesn't take 10 minutes to walk less than 500 meters with no signal delay.

I am assuming that new condo developments around VMC will help with ridership on the Vaughan side.

Quick question, is the Richmond Hill Line being used for freight traffic?

Just TTC.

How come most cities(with excellent transit) around the world use fare by distance or a hybrid model with fare by distance for rapid transit and flat fare for local transit then? I am not sure if implementing and enforcing fare for distance for everything will be possible, but the hybrid model...

I don't know exactly how it works, but TTC says "this service is operated for residents of the City of Mississauga". And as for the specific case of #52, if I live in Malton then I would not like to have to take 7(infrequent) to the airport and transfer to 52 there and vice-versa. Also, as...

Totally agree. It might be easier to just build a people mover system from the terminal to the train station though. The can even route close it to the hotels and put a station there.

Good idea, let's save some trees.

It would serve both Square one(lots of people live there) and Sherway, instead of either. However, lots of other projects should get higher priority than this one.

Good question, I don't know. You might find more help in the UPX thread.

They could always just branch the line at Kipling with one branch going to Square one and the other going to Sherway, but unfortunately, neither of these are going to happen anytime soon.

TTC operates some bus routes for other agencies(you probably know a few already), but the other agencies don't operate buses for TTC. For example, once a TTC bus goes into Mississauga, it is now a Miway bus. On the other hand, Miway buses go into Toronto because not because they want to serve...
