I remember seeing insane lines for this place at Yorkdale for the longest time. People are always crazy hyped for anything that originated from Japan.

Yeah, I wonder why they didn't do it that way, it'd be a lot of work to make 2 pedestrian bridges, why not just have the platform over the road? It's an overpass so there would be no actual impediment.

So, 3 months of no afternoon, evening or weekend trains and they still can't finish that bridge? Really pathetic, but what else is new.

$, what else can it be?

Even if the province pays, you know there's still only one taxpayer.

Of course you take it given the pitiful transit construction here. There'll be real benefits once Sheppard is extended further.

Transit planning on the fly, woohoo!

I'm waiting for the news myself... would rather ride a late train than the bus. Is any work even being done at all? Hardly see much progress anywhere on the Stouffville line. It's going at a snail's pace. It would be great to at least have a night train to take after a downtown event like a...

Well, cash is "legal tender" which is meant to pay off debts. So you consumed some product that you owe, I think they're obligated to accept cash to settle debt even if they didn't want to. But I don't know the nuances of this too well. https://www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/about-legal-tender

Given how well the Eglinton LRT is going, would we be so confident about that? ;)

Yeah, it's brutal how bad YRT is now, of course it was never good, but the local service is pitiful. Once upon a time 15 mins was supposed to be the minimum service level for Viva, and now we have all these fancy lanes and bus stops built with mediocre service levels. GO sucks too but at least...

The 18 Bur Oak doesn't even run midday, it's some dial a ride thing. And not just Sunday, no Saturday service either.

I know, it's relatively recent, but I meant on the east side of Main St they seem to be doing some track work, possibly a passing track. If this station becomes double tracked I guess they'd have to dig out this platform they added not too long ago 😂

Yeah, 15 min service to Mount Joy would be amazing, but it's still single track. Actually, I've noticed recently around Markham station, they're doing some work there near the crossing, almost looks like they're building a passing track. I remember for the longest time Markham station used to...

Do you think Metrolinx, a government agency will figure out what not to do this time around after the disaster on Eglinton? How many years has Union station been under construction now? That said, these new lines were needed like 20 years ago, so at least something is happening.

Since 1967, the Leafs haven't won anything. But it's not mutually exclusive, transit priority is needed, we do need more subways and/or other transit being built...

This would make more sense, but it wouldn't politically fly, even though now we're having no RT and the subway taking god knows how long to complete. They have already lowered most GO fares within the 416, and with the coming fare integration, it wouldn't even have a penalty for transferring...

It sucks how this line was treated for people in Scarborough, but even then if it was converted to LRT there's still going to be many years of disruption given it was planned for the existing right of way (but maybe 2+ years isn't as bad as 7+). The sensible thing would've been to finish the...

Yeah, it will definitely be much more convenient, hourly train service off peak isn't exactly ideal but it's something. But if it actually becomes every 15 minutes they really need to start grade separating the tracks across road crossings in Markham. I live nearish to the tracks and even at all...

Thanks for the posts! I take the Stouffville line occasionally so it's nice to see these become actual train stations instead of just a piece asphalt with some bus platforms. Now if only the all the day service comes back soon... and the 2nd track is actually completed. I don't think people...
