    Toronto Bike Share

    I agree, if they were to expand north of St Clair they'd have to do it with many stations at once in the area so that it's viable to bike from & to the subway stations. But there are higher priorities

    Toronto Bike Share

    More stations near Spadina King-Queen is great. There are often no docks in the morning as this is a huge employment area for tech companies with the Richmond/Adelaide bike lanes running through. I especially like seeing new ones right on Adelaide/Spadina and Richmond since they are right on the...

    Crosstown LRT - Wynford Stop (Metrolinx, ?s, IBI Group)

    In my opinion they should add heating at not only LRT surface stops, but also the outdoor subway stations that don't have warm waiting areas and bus & streetcar stops that are well used. Just like the LED next bus signs they've installed at stops, they're an enhancement that make transit more...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    What are your thoughts on the Spadina line now that it's all new streetcars? Overall I find it's a huge improvement with double the train size, all door boarding, low floors, and very frequent service. However, it still seems like not enough capacity with the trains being extremely crowded...

    TTC: Transit City Bus Plan

    Makes me wish for more bus priority in Toronto: - bus lanes - bus queue jump - all door boarding - more articulated buses (the current TTC ones look great) There are now presto readers at the back door, but I don't think I've seen all door boarding on buses yet, has anyone else? I'd assume...

    Toronto Centennial College: Downsview Park Aerospace Campus | ?m | ?s | Centennial College | MJMA

    Really interesting area I think with all the sports facilities & new buildings created and the subway opening. Saw that this building is under construction, this seems like a good use. I've been going here for years and recently saw more of the facilities inside the buildings here which are...

    High Speed Rail: London - Kitchener-Waterloo - Pearson Airport - Toronto

    University of Waterloo attracts a huge amount of talent from GTA area, Ontario, Canada and the world. Canadians are making a huge contribution to Silicon Valley (ex. many BlackBerry people are now at Apple). UW was the main reason Waterloo became a strong tech area and still is despite...

    If they added stations to neighbourhoods around the subway as well then people could bike to the subway.

    SmartTrack (Proposed)

    Spadina & LV stations great! The whole area west of Spadina south of Queen is rich with jobs & condos.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Exactly, DRL will take so long that this seems like the only hope of transit improving east/west downtown anytime soon

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    If a bus line ran on Yonge all the way downtown frequently like on Market St in SF (which has streetcars, buses, bike lanes, underground streetcar and subways), it would be well used. Especially this month where "reduced speed zone" and frequent emergency alarms are slowing the subway to a crawl...

    SmartTrack (Proposed)

    I was a bit disappointed to hear that there will be no Spadina station on SmartTrack/RER, but glad there is a Liberty Village one. Looking forward to hopefully the King St transit priority resulting in short term improvements moving east-west downtown.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    It seems like very often (all the time) Line 1 there are passenger alarms activated during the morning rush, causing back up of trains, slowing them to a crawl causing very crowded trains, resulting in more alarms. This makes using the Yonge subway to commute a horrible experience before 9:30...

    Waterloo Region Transit Developments (ION LRT, new terminal, GRT buses)

    Also the Universities have a huge impact on Waterloo, I see many large apartment towers sprouting up near by now for students. I'd assume they will have big impact on transit ridership as well given they have free transit passes.

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    This is now essentially the first go rer line no?

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Eglinton has many of the busiest bus routes in the city that overlap on the same road, both east and west, so clearly many are inclined to take transit. Some areas along the route are higher some lower income. People who live midtown with cars often take transit for work downtown and cars for...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    My main concern with using a phone as a transit pass is being worried about being stranded if the battery runs out.

    Don Valley Gondola (Broadview Stn to Evergreen Brick Works)

    Gondola to islands would be a huge attraction
