    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Interesting how industries seem to limit people's choices of where to work. In many industries it seems most jobs are downtown, yet I've met many who live downtown who's dream it is to work downtown who apparently can only find work out in Scarborough or Markham and have long commutes out the...

    TTC: Waterfront Transit EA

    Glad to see they are expanding the beach downtown express route http://www.ttc.ca/Service_Advisories/Service_changes/feb143.jsp Of course, it doesn't help for people trying to get there to enjoy the beach.

    Transit City Plan

    Glad to see King transit corridor on 6 year map, but shouldn't they be able to do Crosstown east & west extensions as well within the 6 year timeframe considering EAs are mostly done and it's a surface extension?

    TTC: Waterfront Transit EA

    It would be so great to have better/faster transit to the Beach/Beaches. Great attraction in Toronto, tougher to get to by transit. When Beaches Jazz street fest happens the buses to Bloor are overloaded.

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

    I'm surprised that many people would wait 1-2 hours in line to ride this train without needing to catch a flight.. It's not like it's the most scenic route? I took it free when it opened but would not wait in line for that long.

    TTC: Waterfront Transit EA

    https://twitter.com/moore_oliver/status/699569076595613696 New transit plan shows Waterfront LRT east to Leslie. Has it ever been proposed this far east? (I thought Parliament was the previous eastern terminus) How would it get over the river to Leslie? The map also implies possibility of...

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

    I think my favourite thing about this train are the platform doors and the "Trains depart in X min" above the doors. Wish more of our transit had these.

    PATH Network Expansion (various, various, various)

    I've only recently explored PATH and was amazed how large it is and how much there is inside. Great place to take walks if it's this cold.

    HtO Park (Central Waterfront)

    I hope bridges across the quays happens, it would be a fantastic walk through all the parks, beaches & cultural centres.

    How long is your regular daily commute?

    I've met plenty of people who commute downtown to Scarborough or Markham or Mississauga.

    Didn't Keesmat say the recommended route/stations are coming out within weeks?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Interesting, maybe it was just the route/time that I took that was not as crowded.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Tried the 140-series downtown express bus. Very comfortable ride overall compared to the subway during rush hour, many seats available, sunlight, could use phone data. I find having data the whole way a big plus since you can do emails or read the news. Some sections had some traffic but the...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Would DRL really help things like this morning though? I'm all for relief line obviously, but I would've thought such massive delays would bring down the Yonge line whether relief line is there or not. I'd think things like, platform doors to prevent the original fire would help situations like...

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

    Besides lowering fares, do you think it's worth it to add one or possibly even two more stops West of Union downtown? There seem to be many hotels & areas tourists would go on the west end. Spadina? I'm suggesting this service for people visiting staying in downtown Toronto hotels, if they're...

    Is the younger generation in Toronto more likely to use transit and will this trend last?

    I'm pretty sure the part of the 'millennial' generation that have high salaries also have lower rates of car use & ownership in urban areas. Ex. many of those living in the new many condos downtown (or young people living in more expensive cities San Francisco or Manhattan). Just saying I...

    Is the younger generation in Toronto more likely to use transit and will this trend last?

    For perspective though, in the 905 area and huge parts of the suburban 416 it is much more convenient to do everything by car than transit. Those areas are a huge portion of the population of the GTA. These trends I'd assume are most pronounced downtown and the surrounding areas with transit.
