Thanks for that information. It's reassuring to know I'm not mis-remembering parallel approaches in good weather.

Do you have a source for this? I understand why it's undesirable from an operational perspective, and why it's unavailable for simultaneous instrument approaches (per ICAO rules). However, considering that the centrelines are 1000ft apart (exactly), I can't see why simultaneous approaches in VMC...

It's pretty normal operation in my experience on trains 47/48 at Gananoque. 47 normally travels on the north track, and 48 is often switched to the north track at Queens/Kings to avoid blocking both lines at Lyn (Brockville). Every time except one that I've taken those trains, RTC has...

No need to lament over having to install more apps: Transit has supported real-time arrival/location information for MiWay since late 2016. In fact, when you look at the agency list on Transit's website, you can see that MiWay is listed as having real-time data available: I don't intend...

This is the last post I'll make on this subject. In hindsight, I shouldn't have brought it up again at all. Mea culpa. I never asserted that the Presto infrastructure used IP. It makes intuitive sense that it would, but that's really irrelevant. While 802.11 defines frequencies (layer 1), it...

I don't want to extend this line of discussion any longer than it has to be, but I think laying everything out in one post might be beneficial. This all comes from the TTC network design document, and the TTC-Presto Master Agreement. Maybe I'm too new here to know your history, steveintoronto...

Sorry, but this just isn't true. The uOttawa U-Pass has been Presto- and Multi-enabled since May 2016; Carleton's should follow in September. Barcodes have nothing to do with the U-Pass.

You are correct, tapping at a subway station/on a streetcar will not automatically close your GO trip. However, it is pretty strong evidence if you call in to have the overpayment refunded.

There are two different tones, a low tone for regular cards and a high tone for concession cards.

You can already use Presto cards on both systems, so I don't know how else you expect them to integrate. It'd be a challenge to tap on a bus in Mississauga and get to Ottawa before the transfer expires (so transferring between OC Transpo and GTHA systems isn't an issue).
