https://www.inhalton.com/trip-from-milton-go-to-toronto-will-be-quicker-in-new-year/ So, the 10 min delay is not reflected in the PDF tables. The current PDF tables show the trip taking 64 minutes. But, the 74 minutes trip time is reflected in the timetable (non-pdf)...

Very exciting, the finish line is very close for Finch West LRT. Will there really be a paid duty officer at every intersection?

Let's talk fares. I don't think any changes can be made for 2024. But, looking at the future, continuing 3% fare increases while YRT has a $4 fare, one of the highest in the region. This seems problematic. On the other hand increased fare integration in 2024 will help riders pocketbooks. How...

There's going to be $3 Billion per year in permanent, predictable federal public transit funding beginning in 2026/27.

Well, there's 18 buses departing the Union Station Bus Terminal between 12:11am and 1:31am.

Yeah, it's interesting that the Viva Orange BRT is even mentioned in the 2021 press release for Clark Station.

From a 2015 document. @TJ O'Pootertoot mentioned the heritage districts and this highlights it clearly. Yeah, not much development/density benefit for having a subway stop right in the middle of a heritage district and ravine. Maybe you can do development but it'd be a pain in the ass...

Well, the YRT buses actually don't go to Yonge and John. There's some benefit to allow buses to through-run on Clark which would be difficult on Centre/John. So YRT integration could be better on Clark. And I think getting two stations in Thornhill is a big motivator.

Interesting, though Clark isn't going that much further East, it's not being extended. Where's the plan for Viva lanes on Clark? The reasoning that you get an extra stop by using Clark makes some sense. Not that it's happening anytime soon but it's penciled in for Centre and John Street to be...

I saw this tweet recently.

There's a nice dry spot here. :)

Interesting. So, Durham looks quite empty on the map currently but there is some employment land along Highway 7 in Seaton. https://www.infrastructureontario.ca/en/what-we-do/projectssearch/seaton-lands/#pProjectFeatures
