Personally, seeing the 501C get rerouted off the 407 and just follow the regular 501 routing is disappointing as it was probably the next best thing to get from Brampton to Toronto in a quick matter apart from the GO train. I understand why they're doing it, they have literally said the reasons...

Well I think the opening date will get "leaked" under a metrolinx email newsletter a month before its official announcement then they'll try to hide it until then to stir up even more good press.

If learning anything from new year’s day is that there will be a lot of people rushing to get out as soon as the eclipse is over except this time there will be no subways or GO trains nearby to at least help with the overload so the QEW will be massively jammed for hours (technically its on the...

Thank you I have just updated my post. Its weird with how they just randomly decided to do that as if they were hiding the article, but it is Metrolinx after all...

Well the fact that weekend service is still a recent implementation as it started just last year, and we finally now have official confirmation that 30 min all day service to Bramalea is happening on weekdays starting at the end of April, its safe to say that Metrolinx can start to do way more...

Clearly they wouldn't reduce service if there wasn't some kind of compromise, and if this is true and it happens then it seems like 30 min GO service to Bramalea is happening. The spur also isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Yes it sure is slow but the trains still get to the Pearson...

I think its somewhat confirmed that its going to reroute to Pioneer Village instead. Seen right out the station and also at Steeles/Founders on the north side.

Its more as a special service catered to post secondary students going home for the reading week. It just so happens to be family day weekend as well. Its not surprising that Guelph doesn’t really have that many people going back and forth compared to KW as they somewhat get the short end of...

That would ironically spark some major backlash on Brampton, especially as Zum runs better service on that piece of Highway 7 than Viva. If YR added more frequent service to accommodate for the missing frequency (which i doubt) and extend the Viva to Highway 50, then maybe it could work but then...

This fare integration is basically what it is currently with GO and all the other local 905 agencies, just now with TTC in the mix so it seems like the entire GTHA is connected now. If you go from local agency to local agency (Miway-Brampton or HSR-Burlington for example), then the transfer will...

They already somewhat did that, with the 104 Derry Express. Ever since the pandemic it has yet to make a comeback and it probably never will because of that decision with that Sheridan College-Westwood route which acts as another branch to the normal 42 Derry route (which kind of made service on...

There's a lot that needs to be done with the Kitchener line. Some suggestions could be first of all to introduce more trains per hour overall. 30 min to Bramalea seems likely in the current state while 2 12 car trains per hour along with bike coaches would help a lot. When Mount Dennis opens and...

The thing with this is that the damage was already done since the extension opening when YRT and GO got kicked out of serving the campus. Sure there might be some backlash for Brampton but with one fare there is a more fair compromise this time around. Also the benefits that the 501C serving...

This led to the buses that travel in between Square One and Bramalea GO to use the 410 and then Steeles instead of 407 to Dixie. This eventually became permanent and think its probably the only temporary “off the 407 whenever efficiency possible during covid” change to do so. Zum 501A/C should...

I went to the mall one day during the recent holiday season. It surprisingly was packed in the main areas (Food Court, Tim Hortons/Baskin Robbins, and especially Fantasy Fair), that was something I have never seen in years. Most of the chairs and tables were filled up throughout the mall but it...

I just don't get why cutting back Purple to just RHC was a thing. It should've gone to VMC and it still should as with the fare integration coming, this technically makes Viva Purple somewhat go to York U again efficiently and with one fare. Also this helps the problem of frequencies. It kind...

This is why Brampton is arguably the best local agency in the GTA that did it completely right. They pretty much integrated their local transit system with GO. Look at Mount Pleasant or Bramalea for example, they have pretty much made their schedules meet up with train arrivals, while at the...

Honestly with fare integration, YRT should work more with TTC to improve their headways with routes that cross north of Steeles. Imagine if the 102 no longer sucked being treated like a last resort and was actually useful for once. Or if the 129/160 can help boost ridership in well developed...

Brampton already has good transit connections at Bramalea including direct connections to Shoppers World, BCC, Meadowvale, Humber College, and Trinity Common which all takes about 15-25 mins on a good day to get to so it wouldn't be as bad. As for Unionville, GO pretty much does a better job...

For what it is, its not bad and I'm glad we're seeing 23 and 29 start their peak service earlier again as it is much needed especially with the residential ridership these corridors get. 50A going until midnight is nice and 81 being an all day thing now gives hope that there might be further...
