30 min service on both Kitchener and Stouffville lines was something to dream about happening in September, both can more than handle it. Considering that I was basically 90% right for the return of Barrie and Stouffville off peak and weekend coming back this same year, hopefully the same is...

This is probably just to handle CNE traffic. The September changes will probably build further upon this but still great to see more Barrie/Stouffville line service more sooner.

Buses already come every 10-12 mins according the schedule so i don’t think that’s the problem as it is with just including as many shuttles as possible when the train comes in. They have their own local bus that goes from the station and travels on Victoria Ave, going to the tip of Clifton...

How much do you wanna bet 80% of this "customer volume" are really just bikes stacked one against another in the way of each car door. This is getting ridiculous and there's an obvious fix but they don't want to engage in improving the service.

They really love avoiding stopping anywhere else in Toronto besides Union when it comes to their bus replacement service for the train lines. Imagine if we got stops at Downsview Park, Etobicoke North, Kipling, Oriole to name a few, this would help significantly for the network. Just wish they...

The Kitchener weekend trains are getting ridiculous now. They’re advising passengers with bikes to “wait for another train” if the coaches are full with bikes, which they usually are with still running only 6 cars. In fact, that’s the main problem and its frustrating. Why are they still...

This specific issue is towards the province in general and more Brampton as well.

Its a shame that 47D buses aren't running for the summer, but its completely understandable as to why. On the bright side they did make the combined frequency between the 41 and 47 every 15 mins during peak between Hamilton and 407 Station.

Hopefully this 501C mid day will relieve some stress off the insane and ridiculous demand on Hwy 7. Its obviously nowhere near the pre pandemic service of the 501A/C was but its something so it’s respectable. Glad to see 60 have better-ish service again as well. September is probably when we’ll...

Hurontario might for that matter as well. At least these lines are being built in a better way than Eglinton ever did, even if both lines are mostly surface level.

Best bet is probably September. Thinking that they want to get the most done before those lines make a return, including new 30 min service to Unionville (and maybe to Bramalea as well as Stouffville trains interline with the Kitchener line and they also seem ready for 30 min service as well).

Another alternative they could do is run the 17 on weekends with an express branch to KW, and maybe have special express service running from either Kipling or 407 station (25F but skipping Bramalea). This is only for now until weekend trains can fully be implemented. Running different services...

That’s simply not all true. There are already a couple of towns and cities in the GTA that can and will grow into this anyways. For examples, Kitchener line has a number of good villages, employment areas, and downtowns it connects to (Bloor, Mount Dennis, Weston, Bramalea, Mount Pleasant...

Keep in mind that along the Sheppard Line (in a future context), all its potential connections will head downtown anyway. There will be the connection to Line 2 at McCowan and to the Stouffville line at Agincourt (Kennedy) in the east. Then the connections to Line 1 (both sides hopefully and...

If Sheppard goes ahead with the east extension, wouldn’t it also make sense to extend the Ontario Line further north to Don Mills Station? For connectivity and further relief to Line 1 (mostly Sheppard-Yonge) this is for sure logical.

as much as it is amazing to see a western extension being talked about like this, the eastern extension should be the main priority. That alone will turn both North York and Scarborough into way more transit opportunities to explore.

You can really feel the GO padding whenever a train arrives late to a stop, and all of a sudden speeds up to a point where they're trying to get there at the next stop and meet on time as if the train wasn't delayed at all. They overexaggerate the stop by stop travel time when it doesn't need...

This makes me hope that they have a plan to run trains in the underground sections only if something were to occur like this. Does anyone know if they’re making turnback tracks on Finch and Hurontario as well?

Glad to see Derry being a priority for the possibility of bus lanes. It was the most frequent Miway route (i think ever) coming at least every 5 mins last year and for a route that runs 85% through industrial and commercial areas that is super impressive. To be fair most of it does come from...

This is exactly the same problem they had with Niagara traffic for a couple years at Burlington, and then they finally added more trains and even more just recently to where it could hopefully allow the crowd control to be reduced to as minimally as possible given the resources they could do...
