Just because he's the author, doesn't mean his article has canonical fixity. New people can come along, interpret his ideas and figure things out for themselves. That's what exegesis is all about. I hardly see how something proposed in 1985 still has any relevancy today, especially if it still...

Hello, these hundreds of thousands of more people already use transit, they don't scowl "I wish this was a subway I was riding on", they grin and bare it or at least I do. Why stress over something as trivial as a <2 min interchange at Kennedy Stn? I'm not discounting the fact that a subway...

I'm with Shocker on this one. Obama's teethy grin could deflect the bullets and anyone verse enough with the basketball as he is, certainly could dodge out of harm's way. If all else fails the strength of his well-articulated convictions would silence any naysayers into submission, hence score...

^ However if Bomber can build new ICTS cars to replace the dying ones, as Unimaginative claims, then there'd be no need to dismantle the RT line. The tracks are electrified and naturally generate snow-melting heat. If excessive snow hasn't stopped, granted impeded but not halted service on...

Oh, I can totally see where his bias comes from now. Thanks Scarberian.

There is no God. I wrote a scathing letter...er essay, purporting this claim with referential evidence to my philosophy TA a couple years ago. Something I said must've rang true because I received an A+ ;)!

That's the same dilemna facing Leslieville/Beach residents and the 83/92 routes aren't even regular service. Where's their transit hub? Transit Toronto has posted 3 likely paths. Along elitist Parkside, the commerical but fragile Roncesvalles and adjacent to the Weston-Galt SUB where only...

Simple, the 500 series streetcars stop on average eight times per concession [note: the stop density is even greater than that in some areas e.g. between Church and Bathurst; Mimico]. Buses follow the same formula. Both modes of transit are bogged down by surface impediemnts (congestion, traffic...

I could foresee an extension in the immediate short term (5 years?) to Orillia given that the railway already exists along the north shore of Lake Simcoe, and would likely only stop in between at Shanty Bay and/or Oro-Medonte. I wouldn't rule out an infill between Allendale and Bradford either...

I like the notion of Coxwell over Pape myself. I don't know why we'd let condos dictate where to place our subway lines (oh wait, that's the criteria everyone's looking for nowadays, right?) as I'm sure someone will argue for in the case of Pape/Cosburn. Using Coxwell however in the very...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-subway it's just that alot of these 'ideas' seem to exist only in transit fanatic's imaginations with total disregard for the limitless possibilities of LRT/BRT. What many here label as TRANSFER CITY, in fact would be replacing go-slow local buses and streetcars...

:eek: Wow Uni, it must have took you forever to get all that posted! As if Roncevalles or worse Parkside has anything of worth to justify those meandering alignments over the rail corridor. In this case I guess I'll make the third person in agreeance ;). DRL=WWLRT, major difference...

http://transit.toronto.on.ca/subway/5110.shtml "East of Leslie station, the line passes through a bridge over the Don River East Branch. This bridge, which cost nearly $15 million to build, is a 60 metre long, completely enclosed box of concrete." :rolleyes: Hey, tell that to the brain...

Precisely what I meant. Nice when people can read between the lines ;)! From what I've head the most expensive component to the $2 billion+ Sheppard Line was it's intricate crossing of the Don River, east of Leslie. So should we really allow history to repeat itself, on a 200m high suspended...

Nothing can be said for how exactly a d'Earl line would route through the core yet as no serious proposals have come up pretaining to it since the 1980s. If done completely underground I'd imagine it would be technically impossible to route within the rail corridor without seriously infringing...

When have we seen so many college-aged youth and ethnic minorities becoming this interested in American politics before? If these two, never before seen lobbies unite behind one frontrunner (guess who), it'd be of no shock that the Democrats pull a victory come November. And if all else fails...

Apart from one line barely fringing Rouge Park, I don't see any Tranist City lines heading for random/ undevelopable areas, and a DRL that short and out-of-the-way would actually increase dependency on buses over it. If 'Toronto' really wanted a world class transit map they'd begin in the...

Fitting glass is a reflective surface, seeing how whomever's planning this project is well versed in the art of veils, smoke screens and mirrors- i.e. I smell a scam :rolleyes:. Hopefully the cash spike will nip this proposal in the bud, that or public outcry for something better than 1980s era...

Sheppard was an errorenous project from day one in the vain of Sorbara-type monopolizing of transit finances and corporate embargo alotting certain private sector groups to coerce politicians to give this project the greenlight. To throw one more penny of hard-to-come-by transit windfall...

^ I've witnessed multiple people attempt the 2-minute mad dash through phone conversations between Warden and Victoria Park. Yes, cellphone calls on the transit system are very annoying especially considering the bulk of conversations seemingly pretain to the exact GPS coordinance of a traveller...
