BRT-lite with a transfer, then. Which is probably what Scarborough will get, once all the fighting is done.

I agree with everything you said. An overpriced train with using the wrong rolling stock to serve an incredibly small market of mostly non-residents. That's a complete design failure. All because of a 20-year-old federal commitment that never made sense but that no one had the courage to walk...

Right. That's the point. UPE is a complete design failure, in a city that is starved for rail transit. They can't even connect it conveniently to existing subway stations, let alone attract riders to new stations. But, hey, they have an in-flight magazine. So there's that.

I've often thought that - the heritage roof supports are really quite attractive, but the rest of the roof should go in favour of more light. But wouldn't it be very hot under such a low roof if solar energy were allowed to pass through? Those great glass train sheds in Europe tend to be much...

I think you've all Forgotten this poster's penchant for sarcasm.

It all makes sense now. We can't have the TTC-GO connection because the Crossways parking lot is being used to store all the crash-landed UFOs. I guess They had to move them there after Hillary Clinton said she was going to blow the lid off Area 51 next January. :)

Because Bathurst and College, isn't it?

You ... you mean ... some kind of "above ground subway"? Why, that idea's so crazy, it just might work!

... which of course is exactly what they should be doing

Probably been said here before but it seems rather inspired by Arne Jacobsen's wonderful St. Catherine's College Oxford. But the Jackman's pilasters are rather heavier -- too heavy IMO. (Source: wikimedia)

I vote Nerdlinger Centre. Where's the online poll?

It's Kitsch, pure and simple.

At $150 million a year from taxis and parking I'd say it's a large fortune not a small fortune. And people wonder why GTAA doesn't do a better job advertising the UPE!

The missing lower case is a problem that could be solved. The mix of Subway font and lower case in that spacing cover seems fine to me. (I don't of course mean the "spacing" logo itself, which is a truly awful hodgepodge of characters.) So many arguments in favour of Subway font. For one, given...

You think? I find it looks good on the 512 stops and should be used on all of them. It's more legible than no sign which is what we have most places now! And I like it in even smaller applications.

So many good ideas on this forum, I wish we could crowd-source more transit planning in this town! In this case I can't see any benefit to extending Church St for cars. But extending the LRT tunnel east from Union under the Esplanade, with a stop at Church before turning south to Cooper St...

As I stated, there is no evidence that pedestrian-cycling injury collisions are frequent. Let anyone who thinks so provide evidence. It is simply false to say "we all know this is a serious problem". We don't know that. All the evidence we have suggests it is NOT a serious problem. Yes, we...

Is that definitely happening? I see the argument in favour but I'm not sure. The original intent was to transition to cobblestone as a warning to cyclists to slow down in the conflict area. Has the pendulum really swung so far that we have to warn pedestrians to be aware, and not cyclists?

Notice he doesn't call me a moron, he just asks me if I am one. High-functioning troll.

Yes I do. The correct answer is: "It is so very rare that you should not worry about it." The car is a far greater threat to all of us - let's spend our time thinking about that instead. And to say "Of course there are many more incidents, but the media don't report on it." Well, that's classic...
