Glad to see I wasn't the only one to think of that. We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. ;)

This brings up a good question: what is going to happen with overnight service on TC routes? Will the lines be shut down and bustituted for Blue Night service? I can see this being probable at least on Sheppard, given how running a Blue Night bus from Yonge to Don Mills and then forcing a...

*Mr Burns voice* Eeeeexcellent.

I've always assumed that the underground section will have longer stop spacing, with a stub Eglinton bus remaining on the surface, similar to Sheppard. I don't see the TTC spending all the money to make an underground line with that many stops. I don't think they're far enough into the...

I was bringing up exceptional circumstances, not standard circumstances. However, I think there will be a lot of those exceptional circumstances. For example, look at Eglinton east of VP. It's mostly big box development and industry. Thus, I could see stops at Victoria Park, Pharmacy, Warden...

Somehow I think 500 metres won't be a hard and fast rule. For example, Kennedy Station to Midland is almost 600 metres and there is nothing of consequence in between the two. Brimley/Danforth to McCowan is 650-800 metres. In the suburbs, the stop spacing will almost surely be longer due to...

Good to see it went well. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it. Hopefully there's something like this in Hamilton, given how we're in the Metrolinx service area. Also, holy crap, how have I never heard of this MyTTC.ca thing before now? I can't wait for it to launch, it looks like it'll blow the...

Hey nfitz? Please shut up and stop white-knighting the asshole on the streetcar. Also:

Apparently the plugin hasn't been updated since Mozilla 1.4 as well, so no Firefox access either.

So you want us to help you lie to your professors in order to get you out of something that was your fault. No thanks.

People always make this point, yet they never seem to realize the key difference between the two. If the subway goes down, you can wait in a nice, heated station with benches and shops. If a streetcar line goes down, you're stuck standing in a cold, unheated shelter (or, alternatively, the...

Dammit, I got all excited and then realized the date.

I think that Transit City, even if built as a 510 style operation, could work. However, imperative to this is FULL SIGNAL PRIORITY. No matter how frequent the stops, with the frequency of service we are expecting to see stop lights will be the single biggest cause of bunching, especially if...

Well, that certainly came out of nowhere. I was under the impression that a James North Via station was a given. Guess not.

This would involve taking four lanes out of the road in order for it to work safely. The only place where an above-ground subway line might be doable along Eglinton is in the former Richview Expressway lands. Otherwise there just isn't enough room.

Remember that a lot of people thought the Barrie South extension would be wasted due to few people using it. "How many people could conceivably be commuting from Barrie?" they asked. Last that I checked that extension was performing above expectations. So remember, just because something may...

*slips pistol into pocket, walks casually away from corpse of thread* What are you lookin' at? :D

I was simply making a comment about how every thread turns into a flamewar, given how you were arguing with Doady. I wasn't trying to incite any arguments, and I meant that first post more as a joke than anything. But of course everything on here must be taken 100% seriously and it's impossible...

I'd be the guy who tries to get involved in the thread, but gives up before even posting because I don't feel like reading through 20 pages of back and forth "you're wrong" "no, you're wrong, also your mom". Seriously people, how much drama can there possibly be on a board about...
