Jesus Dentrobate, don't bust a gasket. I said myself that it'll probably never happen. I agree that there are many things that are of a higher priority than interlining Sheppard and Spadina. It was just a fantasy type thing.

I seem to have completely misread what Jonny meant with that post. I didn't notice that he was responding to the statement at the end of the post he quoted. I misread it as him saying "Anything that doesn't come to pass does so because it is retarded". Forget that I said anything, my bad.

Oh believe me, I'm not opposing that. I agree that building this plan out would be the dumbest thing ever. I was simply pointing out the absurdity of saying that something is retarded just because it never stands a chance of being built.

That would be extremely difficult if not impossible to engineer what with the current setup at Sheppard. It would involve far too much expensive construction to retrofit Sheppard-Yonge for west-north operation while still being able to stop at the station. As it stands, you'd have to skip...

Allow me to apply this statement to other things: Toronto circa the late 1980s: "The Downtown Relief Line is not a retarded idea!" "If it's not retarded, why will it never come to pass?" Or perhaps Toronto circa the late 1960s: "A light rail line up the Weston Sub is not a retarded...

When I saw the title I was expecting something out of a nature documentary. :p "Why, what is this? Over there, behind the newspaper vendors. Ah yes, it's the beautiful 29 Dufferin. As you can see, it is traveling as a pack, typical behaviour for this gentle beast. The four buses shall advance...

I dunno, that's how I've always heard it used. Then again, I tend to hang around in the lowest levels of internet humour message boards, so perhaps my view on slang is different from the common person's. Doesn't explain my hearing it a few times in real life though. I think it's just because...

That would be another joke. Commonly used at append a sentence where someone has misconstrued something obviously a joke as something serious.

I'm pretty sure that line was a joke, chief.

We're talking about the same city where drivers even have trouble remembering to put up the right rollsigns. I would prefer not to entrust them with the responsibility of switching out a route map at the start of their shift.

Your image appears to be broken, incidentally. Can you fix it please? This seems like an interesting proposal and I'd like to see it.

If you guys get this mad about a subway car getting vandalized, I'd hate to get caught spraypainting your house. "Oh my god you psycho, put the gun dow-" *crack* --Four hours later-- "Sir, why are there human body parts hanging from your tree? And for that matter, why are you dressed...

Well CLEARLY the solution is an elevated ICTS line connecting the two locations, allowing for minimal disruption of trees and roads. That or a subway connection. God, you have to start thinking like the bureaucracy if you're going to get anywhere.

That picture is hilarious to me. :) - "911, what is your emergency?" :eek: - "Dear God help me! I'm drowning!"

Boy oh boy, you just LOVE to bait people into arguments with the intention of sending threads into idiotic debates, don't you?

Regarding the subway argument: Can we seriously have one thread about Transit City that doesn't devolve into "DURR SUBWAYS ARE BETTER" vs "DURR LRT IS BETTER". This argument has been played out a thousand times before. The pro-subway people will never convince the pro-LRT people to come to...

Ugh. I am currently compelled to write a letter to Adam Giambrone wondering what the hell, but at the same time I know that I'll just get blown off no matter what I write. I hate politics.

That actually seems like a brilliant system you have right there. The only thing I would change would be removing the charge for using a vehicle that's at or over capacity. I can't think of any good reason for that, and it would just penalize people for taking buses that happen to be...

Pfft, such rational and logical thinking is not allowed. Now excuse me while I get back to drawing up my transit master plan. You see, in it, the Eglinton Line bypasses the airport, but a second line will run from the airport and link up with it somewhere in Brampton. Also, that second line will...

Ahem, the 510 Spadina? The Harbourfront? The connector track between Bathurst and Spadina? There has been expansion of streetcar service, hence the 509 and 510 existing, just nothing incredibly huge.
