    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    This is basically impossible due to the way the system is designed. When you do an online load, the card isn't told its new balance like it is when you take it to an agent that has the writer. The readers rely on the card's balance or a copy of the database which is synced to it once a day at...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Oh, snap! :eek: That would've been really useful for me a few weekends ago trying to get to YorkU.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I noticed that on weekends there are a lot of GO movements both ways along the Barrie line near the Junction, even though there's no service. Where are these trains going? Probably off topic but here's a question I'd like to get an answer to since Google is really unhelpful: How do GO crews...

    1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    How hard is it to do a software update on these things? None of our suggestions such as swapping the colours on the minimap, using the LCD screens for surface connections/updates, rewording the robolady's announcement of interchange stations, or fixing her poor pronunciation of "Dumbass" station...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    TBMs are practically the cheapest part of making a subway. Land acquisition and engineering costs are orders of magnitude more.

    Lost Road: Rathburn Rd Bridge

    Weeks ago I wrote Holyday('s staff) a letter requesting this bridge be considered and what happened to it. I got a phone call from their staff saying that decades ago Mississauga wanted it but Toronto NIMBYs killed it. In the letter I suggested a bridge with bike lanes, sidewalks and a...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    It's starting to make way more sense to rename this station "Liberty"

    Square One Shopping Centre

    All walmart needs to do is cut Playdium, who must be languishing in 2013, a cheque that is just borderline inoffensive and then they can have a brand new building and all the space they want right across the street.

    TTC: St. Clair Streetcar Right Of Way

    I looked on Google Earth and it looks like there's plenty of room to stick in a ROW along Dundas. It's also a straight connection between ECC and Midtown (I have no idea how many people make this commute though)

    TTC: St. Clair Streetcar Right Of Way

    Is there any serious plan to extend the 512 and run it along Dundas to Kipling/427, possibly with an extended 505? It's basically an extraordinarily cheap way to get a second crosstown.

    Lost Road: Rathburn Rd Bridge

    Google Earth says that from Burnhamthorpe and 427, it's 3.5km to Ponytrail/Renforth via current routing, and 4.7km via Rathburn extension. However, the new routing serves 900m of Rathburn that was previously unserved. edit: I was thinking of the 76 there, but you could send the 26 up 427 if...

    Lost Road: Rathburn Rd Bridge

    Did mississauga at any point have plans to bridge Rathburn across Etobicoke creek? A way overbuilt 4 lane road just dead ends. They could have finished it sent the 20 along there to the 427. With the loop for the TTC 48 gone they could just send it down Mill/Old Burnhamthorpe/Elmcrest or...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Please do not donate money to this campaign. It is flexible funding meaning the person keeps the money even if it does not meet its goal. He does not say how he would get the video and we have no idea if the "6 figure price" is $100000 even.

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    I'd beef up service on the new 30 and also the 26 Dupont. Nothing would run along High Park since there's no point running a bus route that short. The point is to make an alternate route in case the subway goes fubar between Kipling/427 and Dundas West. Right now that's a two seat ride. edit...

    I'll draw it all the way out to EMTC if there was even the slightest chance that Hazel would pay for it.

    Quickie map (click, then again for big): Notes: -Trenched/at grade extension along railway corridor, tunnel only required to duck under the railway tracks into Sherway station -Sherway goes underneath the parking lot of the Sears. It could also be at grade, but it would have to go behind...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    I've seen those towers before. Not that I'm complaining.
