    Transit City Plan

    According to Metrolinx, Projected peak pphpd ridership in 2031; Hurontario - 4000 Finch West - 3500 Considering the margin of error on these numbers, these 2 lines might as well be considered identical.

    Globe: Toronto's history stashed in a closet

    Here's a view from johnfitzgerald on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/jfitzg/4652671546/ Certainly some potential there.

    Toronto Queens Quay & Water's Edge Revitalization | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    FTA Why does it seem like every decision made by the Brothers Ford is based purely on "common sense"??? Is there no place for complexity or analysis anymore? I wish my life was filled with such simple black-and-white decisions.

    Poll: What Should The New Eglinton/Scarborough LRT/Metro Be Called?

    Except that no one does that....just like no one says "take the Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway west to.."

    Toronto Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    ...there was no "905 bashing" to get all rant-y over. It's the extension to the 905 that sucks...not the 905 itself. No need to get all defensive.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Nothing about brothels??? Hmmm....pretty dumb...I guess. That dude has raised the bar so high it's getting harder to impress me with dumb-ness these days. Hopefully a trend has been set here. Those middlers should start understanding any day now just what sort of power they wield...but it...

    TTC targets farebox cheaters

    Agreed. When I was a transit-virgin in the time-based system in London it took all of 2 seconds to fully comprehend. After moving to Toronto several years ago I'm still occasionally thrown by some of the bizarre quirks of our system, transfer-wise. Silly shit like this just adds one more...

    The End Of The Road: Saying Goodbye To Freeways

    I'd be equally interested to hear a cost-effective way to make this happen. Are we talking about running along the lake bottom here, or what? My sarcasm-senses are tingling, but that's not generally nfitz's style...

    Transit problems getting out of hand across the country.

    is this urbantoronto or semanticssmackdown???...it's so hard to tell some days

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    If Presto is coming, so is fare-by-distance. Might be a few years...but it's coming.

    Poll: What Should The New Eglinton/Scarborough LRT/Metro Be Called?

    I just send people to Yonge and College. It's got a Subway, a Metro, a Subway Station, and a Metro Station...problem solved!

    TTC: Sheppard Subway Expansion (Speculative)

    I would have made just as many short jokes about Mayor Joe Pants as I do make fat jokes about Mayor Ford. Probably more actually. Mayor George would have been tougher....people get touchy about gay jokes, and bald jokes don't do anything for me....maybe jokes about him strangling staffers...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    If you use GO frequently, you shouldn't use Presto? Wow...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    You're 100% right. No need for exclamation points. I was just pointing out that to them it looks like it's overwhelmingly one group. You seriously think they can tell the difference between Sri Lankans, Indians, and Pakistanis??? Trust me, they can't. I've had so many random discussions...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    It's not extreme at all...but it's very much present. I spend a decent amount of time out there, and the sentiment truly is strange and unsettling. I don't mean to defend their behaviour in any way, but someone earlier referred to their Bramptonian neighbours as 'multicultural'. I don't...

    1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    Holy shit. It was metaphorical rust...you know, cuz it's been sitting around for so long and he wants to ride it already.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    With the new legacy fleet replacements coming there will be POP routes all over the core interacting with all sorts of other routes. Eglinton's fare policy will be decided there.
