I've ridden transit all over the world, I use GO all the time and ride TTC/MiWay/Zoom and it still happened to me the first time i rode UP Express. They installed two readers on the same platform that looked identical to each other. They are the same size and shape, same tap face and they were...

Billy bishop maybe highly efficient technically (most likely due its size) but that doesn't seem to have any impact on service levels from operators like Porter. They barely have 50% on time performance, and their customer service levels are imploding these past few years. Adding jets will not...

Does anyone know why the UPExpress runs so slow along the elevated portion leading into Pearson? I've been on it about 5 times now, and everytime the train crawls and screeches it's way along the elevated rail into and out of the airport. I'm talking under 20km/h, bumpy and squealy the entire...

8.5m is almost 3 stories high, wow. Would be really interesting to see some rough conceptual drawings, so we can visualize the massing and it's impact along that stretch. It's def the best option (vs tunnel) but that is going to be one giant eye sore for the area.

Just wanted to see what the islands looked like without the airport. Quick 5min MS paint job. Also, expanded that tiny Ontario Place park they are currently proposing.

finally. You are one of the craziest posters i've ever seen on the webs. please stop posting everywhere else too (thestar, redflagdeals, greaterfool, etc....)

My major gripe is that the TTC is that it sucks at everything... EVERYTHING! Everything they buy or build costs 10X that it does in any other part of the world (including europe). Everything they build, repair or install takes 100X longer than it should. They monitor their streetcar fleet with...

can we vote ban recharts? he has single-handedly ruined this thread.

I've never understood 500m spacing. 800-1000m spacing means that you are at most 4-500m from a stop, and that's only a ~3-5min walk.

I agree. The extension needs easy direct access to the 427. The 427 will most likely get BRT lanes at some point, and will act as a link between subway and the Mississauga east/west BRT line terminus at 427/401. Too bad mississauga is so conservative, they could easily convert many of their...

^ 60,000 a year and dropping, wow. 60,000/ 2.5 (typical household formation rate) = 24,000 units....i'd lop off maybe 8-10k to cover student rooming house situations/multi family units/illegal accomodations/general poverty, etc... so we'd maybe need ~15k units a year? how many are they building...
