    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I would keep the cash fare at the full adult price. Need a "discount" fare (IE. student, senior, child), apply for it using PRESTO. Even if the "child" is supposed to be free, the PRESTO card becomes an "ID" for the "discount".

    Are there bicycle runnels on the stairwells?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Pre-school children under 5 travel free (without a PRESTO card) when accompanied by a fare-paying customer. After the child’s 6th birthday, the family should visit a participating Shoppers Drug Mart or a Customer Service Outlet location to set up their children's PRESTO card. Children 12 and...

    Other than the GO bus, guessing no GO trains from Hamilton to Kitchener during Oktoberfest.

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

    From the 2010 "Environmental Project Report". Which means that the crossover locations may or may not have been built, because they would not tell the non-executive "folks" like us if they did it or not. That report is very old as seen by the station names. There must be some recent report...

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    Electric vehicles would then use the highways for "free", since they use electricity to power them, not petroleum. Hybrid vehicles would however pay some "gas tax", but not 100%. Also, the "gas tax" does not pay for city streets, since it is paid by property taxes. Only provincial highways...

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

    There is a crossover on Line 5 between Cedarvale (Eglinton West) and Avenue Road. I forgot where the crossover is. (There is a track map of all the pocket tracks and crossovers.) They could use the section from Mt. Dennis to Cedarvale until Eglinton is up and running in the meantime. Except...

    Looks like musical chairs happening among all the transit agencies around the GTA.

    Bridge clearance to be 5.0m for all vehicular bridges.

    TTC: Jane (LRT) RapidTO

    They should redesignate all the routes for the TTC to reflect the "priority" they have or should have. A prefix maybe of some help. The subways (Lines 1, 2, & 4) should have the same prefix, or maybe letters instead of numbers. The LRTs (Lines 5 & 6) should have a different prefix. The...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    How many people ignore these signs?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Sometimes a longer or shorter dwell time is created at stations to adjust the trains to the schedule. Better than crawling at the terminal stations.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    'Ontarians simply cannot cope': Ford calls on Bank of Canada to stop raising interest rates From link. Payday loans are regulated by the province of Ontario. So what have you done to combat payday loan interest rates? The maximum lending rate is set by each province after "careful...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    From link. Wonder if they do a TV documentary of Doug Ford, would it be a comedy or horror? (With a Klingon AKA John Colicos as Cornelius Van Horne)

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    I guess that in the United States of America, their health insurance premiums are a "tax" then. With pre-existing conditions.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    Employment Insurance is an insurance. Employers pay 1.4 times the amount of the employee's premium.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Should be better by 2031, the Ontario Line project is planned for completion in 2031. We'll see if the Ontario Line will draw the crowds away from Dufferin Station. Likely the Lakeshore West GO's Exhibiton Station will also be improved enough by then, for the people coming from the west.
