Someone might take train from King or Queen to Vaughan, or Rosedale to St. Andrew or something. It's one line and so it should be shown on the map as one line. But just announce to train is going to Union then after Union announce it is going to Vaughan.

So gays are the ones who are causing homophobia because of all the pride parades they done. Learn something new everyday.

You can look at DART LRT in Dallas and see what happens they build too much for longer distance travel. It's too much like commuter rail, too reliant on park-and-ride, the ridership is terrible. We want higher density, and higher density means shorter distances. Wider space between stops to the...

Light rail and subway/metro have similar stop spacing. Usually 500m to 1km. 500m spacing is common for TTC subway, for New York City. Of course NYC subway has express too but the system is mainly local, the stops are close together. And they have to be given the high density otherwise the...

Nice to see more of the Crossride intersections. Mississauga has been building off-road bike paths everywhere too but not as many Crossrides. They still put up those dumb "Cyclists dismount and walk bicycle across roadway" signs everywhere.

I don't see how anyone can look around Elia/Kingsbridge and say there is not enough there to warrant an LRT stop. If it doesn't deserve a stop then County Court doesn't either. 1km stop spacing is for the low-density industrial parts. High density portions should be around 500m. To give...

It isn't any different from County Court and Ray Lawson. But there will no connecting bus routes unlike County Court. There is a very high density all along Hurontario between 403 and Bristol, but only one stop to serve them all. It is a bit unusual. The 19 will have to remain in service for...

311 shootings. How many of those shootings were committed by females? I bet the shooters (and their victims) were overwhelmingly males. And I think you find that is true not just in Toronto, not only across Canada, but across the whole world. The overwhelming maleness of violent crimes is the...

Yeah I don't think there much point building BRT in Toronto. The frequency of the buses would be too high for signal priority. BRT vs. LRT vs. subway is mostly about capacity. Riders only care that it's fast and gets them where they want to go. Ottawa was one of the leaders in transit...

Congratulations to Ottawa for finally becoming a real city.

Well, 92 and 96 go much further into Toronto so I think it's safe to assume they carry more people into Toronto. Since this BRT would serve Ellesmere, maybe it better to compare GO's 92 and 96 to TTC's 95 and 995... Honestly, I just find it baffling that people think Highway 401 is a more...

4st and 15th Streets in Downtown St Paul and Downtown Minneapolis are only minor streets which you can probably tell from how dead there are in the pictures. There are one of many such streets, as their names imply. In contrast, Main St is more of the Main street, the major corridor, as its name...

Pulse gets 10,344 riders per weekday. GO 92 and 96 get only 2,631 and 1,425 per weekday, less than half combined. That's why they think about Ellesmere instead of 401. It might also be difficult to build transitways and stations down the middle of 401. Highway 2 in terms of service level and...

Grade-separating light rail like Eglinton-Crosstown could have allowed longer trains and more frequently without worry of disrupting on-street traffic, including pedestrian traffic. But since Eglinton-Crosstown will also have on-street sections, i.e. it is not full subway line, it will not be...

The difference between light rail and heavy rail and horse-drawn carriages is not purely semantic, especially in the context of a discussion the capacity of the TTC system to handle the ridership growth.

As I said, they compare their own cities to Canadian cities too. Here one comparing transit in 5 US cities to that of Toronto. And even you noted that the article W .K Lis posted has some Canadian content. Two countries of similar age, former British colonies, that started on the same...

Exactly in what way did W. K. Lis. disguise what "Jeffrey W. Baker says:" as his own words? This thread is about sprawl. Sprawl in US and Canada have some similarities. US and Canada are neighbours. US has 10x the population, and therefore 10x the amount of writers. Get over it. It's not like...

Milton, Oakville, and Burlington Transit should have merged years ago. Even without merging systems they can do more to integrate. Milton to Sheridan is about the same distance as Bramalea City Centre to Dixie transitway station, served by 185 Dixie Express (currently temporarily operated...

It was only the subway numbers that were not unlinked. Around 400k trips per weekday or 100M trips annually were missing from the TTC total. Before it was around 800M unlinked vs 500M linked, but it should have been 900M unlinked. The Brampton Transit numbers on APTA are linked. Should be...
