Eglinton West has both 34 and 35, higher frequency combined than the 26 or 36. So I don't see much ridership decline west of Hurontario. The 36 is one of the busiest routes in the city, and it would be even busier if it was combined with the either 26 or 76. Derry has lower density than...

"Highway 10" is common because it is easier to say than "Hurontario Street", but there is no reason to say "Highway 5" instead a much more simple "Dundas". I like that Hurontario has a colloquial name. It's in people's mind as something more than just Hurontario. To formalize it like with a...

The introduction of 35 and 109 and the recent extension of 39 helped the 45 a bit but still lacks connection to 26/76 and 1C/101. 45 is a pure grid route going north-south so connections to major east-west routes is needed. Broken corridors and the broken grid is the number one problem with...

You let a bully push you around, he will continue to push you around. That's what's happening to Tory and the City of Toronto right now. Tory is spineless. I have always criticized what has been going on with Toronto's transit. But even if I didn't like it, at least it was Toronto's plan. The...

The province dictating Toronto's transit system, especially a lien entirely within Toronto's boundaries, without any sort of input from the city, the mayor having no idea about the plan, is just a bad precedent. "Ontario Line" is a very fitting name, more than just symbolic.

Sheppard is busier than Finch, serves the main part of North York Centre, connects North York and Scarborough Centres together, and unlike Finch it is one of the most prominent corridors in the Avenues Plan, but somehow people think Finch is the more important corridor. I'll never understand...

24 hour service for 7 before 5 and 26 is surprising. But I guess they wanted to do something for Malton and serve the airport. The TTC Bloor Blue Night buses go to the airport anyways so Islington isn't that important. I never thought I would 24 hour service in Mississauga but I guess the 1 is...

#1 is labelled as the "original" but #2 was the actual original proposal. Switching to the more-disruptive #1 allow for all this controversy in the first place. I don't think there will ever be any need for LRT north of downtown anyways so #1 is not needed either. Connecting downtown to...

I like the doughnuts of Country Style, owned by a Montreal-based company. No more "Always Fresh" frozen stuff for me.

Yeah, Scarborough RT is a good example. It is off of the street like subway. Fare-paid zones like subway. No meaningful difference from subway from the practical standpoint. No need for the "LRT" brand at all. I think the fare payment system is important. The streetcars now use proof-of-payment...

I think trying to separate streetcars from light rail, or vice versa, and therefore further entrenching a division between downtown and suburbs only plays into the hands of the Fords'. I think it is hard for people to see what is the meaningful difference between the new LRVs in ROWs on...

I think that was a huge mistake for LRT proponents to try to brand LRT is something completely different from streetcars, that Flexity Freedom is completely different than Flexity Outlook, or that the Canadian Light Rail Vehicle is not a light rail vehicle. Transit City could have harnessed the...

I have just re-edited all photos and added 13 more from that day (August 14, 2014). 1 photo was also replaced with a different version. All of the new photos are marked with an asterisk(*).

All photos taken on September 20, 2018. Yellow and Purple Chairs - King Street Pilot Project Everyone Is (a) Kid - King Street Pilot Project Everyone Is (a) Kid - King Street Pilot Project Ziggy - King Street Pilot Project Construction Site - 357 King Street West Construction Site -...

I took one picture of the mall exterior, it's that alleyway above. If I had known the mall was dying I would have gone inside to photograph the interior as well. I will make sure to bring my tripod and wide angle converter next time I go to Sarnia to photograph inside. Thanks bringing it to my...

(and a little bit of Port Huron too) Photos taken on July 22 and 23, 2017.

I get what you mean. But just because people see "Toronto" a certain way doesn't mean it is true. Keithz should know better. Hamilton is only tenuously connected with Toronto and GTA, including politically, and the rest of the Greater Golden Horsehoe beyond is even more tenuous. Even Burlington...

Red herring? You are the one making up definitions, not me. Attacking Toronto because of what going on in Hamilton is just laughable. Hamilton is not "Toronto." And neither is Niagara, Barrie, Guelph, Kitchener and all those other places GO/Metrolinx serves. 7 different CMAs, 8 million...

No, a strawman argument is more like attacking the province's full funding for an LRT project outside of the GTA such as the Hamilton LRT as an example of the province's special treatment for Toronto. The disparity on transit funding that is incredible is the complete lack of contribution from...

But yeah, and I am sure the rest of Ontario would be much better off financially if Toronto was no longer part of the province. And a true Premier of Toronto would probably not give a shit about Hamilton, since, y'know, Hamilton is different metropolitan area. But I wouldn't mind the GTA...
