And do the machines only sell fares to GO rail stations? ISTR trying to buy a ticket from Union to Peterborough and not having the choice. Maybe a second set of destinations could be bus terminals and ticket agencies.

When I was at Waterloo, first-year students were *required* to live on campus. Don't know whether that's still the case. In second year I shared an apartment in Cockroach Towers, the (at the time) only apartment building nearby, on the south side of University. Even so, I would occasionally...

So do you have to push a button to exit, or what?

Was that lower level for the Mississauga bus terminal even built?

Last weekend, I took the GO train to Danforth and walked up to Main Street subway station. I dug a token out of my pocket in preparation. Upon entering, I was confronted by a white hoarding around the fare-gate area with two signs on it pointing to entrances at left and right. Left was the...

Yeah, I've stood on the bank of the canal watching them open and close that bridge. It is ...leisurely. Still, pretty amazing that something that big can move on, apparently, muscle power.

Wow! I had no idea that website existed. Time to comment!

That may be it. When I was looking at Square terminals a while ago, for example, they did not handle Interac. Perhaps this has changed. I believe Interac charges a set amount per transaction, while Visa/MC charge a percentage, at the least. That would add up on larger transactions.

IIRC, they didn't take Interac. Disadvantage when the others started to.

I've been looking into flights for the summer. I partly-booked a selection on Air Canada's website, far enough into the process to get prices, and looked for an add-on of UPX tickets. There was none, of course. This seems to be a major opportunity lost for Metrolinx. What would it take to add a...

I was looking at Bowmanville on Google Maps. There doesn't seem to be a lot of room along the CP line through Bowmanville for two more tracks, let alone a station, without a lot of land acquisition and demolition. A station there would make a lot of sense from a walkability perspective, though...

Sub-national governments... Ontario is larger than California?

:: nods :: And I am in Peterborough and see that track every day. Level crossings all through downtown Peterborough. A very scenic stretch through East City with a wooden bridge over the track, and then a level crossing of Maria St at about a 15-degree angle. Right now, it's quiet, rustic, with...

I went through Oshawa station yesterday, and had a look at the track. The south GO track, #2, is right next to the northernmost VIA track (#3), and can't be extended without hitting the bridge building. The north GO track, #1, would clear the buildings and go right through the site of the...

The new Oshawa station is being built in front of the existing small, grotty station building. I *think* that there will be enough space between it and the existing newish overpass that the existing GO tracks can be extended eastwards through the site of the old station (which would result in...

I've thought for a while that UPX needs to make their tickets buyable when you book a plane ticket. $27.50 doesn't look so large when it's next to $1000 or $2000. You could get a separate ticket printout/email with your plane tickets. Is this done now, or possible? Is it the sort of thing that...

I did not know about the state (or lack thereof) of rail between Hamilton and K-W. I agree that getting a solid bus service in there should come first.

Wow. I saw the news coverage. On Saturday I just walked up to Union UPX station at approximately 1:30pm and got on, no lineups or anything, went to the airport, wandered over to T3, was there for around 10 minutes before I realized I should probably get back downtown to catch the bus to...

That answers that question then. It was before 2013 that I remember that...

Re: streetcar service Cherry to Dufferin loops... Did they fix the track on Dufferin? I remember walking by there on King St a couple of years ago, looking down Dufferin St towards the loop, and seeing visibly sunken/out-of-alignment rails.
