Well, several of the municipalities run their buses on a regional basis... York and Durham, for example.

They need to encourage every transit system that link with GO to use it. Peterborough, Kitchener, Barrie, Niagara...

Are they going to lower the floor of the section of the moat that is underneath the bridge/plaza in front of the centre of Union Station?

Thing is, it's not just the rapidways they're building, is it? They're rebuilding the entire road, and moving all sorts of things around. Probably three times the cost of just building two lanes of busway and some stations at the side.

There used to be an escalator at Whitby station, and it was removed. My impression is that escalators operating in unheated semi-outdoors environments like the GO station platform areas weren't all that reliable, and GO has been replacing them with elevators.

Hmm. The bus hit T1 first, where I got out, then later it somehow reached T3. I seem to recall it hitting T3 first in the past, then later T1, and hitting that pedestrian access stop as well without having to exit to Airport Road after the 427. Am I imagining things? I thought maybe the order...

Man, every time they build something at the airport, it's like they just drop another layer of bridges on top of what's already there. I went out there on Sunday to have a look at what's going on, but didn't get nearly as good a view. :) I rode the Airport Rocket bus from Kipling. I hadn't...

They could have made the same video about Chicago, complete with isostatic rebound, and maybe minus the ravines, and they wouldn't have put nearly as frosty a look on it.

Seems a little sensationalistic, no? It makes it sound like we're living in Antarctica or something. Though the swelling rock is interesting.

I'm sure I've seen that before, with the original narration. Is it from the Prelinger Archives?

Is that what they've been doing along those platform edges? I was wondering.

I've often wondered whether there could eventually be a north-south service in the west end: Niagara Falls / Hamilton / Cambridge / Waterloo? At least, a GO bus service between Hamilton and Waterloo might make sense.

Man, that's an intricate model. What scale is the GO train? ;)

The logical western end point to such a line would be not Detroit, but Chicago.

I've been thinking about this ever since GO Route 69 through Sutton was replaced by YRT Route 50. They say that GO may not duplicate local service running along the same route. But GO doesn't! GO is an interregional service whose very purpose is to take people between regions. It would make...

Heh. Here's the production company's blurb: Er, what? We rarely hit -20 anymore!

Just to confirm... Target is the former Zellers, across from the bus station, yes? (Haven't been to SQ1 for a while, but I used to be a real mall rat there in younger days...)

...and Interac Flash. If Presto gets that capability, Interac Flash might be the best way to pay the equivalent of cash in the future.

Minor Presto-ish update... Last Saturday while passing through Finch northbound, I was able to select a three-zone fare for tapping my Presto card. Don't know when they enabled that. When I got to Newmarket and boarded the Sutton bus, though, the driver said that he was unable to collect a...

Yeah, it was the Blair St level crossing I meant. I spent eight months living in Port Whitby when I was in high school; I should have remembered. :)
