What about the buses themselves? Does the Region own them?

Looking at GO's Presto pages... Using Presto, GO charges you a regular fare minus 7.5% for the first 35 rides per month, a regular fare minus 87.5% for rides 36-40, and then further rides are free. This is if you only take trips between the same two locations. If you take trips between more...

Or better yet, set it up for a few inbound runs towards Kitchener in the morning, and outbound in the afternoon. And also start the Kitchener runs west of Kitchener so there's provision for something of a Kitchener-centric commuter pattern as well. Maybe by the time the Kitchener-Waterloo LRT...

I wonder how wide that pedestrian bridge will be. It looks like it may become something of a trunk route. Will they connect other buildings to it?

Looking at the Google Maps view, this seems quite possible. All they need to add is two short segments of road from the offramp-intersections to the onramps, one on either side of the 404. There could be a platform on each one, with a crosswalk to corresponding Viva-bus platforms. Another good...

I've been thinking about connectivity lately. One thing that might make sense is for GO buses coming down Highway 404 to make a stop to interchange with the buses on Highway 7. I'm not sure about the configuration of the interchange there: does it allow or can it be easily modified to allow a...

Any news?

I always thought that the blue lights indicated a handicapped-accessible vehicle. Granted, if all TTC vehicles become handicapped-accessible, then the lights become useful for distinguishing arriving TTC vehicles, but that's not the lights' origin.

I went downtown on the train for work yesterday, and passed by the Presto machine. There were two representatives from GO explaining it. I chatted with them a little (in the process remembering that I had Forgotten To Tap Off), and learned something surprising: GO bus drivers can apparently...

I've seen both 69 and 69A heading to Sutton...

:: peers at pic :: Is that the *old* Visa logo?

Has anyone heard anything about the YRT strike lately? I haven't even found much on the news sites.

It's an online survey. The questions... Have you used a Presto card before? Yes. How did you hear about the Presto card? (Advertsining, media, giveavays, etc...) I filled in the "other" choice as "discussion on Urban Toronto" :) What ONE word best describes the Presto card for you? Hmm...

I just got an email from Let Go Know: "Tell us what you think about the PRESTO farecard". I think I might have a few things to say... :: rubs hands with glee ::

I wonder whether the Loblaws will be able to sell Maple Leaf brand foods? ;)

I could see a northward continuation from the highest part of the Skywalk, over Station St and through the second floor of 171 Front St W, and then down to Front St. Edit: ...though the Skywalk as is would be awkward for getting into the Convention Centre without a few modifications; isn't...

Weren't they going to put one of these at Rathburn and the 427?

Is that the block located east of Church St on the north side of Queen, the one imagined as Cathedral Square?

Just west of Yonge? It is elevated. :)

Man, I feel a little sorry for the people who live in that condo on the SE corner of Simcoe and Bremner: construction on three sides! They are probably comforted by the knowledge of solid property prices though...
