Transfers will be fine - and Presto isn't going away. Debit/credit/mobile wallet will only offer a single adult TTC fare at this time. Therefore, until there's weekly/monthly fare capping, debit/credit/mobile wallet is useful for people who use the TTC on an irregular basis or a few times a...

FYI

My initial thoughts for the stations: I would prefer fully protected elevated stations - rather than exposed to the wind/rain/snow. White/grey colour scheme is pretty dull, even with the "pops of orange". I do wish that Metrolinx would have artwork - vitreous enamel or mosaic pieces are very...

Pulled out the "design vision" for y'all - click the link for more info, including more on each station.

Well this is intriguing!

I was talking about the STM map (left), not the ARTM one (right).

I find it fascinating that the Griffintown station has not been built yet - even with the delays! What's the hold up? It's unfortunately not a surprise that the STM map doesn't have the REM as a thick light green line - that's what happens when your regional transit operator has very little...

The deeper the tunnel required, the longer it has to be - something like a 3% gradient may require a very long tunnel to get deep enough. This is one reason why immersed tube tunnels became a popular choice, because you don't need to dig in bedrock, the tunnel sits on the bottom on the...

RE: Lake Ontario tunnel - Sometimes when coming up with various options for a report... you have to including ludicrously expensive options to make another expensive option seem a lot more reasonable... 100% not speaking from experience here...

As interesting as these look - I've been burnt by Metrolinx promising the world on the urban design and art of the Davenport Diamond Project, and then backtracking. So I will wait and see.

Yes, I can see the cost of investigating and fixing this... for 4 months of additional service - be a reason why the SRT will never reopen. Chow needs to push the TTC to spend the money ASAP on bus lanes, signal priority and decent wayfinding for the bus bridge, and work on the SRT corridor as...

Oh dear - rescuing a TBM is not cheap or easy!

Interesting stuff - surprised there's no attempt for even modest commercial along 16th Ave (given the 404 interchange). Such is the demand for industrial land in London (and the challenges of that) - is that double stacked industrial units are being developed. Surely the demand for industrial...

For those that haven't seen it - the Carto metro map is a great way to see the layout of the streetcar network - and the out of service / diversion trackage.

Thinking about this - the complete disconnect of TTC and Create TO means decisions have been made such as a) not rebuilding the substations with a development on top b) not building on top of the bus terminal or the station c) not building anything where the PPUDO will be located, or integrating...

Some renderings are in the TTC Board document - I found this plan useful, showing the future station.

I live in hope of day 1 actions of a) bye bye Rick Leary b) hello new Speaker of Council

Because the data shows that not many people use the Gardiner to cross downtown, and the eastern section is not heavily used compared to other sections of highway in the city. Most destinations are somewhere downtown. People "bypassing" downtown will use the OG Toronto bypass, the 401. For...

It's a wonderful place - I guess I didn't clarify my point well enough. You can't visit the islands for just five minutes - it's best to make an afternoon/day of it. Somewhere closer to where people live, and you can come/go as you please. I guess that's why replacing the airport with an...

In my opinion - scale/size of the park, range of the facilities (gardens, open grassland, forest, playgrounds, sports facilities etc) and location - something that Toronto lacks in the downtown at present. Something that both tourists and locals will travel to especially. Toronto Islands is too...
