It's hundreds of millions. This is to be expected especially given Covid.

Yes, the original Subway cars were notably shorter than the current stock. The OL stock will likely be similar in length to the G-Series,

They really aren't that loud, at least the CLRVs weren't. The noises have different characteristics. I'd argue a streetcar's wheel squeal, while not appealing, is more appealing than a subway wheel squeal. Only time will tell how the OL behaves along curves, but nothing a little flange grease...

This is not because of any limitations with the TR rolling stock, or the system that exists today. This is because of the terminal layout at Finch station. The crossover design, blind trip, the distance of the crossover from the terminus, and crew change limitations are what is preventing higher...

Half of STCs buses are moving to sheppard. I don't see a problem with terminating Sheppard there, especially if half the bus connections are there. Yes, its an extra transfer for those south of the 401 or those living at STC, but it is still a 2 km trek. It won't be a (comparatively) short...

Ontario line tech is just subway tech that runs on standard gauge and with smaller car lengths (increased turning radius). There is absolutely no need for such a change on Sheppard given that it's a straight shot. You can very easily elevate TTC rolling stock and just build the stations as 4-car...

Since when is a ride from Hamilton 2 hrs? The schedule says 1 hr 20 minutes, and that's a local trip. If I recall express trips did exist from Hamilton. The 25 does not serve the Kitchener line, it is a Milton line bus. It's also basically a student bus at this point. Most people that take...

Are you a civil engineer? Are you working on the project? TBMs could be justified for any number of reasons given the constraints of the project (it must be tunneled, it must serve Eglinton avenue, etc): severe utility conflicts, traffic/disruption considerations (especially at the 427)...

Depends on your station layout. Does your station make you climb up a set of stairs to get to the 48" platform height, or does it have ramps/elevators? It depends on the layout. But also consider that if I have a bad leg but can still get up some stairs, I'd much rather get up those set of...

Riders on the 36 and 60 have had their bus commute cut more than in half. It makes a huge difference even if it's not directly in Etobicoke.

One has to remember that 250 of the coaches will be over 40 years old by the time RER is ready, with ~600 or so cars left over. Remember, GO is still planning on running services up Richmond Hill and Milton, with expansions as well. There's also service to Kitchener, Bowmanville, Lincolnville...

The big difference is that all LRT lines are likely to be no faster than the other alternatives presented (including the existing express buses). I can support an Eglinton East extension because it will exist to promote density (See the iON). But the Sheppard East LRT or Malvern LRT? Just give...

What in god's name happened to this thread?

"Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Line 2 Bloor-Danforth, from Kipling Station to Kennedy Station, served more than 550,000 customers per weekday. Morning rush hour ridership on Line 2 reached over 23,000 passengers per hour, both eastbound from Spadina Station and westbound from Sherbourne Station...

1. Extending the subway 1 stop serves a completely different purpose from extending it all the way down Dundas through Mississauga 2. Because the only two lines that have the potential of TWAD service are nowhere near Dundas 3. Because not everyone in Mississauga or Etobicoke is going to Union...

The people living in Greektown would beg to differ.

No, it is not becoming too long. Line 2 is currently 26 km, and will be 34 if and when the SSE opens. For context, Line 1 is 39 km and will be 45 once the YNSE opens. Consider this: similar to line 1, line 2 really acts as 2 subway lines. People are usually traveling from the line's extents...

We got the Crosstown and Finch West LRT, as well as some work done on the Waterfront LRT (which will likely go ahead albeit later than expected). We're getting contracts signed. As much as I hate to admit it, that's a very good step forward.

No criteria have been released, but there's no way it'd be much more than this. Most rideshare/demand response pilots have been in areas where potential ridership is around 50-100 passengers per day. Anything above 200 doesn't make much sense when compared to services by hourly buses all day or...
