To add to this, I want to point out that when I visited NYC back in 2022, I virtually never sat down on the subway unless my legs were really tired. Simply put, it was genuinely painful to sit on for longer periods of time, and I would sometimes leave the train with jelly legs because of the...

Watched it, there's a lot that is objectionable. David Miller spent a lot of time talking about how Transit City was based off "real data" and wasn't based off political boundaries. Yes, because somehow real data led to the conclusion that the best way to turn Toronto into a car-free city, is...

Given David Miller's twitter antics before he quit, I'm scared to watch this.

My memory is failing me on this (if this was always like this, then I somehow completely ignored it this whole time), but its worth noting that that half of the concourse mostly just exists for a future 407 Transitway connection. Its likely that the escalator is only meant to be put in when...

There are actually several examples throughout York Region, namely in places where they need dedicated bus light cycles. There's also one in Barrie right outside Allandale Waterfront

This implies that downsizing something like the B line to BRT would necessarily allow for all other lines to be immediately built. In general, priority should mainly be focused on serving core areas first, and worrying about outlying areas like Waterdown later. By that view, lines like the L...

The only reason why Trudeau resigning worked was because they managed to find a complete outsider to take the reigns. Had they chosen someone like Freeland to be leader, there's no chance they would've won. This was not a luxury that the OLP would've had access to back in 2018. This is baseless...

And we're spending how much on this?

"Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!" "Sorry Mom, the mob has spoken!"

Great, can we get rid of Clearview ADA as well or is that too hard?

Considering that we're talking about a completely conceptual project, where there's plenty of room to discuss alternate/more effective alignments, I don't think its entirely off topic to explore where a new underground highway could make more sense compared to directly under the 401.

Maybe getting into school yes, but once you get into school it very much becomes a game of "Cs get degrees". Depending on the Stream or the Course, you can often find people simply focusing on not failing the course (Insert Fluid Mechanics PTSD).

Well I can ask the same thing regarding sharing the Belleville Sub for the Bowmanville extension can't I? What incentive does CP have to share the section of the Belleville Sub between the GM Spur and Bowmanville to GO? The answer seems to be that in their eyes, as long as Metrolinx is willing...

Tbh, unless you use the subway extension as an excuse to redevelop the Wonderland Parking lots, I don't see how it would be reasonable to extend the subway to serve a seasonal destination. Maybe you could argue that Cortellucci Hospital could be a counterbalance destination to warrant an...

Its interesting to write this when the section of Viva Blue that the subway is replacing runs every 7m all day (and that's just if you include Viva Blue, not including the half dozen other routes that share that corridor, which in practice looks more like 3-4m headways midday). I can agree that...

But Milton and Sarnia are 2 completely different towns that are 2.5 hours apart. We're not talking about 2 isolated towns, we're talking about a continuous and integrated metro area, where the line between 1 municipality and another is usually completely arbitrary. Tell me, where is the...

Oh I absolutely agree that the trust in Metrolinx' ability to execute these projects is at an all time low. I just don't see that it has affected Ford's or anyone's campaigning priorities - nowhere near enough to imply top down sabotage.

I'm really not sure how you can reach this conclusion when the election felt like every party trying to one up each other on transit proposals. The NDP promises all day GO to Niagara? The PCs announce the signing of the contract for Grimsby GO like the next day. Liberals announce they want to...

Afaik its a lot more than that now. Just construction/electrification alone is like 5/6 separate contracts now, effectively 1 per line.

If not having a completely unhealthy doomerist attitude where I see any medium sized setback as world ending counts as "apologia", then I have no issue carrying that term. Listen I'm honestly disappointed like the rest of us that GO Expansion will not live up to the potential that it might've...
