Ok, I am reopening this thread. But if @micheal_can derails this (or any other) thread again, he can take another all-expenses paid vacation from Urban Toronto.

Seriously? It's not as if there are a lot of condos going up in the area too. I'm a little surprised it's not getting the Hyatt branding anymore. I can't say the Toor name does anything for me.

Looks like this thread is derailed again. Closing it down for 24 hours.

No, Sarnia does not need a university. Lambton College has so much trouble attracting students in the area that they’re one of the most dependent on international students with Toronto private college partnerships. Anyway, Chatham is more aligned with Windsor and London than it is with Sarnia.

The 400 will not get a higher speed limit between Barrie and Toronto for years to come, because of all the construction along the corridor. I would agree with the 401 between Woodstock and Kitchener (Homer Watson), as that is built to the latest standards and has very few exits. Highway 400...

I get it too – a phase in with premium parking spaces (replacing/augmenting the reserved spots) would be a good place to start.

Not a bad idea, or just require users to pay via app or machine by inputting their license plate. It’d be simpler than a gate, especially when you can easily enforce it with an enforcement officer in a plate-reading car. They only get out to ticket or check a vehicle without a front plate who...

Not in the counter peak direction

But counter-peak service (to/from Bramalea) is also only every hour too.

It’s not, though. It’s only weekday midday and evening. Not weekends, not during peak hours.

Route 41 is quite the downgrade from the 30-minute service on the old Bolton bus. I know BT still has a bus and driver shortage, but still.

I took that Route 21 between Milton and Oakville a few times. The transfer to the Highway 407 bus services at Trafalgar Road Park & Ride was a busy stop. The new schedule doesn't help with that.

With the Gardiner down to two lanes by the CNE grounds for the next three years, I’m not sure if this was a good idea. Edit: there's a new Route 22 between Milton and Oakville, weekdays only, with a limited schedule...

Even by European standards, you’ll probably have a train every hour between Toronto and Kitchener. It would probably make fewer stops and be a shorter ride, but it’s not as if this is a local transit service.

It’s already a better route than the old Bolton Bus Caledon ran (contracted to Voyago), as it’s not a loop, and it will offer free transfers on a BT fare, which Caledon did not. Brampton too can only operate what Caledon tells them to, as it’s a contract route.

Drivers are increasingly ungovernable. I drive on occasion and I’m seeing more “Pittsburgh lefts” where a driver will rush the green light to make a left turn before oncoming traffic is able to clear the intersection. Motorists are becoming increasingly aggressive and callous on Toronto...

The JR line between Nara and Kyoto has only one mainline track (and passing sidings) and it has local and express service. You only need more than one track per direction at places where trains running in the same direction need to pass each other. The Davenport Diamond viaduct is not one of...

You’ll notice the same along many sections of the York Region “Rapidways”

For one thing, the flooding in the Lower Don is being mitigated as we type. That’s not going to be as much of an issue in the future. As for Via HF/SR, I would not be shocked if they took a route from the CP Havelock Sub down to a new connection to the GO Uxbridge Sub in Agincourt. CP is going...

In the 1990s, it was at the McDonalds in Parry Sound. In the last years of Greyhound, it was at the Lick’s at Seguin Trail just south of Parry Sound.
