    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    They do ... which is why when I've got a lot of crap with me, I sit downstairs. Coach buses have terrible seating in general - and are absurdly high. It might make sense on inter-city routes with few stops, and people needing to put luggage underneath.

    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    That looks absurdly high. And presumably the traditional crap seating layout that GO uses on single-deckers.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | Metrolinx

    Traditionally it goes to organized-crime owned "clean" fill dump sites in rural areas outside of Toronto.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | Metrolinx

    Three tracks? Possibly with place for 4 tracks? What am I seeing?

    Dundas West/ Bloor Mobility Hub +interconnected hub network (Metrolinx)

    Looking through the April 2025 TTC report, it was the Dundas West second entrance was targeted for 2026. College is on schedule though! https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2025/ttc/bgrd/backgroundfile-254430.pdf

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    It could just be routine; I've seen a lot of this when there's been no proposed change of use. It might even be required these days if they are changing out the tanks. Looking at the MECP well records, they did a sampling program back in 2008...

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    Indeed it was; and they roughed some of it into Crossways when it was built when it was built, just after that; but without provisions for elevators. I think I linked to some documents earlier in the thread (or the Dundas West station thread), last decade. But I don't think the 1970s was...

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    The Bloor-Dundas connection WAS part of the original scope. Which David Miller has been heckling Metrolinx about, for years on Twitter.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | Metrolinx

    I have no predictions. But I'd hope that by the end of 2030, there won't be big visible construction and cranes everywhere.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | Metrolinx

    With it opening in the early 2030's, construction - certainly the digging the wholes in the ground stage - should be finished well before opening.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    It hasn't seemed anywhere near that dark when I've been there, but I haven't been there for a while. Do you find it looks like this now? Some of the stations with the older lighting seem a bit dim - but this doesn't have that pre-TYSSE lighting. This is more how I remember it.

    Dundas West/ Bloor Mobility Hub +interconnected hub network (Metrolinx)

    Has the date changed from the previous updates? I thought we'd heard 2027 a long time ago.

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    The Tories have been supporting big transit projects going to developer's front door for years. As have the Liberals. I day say that Trudeau was a bit further left and less pro-corporate. Look at all the backpeddling of green objectives that corporations weren't happy with.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | Metrolinx

    That wasn't TTC. Vaughan insisted, and pushed the issue to the point that Toronto had to back down. I think the planned name was simply Vaughan Centre, not Vaughan Megalopolis Centre.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Most of the injured were the dozens in the cars! And hundreds of damaged cars! Well that's all right then! Carry on! (yeah, that's a joke ... still need traffic controls of some kind)

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Doesn't matter. With hundreds of accidents there's a systemic issue. You reaction to this is 100% wrong, and a disgrace to Canadians. We aren't talking 1 fluke accident here.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Really - 140 accidents at one intersection (where we all know that cars coming off the Gardiner grossly exceed the 40 km/hr limit), and you are blaming the victim? Even considering the drivers over the tons of people around there is abominable. Safety is paramount.

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    I got a phone poll (as usual on my landline) a just now. From Forum Research. Something along the lines of: "With Nathan Erskine Smith's announcing his intention to resign as Beaches—East York MP, who would you vote for in a by-election: Jack Pennings of the Green Party Avi Lewis of the NDP...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Interesting. When I was a kid and doing organized (or unorganized) hikes, many of us tried to walk on the rails; I don't think anyone ever thought of this back then. (not on the mainline ... on rusty virtually abandoned very slow speed track).

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I'm not seeing that in your post or on the website. I'd think when they say "15-minute weekday and evening weekend service" they aren't referring to weekday service.
