I've heard quite the opposite, that it's the tenants who get most sympathy and legal protection, to the point where homeowners are not allowed to evict them even when it's actually justified/necessary (i.e. tenants invited all their "family members" to move in without the owner's permission, or...

Perhaps asking them to temporarily move out and live somewhere else (paid for by ML), and invite them to move back in once the work is complete and it's confirmed safe (no structural damage)?

Don't even think I've ever been inside a cab ever since downloading the Uber app. Of course, ideally I'd rather do neither, but bike whenever possible.

^I knew you were gonna give an example like that (see also: Chinatown, Little Italy, etc), but those are at least immediately obvious. Vaughan on the other hand, being in Toronto's backyard, has more potential for confusion.

Because, out of all the names they could've chosen, naming a street after a region it doesn't even connect to (not even close) seems almost intentionally misleading (Markham rd. is also a rather odd choice to me, but at least it does go to Markham... as do all other major north/south streets...

Yeah, the fact that a street called "Vaughan" and a neighborhood called "York" exist nowhere near the real Vaughan in York region is just... smh.

I'm merely repeating the same sarcastic question someone else asked me a few pages back. And it sure seems like the Hawkers are consistently the only subway equipment to not be picked. Well, I can't count the number of times over the years whenever anyone brought up the idea of saving them, it...

No, just to save making an extra post (I assume you'd get the notification anyway, unless this forum doesn't work the way it does on cptdb). Sure it could, but when that happened, were the subway cars with narrow doors always 5–10 mins behind the train in front of them, with the next train with...

I could say the same. Doesn't necessarily make it more worth saving than a Hawker either. Are you and others here related to the T1s and/or would be equally upset if they don't get saved as I am about the H5s? If the historical community and/or the TTC/HCRR won't save a Hawker for whatever...

And what difference does it make if more people can enter/leave at once (and that must be a very rough approximation, as people are not all exactly the same size), if they had to wait more than 5 mins for their train to show up anyway? The longer the headway, the more crowded it would be and the...

I know, but they're still in storage, possibly awaiting refurbishment for a possible future subway extension, and sometimes come out on special occasions, so I guess they intend to keep a few around as a historical fleet.

Why? There's nothing special about them (unless you mean the "T1s" in Ankara ;)). So are you planning to save a T1 yourself? Or you won't have to, because the TTC/HCRR will have no problem doing it themselves without even being asked to?

No subway cars left to save, period. I'd rather they save 5707 or one of the H4 work cars instead (there are streetcar work cars saved). Looks like the feds are finally coming to their senses, so hopefully the T1s will be gone within the next 10 years.

I doubt the difference is at all significant, as long as there are no headway gaps (which 99.9% of the time had nothing to do with door width) it doesn't even matter. I'm sure it's not much of an issue even with more vs. fewer doors per train, otherwise the 75-footers in New York would cause...

They are the exact same size (width) as all previous trains used on lines 1, 2 & 4, except the open gangways. I don't think running smaller trains like those on the OL or IRT would make line 1 any better. They are slower compared to the T1s and H5s that used to run on line 1, often resulting in...

Also keep in mind that with the slower TRs and longer travel times, the only way to reduce headways with ATC is by running more trains on the line.

It's not that I have no interest in doing the same, it's that I have no ability to. But that's not the point, the point is I shouldn't have to, or be expected to. Just like SRT foamers can sit back and do nothing while their SRT cars are being handed to them on a silver platter. If you have...

Sure, the same way you and others are related to the G-cars. They may not have smelled like moisture, but I hope you enjoyed inhaling all the carcinogenic brake dust;) You travel to Czechoslovakia like at least once a year, so probably whenever you feel like it. But what difference does that...

Well, advocating that they save everything else (least of all the very things that replaced them and sent them to scrap) is not gonna right that wrong, is it? Quite the opposite actually. Any future generations for whom it would be a "disservice" to not save anything that came later would just...

I couldn't care less if it's spiteful, it's the only fair thing to do now, there is NOTHING more spiteful and more of a disservice than turning around and saving everything else that came afterwards, none of which is in ANY way more special and worthy of saving than those cars that weren't...
