York is already the recipient of a massive public benefit. Many other employers and institutions would be glad of it rather than trying to force even more transfers.
This is such a shame. At this rate, there will not be a substantial reduction in the number of buses on the York U campus...one of the points of the subway station was to stop having dozens of diesel buses per hour making noise and spewing exhaust into the air, and to make the campus more pedestrian friendly. Sad to see that dream gone.
The dream isn't gone. The dream was not up keep buses off the huge, road-encircled campus. It was to keep them out of the CENTRE of campus, particularly that loop in front of Vari Hall. There will be fewer buses overall and none in that area AFAIK.

I though the goal was to get the regional buses like Viva, YRT, Zum and Go transit off of campus because they linger for longer periods of time then the TTC buses do, thus they take up space on the roadways. By having them pull into a station off of Campus like Pioneer Village (i still say it should be Steals West but I'm not a city councilor so I have no say in the names of stations) then it eliminates having uses they stay more then 5 minutes.I agree that keeping buses off of the campus altogether wasn't the goal, but it was certainly the dream.

There's a reason why the TTC map says "Map not to scale."The Newest TTC Map: On Paper vs. Reality

Both stations were open all day Downsview park was little bit harder to get to as the only way to it was by shuttle bus from York University station. I did see a few pole that came by other bus routes and walked/ ran across the street when traffic was light. Alos Downsview park wasn't set up in an easy way to tour as York University ws as for Downsview park you had to exit it vi one of the emergency exit arthur the the main entrance. However they did have one of the mechanical rooms at Downsview open and there was a TTC person ther talking about the equipment in it. They also had poel from Tconnect at each of the stations showing off the WIFI / Cellular phone equipment they have installed also both satins had their WIFI connected.The turn out was very small for Downsview Park compare to York. Then they were only open an hour or so.
that is insane. Eglinton west has been that for how long now? This is crazy and insane. How the TTC allows Metrolinx to do this is really crazyThe station will be completely changing to Cedarvale on both lines 1 and 5.
I can't believe they thinker with the eglinton west station name, downsview name change and then I gotta see the names, pioneer village, vaughan metropolitian centre, and highway 407 sttaionPerhaps it could say "The Station Formerly Known As Downsview"
this is unreal how crosslinx could think thatThat's what got said at the last TTC board meeting in April they met about a year ago when they held a joint meeting and haven't had one since. One of the counselors brought up scheduling more of them because he had herd from sombay that the company crossinx was looking to operate the crosstown line even though he knew that it was already established that the TTC would be responsible for it.
Someone thinks they can do it cheaper than the TTC, accept transfers from the TTC and expect the TTC to subsidize them? Not happening in nine hells.this is unreal how crosslinx could think that
