Planning the extension for QQ east end just got made easier. Now to get TTC to give up the ghost of Union loop and the portal. Dave Toronto – July 17, 2008:...
... I agree with the portal, move it to a single point on bay, with a surface level junction, but how do you propose to connect to Union without the loop? As...
The JR East Yamanote line in Tokyo has two six door cars in each 11 car train that have seats that automatically fold up between 7Am and 10AM leaving space for...

Very strange where the rail went that was on Front and Church on July 8. No construction taking place as posted by TTC for the 503 and notices are still on...
1. they need fold up seats, as in Tokyo, London. 2. Lots of people on the TTC read standing up. ... De: drum118 <drum118@...> Objet: <Transit-Toronto>...
... Bay bus and convert the loop to PATH would be my answer. You'd save a ton of money as expanding the loop is going to be hugely expensive. The Bremner car...
