High speed rail advocates in Canada are sponsoring a one-day symposium Jan. 31, 2009, in Kitchener, Ontario, to promote faster national rail passenger service....
Ah, thanks for the info. The building is quite close to the street and it would be easy to stand outside on Mississauga road and take photos of the buses when...
I wonder if TTC would reconsider implementing Steve Munro's proposal of moving the ALRVs to King St to free up more streetcars for frequent Queen St service. I...
Why?....Because I want it that way? Or should I say, "why not?" Actually, because buses often have to make way for cars and other traffic which results in...
By law though, traffic has to yield to buses pulling back into the moving lane of traffic, say from the curb lane for instance. ... From: Moaz Ahmad...
... from the curb lane for instance. And 90% of motorists don't obey that law. However most motorists obey the stop-behind- streetcar-doors law, which is why...
This has nothing to do with toronto transit, and the CP accident was before Christmas - not in the same week as the CN derailment yesterday. ... From: Mark...
Okay, I'm back from my travels to Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota when contact with the Internet was intermittent, and I notice that some of you have gotten a...
It seems to me that Spadina (510) has way too many streetcars running on it. They come like a minute apart. I mean, love frequent service like the next guy,...
The problem with Spadina is not ultra-frequent service, but that the cars are always bunched up. And I'm not talking a car heading to Union immediately...
I see Boston's Red Line is massively reducing seat count on some cars to boost capacity. Maybe we should do this on some of the TTC fleet, such as reducing...

A very good point to consider. Until we get accessible LRVs, there should be an available bus alternative on the heavily used streetcar routes. Cheers, moaz ...
They had an option for 26 locos available on the first order. It lapsed in May. A new order was placed in July for 20 locos, presumably of the same spec as the...
This is *not* going to make me any friends, however... Can the TTC *really* justify a move that will more than likely cost more than it brings in, just to...
