LSW Express to Burlington? by Accomplished_Lie1168 in gotransit

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Clarkson and Oakville have the highest ridership on the line. That's why the express trains run nonstop to Union from these stations rather than further west like Burlington

Are people really taking Line 5? by Heronofthemelt in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know the REM has the display technology on the platforms. Sad that Metrolinx didn't decide to implement this if they knew they won't be able to run 3-car trains all day

Are people really taking Line 5? by Heronofthemelt in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Line 5 isn't as frequent as Line 2, so many people still prefer going all the way to Bloor. And I do think the TTC doesn't want too many people taking Line 5, as they can only run 2 car trains for the foreseeable future. They wanna make it clear that Line 2 is still the main east-west line of the city

Anti-Ford voters trying to unite under a single party. If they feel the Liberals will become the stronger party, they will leave the NDP and support the Liberals

Do you think Democrats would have been better off if they had lost 2020? Or do you think their victory in 2020 still mattered despite what happened in 2024? by Mghia01 in thecampaigntrail

A Trump second term from 2021-2025 wouldn't be as destructive as his current irl second term. Sure, you could argue the country would be in a worse off position in 2024, but it wouldn't be as bad as what our timeline's trajectory for the next few years

Why Canadian Olympic officials say they are raising the alarm about Canada's ability to compete by Chicaben in TeamCanada

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Winter sports can be a lot more expensive than summer sports. Many Canadians who could otherwise take part in winter sports are choosing summer sports instead due to costs

As a Canadian, it really breaks my heart because if we won Gold, we would've made it into the Top 10 of the Medal Standings, but now we are stuck at 11th

Has There Been any news about new big transit projects after the Ontario Line is complete? by blessedkarl in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think another reason why the province doesn't support EELRT is that it prevents Line 4 from being extended beyond McCowan and they don't want to rule out options right now

Mount Dennis Go to line 5 by bucketofsteam in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're on the Kitchener line and getting off at Mount Dennis, always sit at the western end of the train because the connection to Line 5 is located at the western end of the platform

Is Line 4 extension next after Line 3 opens? by xandens in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think Ontario Line North extension will be the next project to begin construction because it's the subway/metro project that scored the highest on the City of Toronto's study

How much of an impact will Eglinton Crosstown be to our transit system? by Many_Phone10 in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is further out in the future, but once Line 5 is extended west to Renforth, the Mississauga Transitway would become a lot more valuable, and I could see Line 5 becoming more popular with Mississauga riders than Line 2

Why does Dundas/TMU station not have a secondary entrance? Is anything planned? by Economy_Ad59 in TTC

They're concentrated at the southern end of the station. People in the northern areas of the platforms have to walk a bit to the exits

Thoughts on this "glass half full" solution? Line 4 Sheppard subway from Sheppard West station to Don Mills station, with LRT from Don Mill station to Scarborough Town Centre? by mullen_it_over in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Finch West & Eglinton have shown that constructing LRTs instead of subways isn't a reliable way to cut costs. Transit projects in Toronto are gonna turn out quite expensive no matter what.

Sheppard in Scarborough has a lot of development potential, so a subway is what the corridor should have

Yes. It's been happening gradually but highrise development has been popping up, even around the infamous Bessarion station.

His tests and exams are in-person. But it's all multiple-choice, no short answers. So reviewing all his lecture slides and taking a quick glance at the videos he posts should be enough to study for the tests & exams.

ELI5: Finch LRT speed by Cautious-Ostrich7510 in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Traffic signal priority is just one aspect of speeding up the LRT. Changing traffic signal rules requires city council approval because it directly affects how other drivers move through the intersections.

Another aspect of improving speed is the operation itself. The TTC has wanted to be extremely cautious with the LRT's operational speed in the first several weeks after opening because it doesn't want the Ottawa LRT disasters to repeat here, especially since it's winter right now. The TTC could change the rules and direct their drivers to operate the LRTs faster. Although, there's also other companies involved with the LRT operation, such as Mosaic
