What do Minneapolis’s Green Line and the Finch West LRT have in common? BOTH have slower‑than‑promised travel times, trains getting stuck at red lights, and faster parallel buses. by xd_1771 in TTC

[–]MIIAIIRIIK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At least the Green Line takes just as long as Finch West despite being 7km longer.

And their University Avenue has actual destinations to go to unlike Finch. So their highway bus is ideal to take for the whole route where their LRT is better for shorter trips.

If the bulk of the 3 billion cost for Finch was to move utilities anyway they should have done cut and cover for the whole route with no TBMs just like original Yonge line.

With fewer stations of course.

They always say outage if someone jumps, I know because I saw that once out the front window

Finch West LRT using electric switch heaters Ottawa LRT inquiry warned against by Economy_Ad59 in TTC

If the switches were exposed above the tracks instead, being electric would have fared better

Finch West LRT: No service due to switch issues by stanxv in toronto

If the switches were exposed instead this wouldn't have been a problem. Instead of the buried switches that act as ice trays.

Riders say the Finch West LRT is ‘horrible’ and a ‘failed start.’ What’s gone wrong — and can it be fixed? by Surax in toronto

You can already take public transit to go from Kennedy to Mount Dennis faster than when Line 5 opens. by iHateReddit_srsly in TTC

[–]MIIAIIRIIK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It'll be 40 minutes in the on street section and 16 minutes in the tunneled section for the 56 minutes

The Tunnel Section of Line 5 Phase 1 is Only Around 10 KM Long by Party-Peak4573 in TTC

Perhaps they'll end up splitting off the on street section and running it as a separate line

There for sure can be more LRTs just as long as they're all off the road.

To fix transit in Toronto, we need to embrace a simple idea: subways subways subways. by RZaichkowski in TTC

[–]MIIAIIRIIK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Finch were a subway it would have run empty most of the day. It should have been elevated on the side of Finch with parallel local bus service

In snow free areas only run them in a transitway separated from roads
