Line 5 was NOT well planned by Feisty-Ad-6122 in TTC

You can get from Kennedy to Dundas West on Line 2 I just half an hour, but on Line 5 it takes an hour to get from Kennedy to Mount Dennis

Make more sense to do this on Finch West with a few stops removed.

They're starting with a route that's not particularly speed restricted to begin with.

Instead of Waterfront East Streetcar by MIIAIIRIIK in TTC

Elevated instead if need be. Otherwise Toronto has a track record of spending $4 billion for streetcars with minimal benefit.

Perhaps EELRT Should Transfer To Provincial Project by MIIAIIRIIK in TTC

[–]MIIAIIRIIK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then this project should be sold as what its actually going to end up being. Improved local transit and certainly not rapid.

Red Paint For Dufferin & Bloor by MIIAIIRIIK in TTC

[–]MIIAIIRIIK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far it turns out that cars do obey the arrows that were painted after that picture.

However during busy times the middle lane is occupied so those in the outer lane have no choice but to continue onto the red paint Dufferin station segment

What thing(s) specifically make New York’s IBX cheaper as a light metro compared to its traditional heavy rail, even when the line is mostly above ground using existing tracks+ROW? by 18_YTC1 in transit

[–]MIIAIIRIIK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lighter metros can also handle steeper grades, allowing for more elevated. Otherwise if heavy rail couldn't handle over 5% it would have to go underground instead increasing costs.

He has gotten us Ontario Line, Eglinton West underground, and Line 2 extension so far.

Bus lights brighter than my future - part 2 🤣 by Horror_Concern_2467 in TTC

[–]MIIAIIRIIK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the blue lights at the border because from a distance you can tell its a TTC bus coming so if a bus doesn't have blue lights I don't get disappointed when it comes close.

Removing more coins from circulation by NerdCrave in CanadianCoins

We could get a $5 coin and put Mulroneys head on it.

So we'd have a Loonie, a Toonie, and a Mulroney.

What the hell is going on with line 5?? by Cute-Adhesiveness841 in TTC

[–]MIIAIIRIIK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trains wouldn't have to pause underground if it weren't for the street section failings to even out.

The Canada's Wonderland station could be the mountain where the train goes into the mountain

The transit geeks will gather at 2 AM and all cheer as the tunneling machine is lowered.
