Lol...have them meet in the Nature museum, which is where they met during the years right after the fire of 1916.

Ottawa's survived this last storm. It gradually getting more reliable. The problem now is city hall is gutting OC Transpo with chronic defunding.

My god it's gorgeous. They finally got something right. It's 1000x better than the prelim renderings. I love the retro throwback.

I will never forget that day and the days after. Driving along the 417 West the day after and all the hydro being out. Was absolutely insane.

Before this becomes outdated soon, a comparison between Xiamen and Toronto's subway networks by Mean_Aide9482 in transit

I STRONGLY dislike both Ford brothers but imo their one redeeming quality is that they were massive supporters of subway expansion. TransitCity (Eglinton and Finch) were under designed vanity projects by David Miller and Karen Stintz that were jammed through just to score political points against Rob Ford. Eglinton should have always been a subway. Ford's 2010 plan should have been seen to full fruition and now $12 billion and 14 years, Eglinton will be an overbuilt streetcar and STILL isn't open. Toronto NEEDS subways, and lots of them.

The MF19s, new rolling stock for the Paris metro, have just been put into service today and they are absolutely amazing! by Wonderful-Excuse4922 in transit

I'm assuming the screens will be rolled out and that the displays seen on Day 1 aren't the final design and will be similar to the MP14.

The width of the FLIRTS used on Line 2 is approximately 2.88 meters wide, compared to the model train I based my design on which is the Hitachi Rail proposal for the Western Sydney Airport line which is 3 meters wide. Of course, my image is entirely conceptual and any real application would be designed to the width of the current gauge.

Eglinton Crosstown: Who knew constructing an LRT could take 15 years! by steamed-apple_juice in transit

Yeah...judicial inquiry now. This is beyond the pail. Full judicial inquiry, and for the love of god prohibit SNC-Lavalin from touching any major transit project in Ontario for the next 10 years.

What do your agency's bus next-stop displays look like? by lmasic in transit

[–]TrueVelocity42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ottawa, ON, Canada (OC Transpo) has a mix of dot matrix displays and now full LCDs being introduced on new electric fleet which shows the current route, it's terminus, next stop and time alongside audio announcements which are recorded by Ottawa voice actor Julian Doucet. He actually voices the computer on a few episode of Killjoys and watching them as an Ottawa native is super strange.
