@VincentBaik @Nasdad_TO I’m sad the province didn’t save it when they saved the line up to Barrie

@Nasdad_TO Ludicrous that CN was allowed to abandon that track

Imagine the Ontario Northlander getting the same GO Expansion treatment between Toronto and North Bay. It could mean two-way 2-hourly service, with new development around the stations. Over time, turn the line into a dedicated high-average-speed corridor. This would connect communities better, cut highway traffic on the 400, and support tourism and growth in Muskoka and the Near North. Building on the current Northlander revival planned for 2026. What do you think?

@ShanktheTanks @S95407Scot yo u cant argue with scott hes dumb as shit 💀

@S95407Scot If I'm full of shit, then you're every sewer in the world combined. Explain how we Aussies avoid the slow tram bullshit that plagues Toronto? How we avoid their unreliable switches. Their low frequency slow arse diesel commuter trains? Trams slower than jogging?

New: Metrolinx's plan to run more frequent, shorter GO trains is now “unlikely to materialize” after it fired the European partners who planned to make it happen, according to a draft of the agency's internal fleet strategy. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/municipal…

@admbeaumont Canada is gonna be so stacked by the next olympics it’s not funny This was a perfect storm timing for the US, their best period of good talent all at once. Canada’s young bright stars include celeb, bedard, schaeffer, mckenna, dupont. the us has no young grade a guys like that.

Man, I’ve had a lot of mixed feelings about Dangle over the years, but you gotta fucking respect this. Speaking the truth when so many reporters are bending over with excuses, flimsy nuance, and pleasantries. Stand your fucking ground.

@OldTakesExposed leafs legend

@jen_keesmaat the crosstown will suffer from its own success, a planning failure of its own.

The goal is everywhere-to-everywhere transit: a network, not isolated lines, so it’s possible to get from anywhere to anywhere with a single transfer. Progress has been painfully slow, but the truth is we are finally back to building the right system. The opening of the Crosstown reflects a generational shift away from politically driven, disconnected projects (the bizarre connection to Vaughan, the Sheppard 'stump') and toward transit planning grounded in careful analysis, network logic, and the creation of a true everywhere-to-everywhere network.* Despite a deeply bungled provincial delivery (yes to a Public Inquiry), this new line advances the council-approved @CityPlanTO Transit Network Plan. The Ontario Line, our second key priority and now under construction, is a core element of that plan, with Waterfront East LRT and Eglinton East LRT following as the necessary next steps in building out the network. There’s a long way to go, but we are finally moving in the right direction. * There are caveats of course but this is largely true.

@RTNToronto loser comment section absolutely no happiness in life just staright misery

#VIDEO: Line 5 Eglinton opened up to the public today and here’s the view from Mount Dennis to Keelesdale 👀

@CHurls13 If the leafs couldve gone up the metro they wouldve made it to the ecf many of the years this isn’t a bad thing instead we kept getting boston tbl and fla man now we suck

@RileyShouldice @313Hockey @jd_pangtong @Allabyb Vladdy Paddy might’ve been born yesterday I fear

@313Hockey @jd_pangtong @Allabyb bro this thread is not real 💀

🚨 TRADE RUMOR BREAKDOWN - Travis Hamonic ➡️ Colorado Avalanche? The Cost: Cale Makar. Here is why Chris McFarland might actually pull the trigger on this: Hamonic is cost-controlled ($1M). Colorado needs depth NOW. Makar is a high price, but quality costs quality.

@AlexanderGlista what a shame that normal people can’t take a VIA train that takes the CP route. that Calgary Banff rocky mountains stretch has to be insane

You hate to see others living your dreams

@CanadianPolling saddam hussein hiding spot

Amazing

@magog45 @MarkJCarney You need to start somewhere. This project will almost certainly segway into a new phase which will connect Calgary and Edmonton, and Toronto with Windsor.

@MarkJCarney Talk about making a move to further alienate the west, the focus of high speed rail has to be about bringing the whole country together.

We’re going to build a high-speed rail network that will connect millions of Canadians, build our economy, and create thousands of high-paying careers.

@vjamesricci @MarkJCarney politics unfortunately. quebec is where elections are won, and if they build Windsor to Toronto that gives all of PQ to the bloc. that and the federal government has a mandate to build intraprovincal travel, so this is kind of required.

@CanadianPolling I don’t think it’s being built fast enough but HSR takes time to plan and build. Because Canada kind of sucks it’ll come late and over budget, but EAs, land acquisition and the like are not easy. Every expropriation will see people fighting tooth and nail. It’s hard.

Lmfao bro Start building it NOW

@MarkJCarney This discount immediately after one of VIA’s biggest operational failures lol lets fix VIA. Alto isn’t goot enouhh and won’t come soon enough.

A Canada Strong Pass reminder for students travelling home this holiday season: use code CANADA1824 for discounted fares on VIA Rail.

@jim_macgla2024 @MarcNixon24 ah yes the great european 900 km/h trains

@MarcNixon24 What a fucking joke... start in 2030? 300km/hr... europe have trains that go 3x faster and have been operating for decades... 🤡

The Liberals just announced Phase 1 of high-speed rail. Not Toronto to Montreal the corridor that actually matters. They chose Ottawa to Montreal instead. How convenient. Build it where politicians live, not where Canadians commute.

@WhatUpBash @EricDLombardi the route will be nowhere near Kingston. Peterborough gets a stop because it’ll be on the way.

@EricDLombardi doing peterborough? and not Kingston?

Why is there a stop in Laval?

@RSinKC_51 @soIoucity and then edmonton as always wiped the floor with dallas and move on to face florida who threepeat exciting

@soIoucity They will lose to Dallas in the 2nd round. As is tradition.

this team is going to get like 120 points then lose in the first round in 6

@GSawision @observinthecity bro what are you talking about lmao

@observinthecity ROFLMAO in the end the NDP will cheer that the NDP fixed the problem the NDP created in the first place and voters will again go through the same life cycle of re-electing idiots

Luckily, Chow said today that she is bringing forward a motion for removing speed caps, and increasing service frequency along with signal priority. I hope that this overrides the current target for the TTC, which seems to be *check notes* 14 MINUTES slower than the BUS.

@ttcdoors @CamGuthrie @Metrolinx your persistence and advocacy on every transit related post is awesome lol keep it up though I do still stand by the fact tha at least for GO, I’d rather the frequencies be high enough that screen doors are an absolute necessity

@CamGuthrie @Metrolinx Imagine how much better it would be if those platforms were heated and had platform doors to keep everyone safe…

Took @Metrolinx GO train 🚆 this morning to Toronto. It really is the best way to get here from Guelph. Jumped on at 6:58am, arrived at 8:15am. Not too shabby. No parking issues, no wasting gas. Got here faster than if I had driven for sure. It’s the way to go. Pun intended. 😉

@BenFromToronto @romieent @integrity_to @shelleycarroll yeah lmao I don’t understand how peopem are not outraged about traffic throughput when one lane is parking but the second the parking is removed traffic gets worse. and complaining about bloor of all streets is hilarious when line 2 exists.

In June 2015 several experts - including a UofT study - warned that demolishing the eastern link of the Gardiner would only further exacerbate congestion and cut off large portions of the east end from the downtown core and beyond. @shelleycarroll was one of the most vocal proponents of demolishing it. In the end, the decision was to retain the connection to the DVP but demolish the Lakeshore link. The sole vote against the demolition was Rob Ford. What do you think? Was this a good idea? 🤔
