@WBMetro62 @BShrigley @RM_Transit Good to know. I will vote for the party that promises to accelerate the electrification timeline.

@ChefVtuber @BShrigley @RM_Transit There’s still plans to electrify the other lines (besides Milton and Richmond Hill), but the timeline has just been significantly expanded
English
Overheard from someone getting off the GO train at Kennedy for the first time "I am never taking the subway again"
English
@BShrigley @RM_Transit I heard that only the lakeshore lines will be electrified now.
English
@ChefVtuber @RM_Transit Hopefully they'll start at some point, although I don't think Stouffville will be top of the list.
English
I avoid public transportation at all costs. It’s disgusting and no one likes feeling like a foreigner in their own country.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: When Canada's next Census of Population will be released people will be shocked. The transformation of Canada is car ahead than what people think.

@HeronKhalil @RM_Transit They could also utilize the bus way being built along the former SRT corridor and extend it to Sheppard to create a bus loop in east-central Scarborough. This provides coverage along Sheppard since line 4 would be rerouted south to STC.
English
@RM_Transit Hear me out
Sheppard east to STC and UTSC
Less rail than EELRT
Faster travel times to UTSC
Same travel times on eglinton east
Faster to get to the subway from malvern
Can add bus lanes to malvern and upgrade eglinton RapidTO and do more RapidTO
Way more bang for your buck
English
Toronto is a city which says it wants people to take transit but still has the Eglinton East LRT as a top priority (an expensive railification of buses that will at best marginally improve service) while the Yonge Line has been bursting at the seams for decades.

@PlasticWig @MTA Alon Levy has discussed connecting NJ transit to connect with LIRR Atlantic Branch in Brooklyn.
English
@MTA We need a PATH train to Brooklyn so we don't have to go through Manhattan.
English
Interested in the future of the Interborough Express (IBX)? Join us at one of our interactive in-person workshops about the proposed light rail connection between Brooklyn and Queens.
Visit the project website for upcoming workshop dates and locations: mta.info/IBX

@_KennyUong_ Maybe a new Federal administration will make it a priority...

Such a bummer that the proposed PATH train extension to Newark Liberty International Airport got shelved!
Newark Liberty International Airport@EWRairport
Taking the train to Newark Liberty? The @PANYNJ is building a whole new AirTrain Newark. Buses will replace service to and from Airport Train Station on weekdays from 5am to 3pm from maintain worker safety. Please budget extra travel time and visit NewarkAirport.com for the most up-to-date service information. Thank you for your patience as we deliver #ANewEWR!

@TheSeanTaylor1 @Cappy_Nate Rochester, then NYC. Lol

Some say a HSR viaduct would ruin Toronto's skyline.
I think it looks dope. City of the future.
English
@RM_Transit Suddenly everyone is a high speed train expert on Twitter/X, including the mortgage guy.
English
@moretransitso For the east end of line 4, I propose this alignment (line 4 Magenta line, light green is line 2, Orange is Eglinton, purple are midtown GO lines).
English
@moretransitso I like the idea. I think the alignment should follow RM transit's suggested route. I would add a branch to serve Malvern/Toronto Zoo directly that would connect to the 407 regional rail line there.
English
We are planning on extending the Sheppard Subway, and there is an opportunity to think bigger extend the line cheap and efficiently to Toronto's largest development. While the site is currently empty and before housing is built. Read our new article:

@KarenFactsLover @ronmortgageguy Milton GO line should also be rerouted to connect directly with Square One.
English
@ronmortgageguy Just look at the shitty fucking LRT we have running on Hurontario now... complete waste of money!!!
English
High Speed Rail Is An Unbelievable Waste Of Money: It Makes No Sense In Canada
$90 To $175 BILLION for nothing
I know some people love High Speed Trains
In Europe & Asia everyone who uses them thinks: Fantastic! Canada needs these
But No: Not Sensible here
It's Math

English
@KarenFactsLover @ronmortgageguy The LRT on Hurontario should have been a fully grade separated automated metro like the Skytrain in Vancouver. The LRT also isn't built yet.
English
@moretransitso They need to ensure that all the GO lines (including the Milton line) are electrified. The Milton line could be rebuilt as a separate automated light metro line connecting to Square One.
English
As part of today's announcement, the province and feds will be working together to further explore GO 2.0.
English
@RM_Transit Roads are shared, not dedicated to highspeed trains. Trains have schedules. A problem on the track stops all traffic. If you analyze trains it's clear they are a crap expensive alternative. That's why the existing rail network gets so little use
English
Cars require . . . vision, highways and roads (dedicated row), don't provide a luggage service, and require you to park at both ends and pay for it.
Jesse Parker@GoodAtBingo
@RM_Transit Trains suck because they require a dedicated right of way, cost more for families who can take 1 car, are hard to use unless you're able-bodied, hard with luggage, and require connections at both ends. Trains suck and that's why we don't have many
English
@AlbertaLeonidas @dubsndoo It's never been tried in Canada. The population density of the Quebec City - Toronto corridor is dense enough to support HSR. Australia is expected to start building HSR in 2028, and their population density/distribution is similar to Canada's.
English
@dubsndoo population density and economics show it can't work here
English
Perhaps you could show me on a map where they have high speed rail in America? They’ve been fighting to build one in California (population 40 million, the size of Canada), but cost estimates have risen from $45 billion to $135 billion, and it’s not even close to being built.
Reece Martin@RM_Transit
Says a lot about the CPC that their MPs think infrastructure that Korea, Germany, France, the UK, the US, Turkey, Japan, China, etc. etc. have all managed to to deliver is as likely as "flying cars". Of course their plan is just to cancel, not to actually build something.
