It should be either:

-ICTS
-Monorail
-APM/AGT

All elevated/no underground

Then we can talk

I also presume that but I also presumed we’d see 70 in R&T and Waterloo Park, and we don’t (40 in some cases)

So I’d like to hear officially not just assumptions

I’d also like to know how the costing was done to the dollar, with no deign

Will the Fairway/Traynor upgrade permit full, unrestricted 70 km/h speeds along that stretch? (Currently trains have to drop to 20 km/h at the crossing)

Waterloo eventually ended up being the launch customer for FLEXITY Freedom, and had to source and implement their own ATP system.

Bombardier’s hands were entirely tied and the delay was entirely at the hands of Rob Ford and Metrolinx.

Not true.

ML tried to squirm out of the 204 LRV order with BBD because Rob Ford cancelled Transit City. They only needed 76 for Crosstown.

ML dragged their feet on everything related to the LRV order in order to try and get out of it, including not spec’ing the ATP equipment.

At what point will Toronto people just cave and drive an hour west and take a look at how to actually build an operate light rail?

Like… can they just not conceive that someone else figured it out?

Ya love to see it! πŸ₯° #FLEXITY

lol everyone keeps telling me β€œno they’re wrong” but literally this has been up for weeks and now GO is officially saying they’re cancelled

GO Transit just confirmed they’ve all been cancelled except one inbound trip

Imagine if Toronto could figure out how we do in Waterloo

I love how they think it’s *your* job to contact the city πŸ™„

I refuse to believe it GO is perfect and I love them

29.12.2025 16:09 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

It’s GO Transit, a formal document and it is not possible for me to accept there could be an error

29.12.2025 15:12 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

So they literally quietly deleted this after a month.

Why is nobody going nuclear about this?

Let's switch tracks here for a bit - since I've been showing you some of the trains I've seen recently in the US, allow me to show you something else also built in North America, however, these are from Canada! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ πŸ‘€

Well, I’d sure hope so

How can we find out?

19.12.2025 15:22 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Well yes but I also can’t fathom why anyone would want the country to be more jam packed/busier/crowded

Would happily trade that for not being crowded and loud everywhere constantly with endless traffic and everyone being pissed off and unhappy

18.12.2025 18:56 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

It blows my mind anyone wants our population to increase.

If anything, I wish things were like 50% less crowded at a bare *minimum*. You can’t go anywhere now without it just being so jammed and busy and loud and I hate it

I feel like Canada should have a population around 15-20M max

But how can this suddenly have funding allocated to the dollar, when literally nobody knows what it is?

This implies a design is already done - so why isn’t that public?

18.12.2025 17:56 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, it’s been like that for several years (when they re-did the plaza with the ducks-for-arms statue and the angry-font curved red wall along the road).
