It is also the only airport train station in Australia without a surcharge (like Sydney and Brisbane have).

Why didn’t they go with a standard tramway protection system like this (which actually detects obstacles like humans and vehicles on the track) from @alstom.bsky.social?
Also, don’t have unnecessary speed restrictions! Your network shouldn’t depend on rule stretching and breaking to run efficiently!
National security lanes (for use by military, emergency services, and transit).
I really think the underground section at Don Valley/ Science Centre was an afterthought. This section with only one at grade stop located in the middle of the road screams that when there is no reason it wasn’t on the south side (unless there was some fear of touching the river valley on the south)
*segment of guideway, not junction. this singular intersection is bookended by tunnel portals on either end, so no traffic interaction ever needed to happen if it were designed properly
That’s a pretty bad bus stop. Barely a concrete pad and no sidewalk let alone bench or shelter.
😭 I want more skiing. It’s not even subzero around Collingwood or Singhampton.
Yeah, I know. It’s interesting that we kind of do the opposite in North America. Free to take a bike on the trains (off-peak) but charge for secure bike storage.
Toronto had a parking enforcement officer who issued millions of dollars in fines individually in a year. In five years, he had personally issued almost $4million in fines.

And extra time means you can do night school, a second job, or just more you time. All of which helps your career and income (building skills, performing better at work, etc).
Why is there a door on the left side?
Dedicated bus lanes for faster and more reliable trips is going to do far more for the residents of that area than free buses caught in traffic.
Free public transport is generally a waste of money (unless you have absolutely perfect public transport frequency, span, speed, reliability).
TTC does not allow e-bikes during winter. Metrolinx requires e-bikes to have Canadian or ULC certified batteries, special constables will fine/remove you if don’t. Transport for NSW doesn’t allow self-modified e-bikes (actually the state bans any non-EN battery standard e-bikes on all roads too).
Bike storage under 24 hours is free with a public transport fare card (small fee over 24 hours) — basically there are fare gates controlling entry/exit.
Actually, NS charges a fee for carrying bikes on trains at any time, even off-peak you need to buy a “bike ticket” plus your own human fare.
I checked my copy of the 2022 Streetcar Rule Book (my employer has an electronic copy because of a project). There are a lot of speed restrictions. For intersections, pedestrian crossings, switches, even passing streetcars. And Queensway, one of the best RoWs has a 10km/hr intersection limit!

You know who sane governments like Canada’s tap to be the Minister of Public Safety? People with actual experience in the public safety profession as prosecutors, criminal defence lawyers, or chiefs of police.
Dear TTC, reducing speed limits will not stop these incidents. Traffic enforcement will.
Why am I getting impressed by Michael Lindsay!?
Yeah. Awfully suspicious we’ve heard nothing about arrests for their vandalism. Even if they’re gone, that doesn’t change the fact that destruction or vandalism of public property is a criminal offence.
Not to mention that it is wrong that Ford bowed to vandals and criminals by banning the cameras.
Well what happens when the efficiencies don’t materialize? Or is efficiencies just electoral Swahili for service cuts (closing libraries, running buses less often)
Well the province won’t allow speed cameras (which were working great and funding road safety improvements, traffic enforcement, police, and crossing guards).
I want candidates to be honest but especially him because he has been in city council for like a decade, knows the city budget. So has he seen the light on property tax increases? Does he have some secret scheme to get money from Ford? Or is he going to cut subway frequencies to staff it with cops?
Where exactly is he thinking of getting the money from since he didn’t like Chow’s property tax hikes? Police don’t work for free unfortunately.
But a toddler wouldn’t scratch her paint.
That’s why laws need to be harsh on drivers who injure or kill people.

Okay the bus stop has nice pavement. The rest of what you describe is not nice.
Nice bus stop!
Please don’t reignite the “is an X a big bird” case! Trains can withstand a bird easily. Overpasses/underpasses can be built to carry roads over the rail corridor periodically, and probably will be for all the existing provincial highways (the road density in rural areas is not like urban areas).
The 510 didn’t get phase rotation at Harbord sadly 😥. Don’t know if the streetcar stopped to far short or triggered too late (though the green stayed for us at Willcocks). The streetcars take straight non-switch intersections without slowing showing how dumb the Line 6 intersection speed limit is. 🤬
