    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I had the displeasure of detouring down Hurontario the other day during rush hour. Saw the 2km stretch from Port Credit to QEW has no tracks. Ballpark what percentage of tracks do you think are laid so far?

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    Regulation of AI so that it doesn't Skynet us is probably a good idea. I don't know if that's exactly what Carney is saying. Either way, letting the Americans and Chinese monopolize AI is just going to make them our overlords eventually. We can't just stick our heads in the sand and pretend AI...

    Ottawa Transit Developments

    The bearings are supposed to last 1,000,000 km, not 100,000 km This is the timeline I see: May 27, 2024; Alstom halts work on redesign hailed by city as 'final fix' to LRT woes...

    Was there a press release for this? Alstom's not going to change the cartridge bearings for the bogies? But aren't the Hamilton LRVs going to be Citadis Spirits too? Or has that changed? I guess it's too late to change for Hurontario (all or almost all of the vehicles are delivered already).

    Ottawa Transit Developments

    Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in? @drum118 can we really blame it all on North American-spec tracks? Would European-spec wholly solve the premature wear? If grooved rail would fix everything, why did Alstom agree to resume bearing redesign work (back in 2024... which is slated...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    I don't discount the need for Amazon drivers to drive a van, or Instacart shoppers to drive a vehicle, but I am not sure how you're concluding that it's highly possible for vehicle-kilometres to be higher for delivery than visiting retail in-person. Talking about both grocery delivery and...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    I believe @Monarch Butterfly said "can access most of their daily needs". The other rebuttal is that about 1/3rd of people have a Bachelor's degree or higher in Canada, and only around 2/3rds have post-secondary education. A 15-minute neighbourhood is viable as long as you don't have to travel...

    Waterfront Transit Reset Phase 1 Study

    All the more reason to blame those involved for not getting the ball rolling sooner. Hindsight 20/20.

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Are we sure cut and cover wasn't used at all for the Broadway extension? Also: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/broadway-subway-project-will-close-1-block-for-months-9.6952544
