iirc it's only to Woodbine GO, not to Pearson and definitely not to Yonge.
Honestly woodbine is the only westward extension that's truly necessary. The only case for a Line 6 extension to Pearson I could see is if in some distant future (Alto Maybe?) a proper regional rail facility is built at Pearson to allow for through running trains, allowing for the repurposing of the UP Guideway for Line 6. That's basically it.
 
I think the Finch LRT team should just be retained and keep them working considering they probably had the best go at a rail transit project in 21st century Ontario history.
I think you'll find a lot of the same contractors/consultants on Finch are also on other projects. It's a small industry (not construction in general, but these transit projects).
 
Update to the signage that are being rolled out for Line 6’s soft opening. The outside signs on a pole have been put with Line 6’s logo, and some station walls are receiving signage brackets that will point the direction to the new Line 6 pathway. (Signage was also updated on the south Main Entrance, unsure about the North but didn’t get a photo)

Just putting this reminder here before we get people attempting to discredit the chosen mode of transport again based on sketchy agency-level operating procedures.

And a demo of what we could also have if North American institutions didn't prize the illusion of safety over common sense:

The marketing said 34 minutes end to end, for an average of 18 km/h. Now we're being told it could go as high as 46 minutes. JFC the hits keep on coming... 46 minutes implies an average speed of 13.4 km/h for a 10.3 km route. It is a farce that this is even on the TTC Subway map without a disclaimer.

The true subway speed is between 25-29km/h depending on Line and time of day (The service summary and navigation apps are not accurate).

That seems rather out of date.

Here's the one they posted yesterday (Thursday) morning.

Map of Subway reduced speed zones


Gosh, the ones at Union are new. Looks like it will be there until early December westbound and mid-December eastbound.
 
Thanks, I wasn't aware that there was a page on the site for it with the up to date one.

Nonetheless, either map proves my point... if you have a bunch of circus clowns at the helm, being a subway instead of an LRT is no guarantee of speed or reliability. Nor are buses.
It's called average speed. Also, even the slow zones have a higher average speed than any LRT, streetcar, or bus route.
