And frankly better the silly names than the French approach, with custom bodies for every city's LRV.

I think the best we can hope for is Grand River Rapidsomething. Rapid on its own seems best to me, but I could seem a view variations on the theme, and Rapid Transit has a definite appeal, though...

There is still a Square One Pearson express, its just provided by MiWay (formerly Mississauga Transit) and makes a few local stops now.

To be more blunt than some of the other responses, what on earth are you talking about?

I'd think that an independent Guelph - Kitchener service could work but anything longer than that in either direction ends up working far better as increased frequency on a service running through to...

Thats accurate, although strictly speaking the portion of the Eglinton LRT on airport property has not had it's EA done either (that portion was tied up in the ARL, which was still in design at the...

In the longer term I'd also hold out hope that if the Finch LRT extension ever gets moving it will be routed up Airport road as far as Malton. Aside from the GO connection it looks to me like by far...

I agree that a Conestoga station would have something to be said for it post electrification and once we are looking at a minimum of hourly service, but in the mean time highway access to the Breslau...

I don't think you're off hugely, but a lot will depend on traffic levels through Guelph on the North Mainline by the time this gets built, and what kind of concessions on light/heavy rail separation...

It really seems to me like this corridor should be owned by the Province through one agency or another all the way to London. If GEXR wants to continue leasing just their line from Stratford more...

The good news is that even that mess in Guelph is actually double track. We aren't talking about right of way acquisition anywhere along this corridor. I do agree that they really need to look at...

I wonder if someone could come up with some illustration of lane capacity and space consumed inspired by this thing?

Thats the key point to me. We need to get beyond the idea that roads are somehow for cars - they are for transportation. Yes, cars must be accommodated, but they are not a particularly efficient...

The other significant point is that Buffalo is not actually doing that terribly compared to other American systems if measured by ridership per mile. They've really got a very small system that...

Personally I like the idea of iXpress being the general brand, with colours added. Certainly I think that the idea of a aXpress, bXpress, etc is far to awkward.

Given what's going on with the negotiations I doubt that GEXR would be comfortable committing to any kind of new facility in Kitchener. Frankly, if I were them I'd be looking at the practicality of...

Is there any need to preserve that north building at all? Old or not (and it doesn't really appear to be) I really see nothing about that building suggesting that its worth protecting. The main...

I would fully support having both. As much as the development it would induce is problematic, there really is a need for alternate routes toward Guelph, the GO train will require better connections...
