Nobody is arguing that fast headways are impossible with human drivers...they just aren't realistic. In the real world, automation...

You may well be right there. Just seems like such a shame to build the line to 90% of what could be. Although at over a decade late and...

DT definitely could be. My point is that if they go to the expense for a complete crossing of CPKC+8Ave+7 Ave then they are not breaking...

Thanks - I knew about the 78 ave tunnel but couldn't recall the implications Highfield Blvd (aka 42 Ave) is definitely a level...

69 Avenue will be closed this summer once they finish the 78 Ave tunnel so that's already one less crossing

It's sort of a catch 22 though.. While the signaling tech may be capable, we know damn well that we'll never see 90 second LRT...

I still think the HF/LF debate is a fairly pointless distraction from the real mode choice that can still be made with GL. Should it be...

7th Ave is interesting - it's got to be near the top of the list for highest capacity at-grade rapid transit lines around the continent...

Yeah. Numbers I’ve seen is $5 million a station of saving ($7–>$2) but that is old. If land acquisition is a concern or integration into...

I would think that the cheaper station thing is most true when you're actually running the line down a road and effectively upgrading...

Which is basically what we've achieved here, minus the 7 Ave stretch. I'll never understand the reluctance/outright opposition to using...

High-Floor LRT is great if used in the right context. It's equivalent to a Dollar Store metro system.

Let's not get down on this guys too too much. Look at the great reviews they have. I'd say they're incredible as always with the...
