This was the GO Transit ALRT project. Originally, the ROW obtained from Pickering to Whitby (and now to Oshawa) was for the ALRT project. A brochure I had showed GO vehicles of a design similar in appearance to the ICTS vehicles on the Scarborough RT, though I don't believe ALRT was to use linear induction technology. The original plan was to build the Whitby-Pickering line first, then to build it from Pickering to Scarborough city centre (possibly via the Metro Toronto Zoo), North York city centre, the airport, and then swinging again south to meet GO's lakeshore line again at Oakville. Scarborough and North York were at odds as to where the line should go - Scarborough wanted Sheppard Avenue, North York wanted Finch (actually the hydro ROW just north of Finch). (I don't see why it could not have followed west from Scarborough city centre via Sheppard and east from North York city centre using the other alignment, then connecting possibly via the 404 ROW) : - The Queen Street line that was going to service Exhibition Place : and curve northwards to the Beaches and maybe as far north as : Thorncliffe Park? To this day there is an unused platform under the : Queen/Yonge Station where visionaries saw the need. Somewhere I have some information of what the stops would be for this, but this goes back to the referendum that voted in favour of Toronto's rapid transit plan which included this with the Union-Eglinton subway on Yonge Street. (Off hand, I don't remember when this was - sometime in the 40's and it was held on, believe it or not, January 1) I believe that as Toronto developed, planners found that Bloor became a "more important" east-west link. Though, in more recent times, there has been talk, on-again-off-again, about an eastern "relief" line to take the load off of the Bloor-Yonge interchange. What has been discussed was a line from Donlands (somewhere I heard that there was some renovations there about nine years ago that somehow might have provisions for this - I can't say for sure) that would connect with the Yonge line - some said at Union, some said Queen. Queen would probably be better partly because of the existence of the lower level "shell" (though it was built to be an underground streetcar line, like the Harbourfront line at Union, and not a full heavy rail subway), and partly because it distributes the load better (people for Dundas and King would go on separate trains from Queen instead of crowd on the same train from Union, along with the people destined for Queen). The most recent thing I've heard about the lower level of Queen is that it will become part of a transit museum, with the other half to be located in the lower level of the Bay station. : c) Even the York and Scarborough lines are half-assed patchworks, : they're just an extension to the idea that everyone in Toronto : wants to go to Union Station and back (an idea only emphasized : by GO Transit). Is that the case anymore? I wouldn't think so - at least if the new Sheppard line were to be built as far west as Allen Road to meet with the extension now under construction of the Spadina line, it would provide a much-needed cross-town route that avoids going south to Bloor. Personally, the Sheppard line should go from the Scarborough RT to the airport, with a light rail line from the airport to Kipling station (are you familiar with the "platform" opposite the busses directly over the subway there?) to provide a more substantial "frame" of rapid transit around Metro. One other point about the Spadina extension to York U - it seems a bit of a waste when one considers what one gets in return for the cost. I mean that currently, bus service to York is fairly fast with much of the distance travelling through the Downsview air base with few stops or heavy traffic. The worst part of the trip is the bottleneck from Sheppard & Allen down to Wilson station. With the current subway extension from Wilson to Sheppard & Allen, the bus trip from there to York will probably be one of the most efficient in Metro - so why replace it with a subway that costs a fortune? Compare this with Sheppard Avenue - a bus driver once told me that in the middle of a weekday, there are 12 to 15 busses on the Sheppard 85 route. Rush hours add a number of additional busses to this, plus add the "rush hour only" routes like 85C, 85D, 85E, 85G, ... (at one time, I think the letters went to H or I with the odd one morning or afternoon only). Then there are the number of stops and heavy traffic! : Just watch out; GO has been one of the worst culprits, by insisting that : all roads lead to Union. I wouldn't say this, because it has mainly been GO's mandate to make use of existing rail lines instead of building new ROW (notwithstanding the GO sub from Durham Jct to Oshawa). With the exception of CP's Belleville-North Toronto-Galt subdivision route and CN's York subdivision route, there really are not existing rail lines that do NOT lead to union. I would really like to see an all-day service from Milton to Oshawa using the CP route along with an all-day service from Richmond Hill, only diverting it via the Leaside line and CP's Belleville subdivision's Don Branch to Union instead of staying with CN's Bala sub all the way in order to provide an interchange at Leaside with trains on the CP line. But all this would cost lots of bucks - upgrades on the CP lines to handle the passenger traffic, plus upgrades to the Leaside branch because access to it is only via two hand-thrown switches and one derail and the track has 3/4 inch (on average) rail gaps. -- Calvin Henry-Cotnam, CATE | "My wife is not a well person.

Eigler" Subject: ttc-cuts.txt Date: Sun, 19 Nov 1995 11:21:10 -0500 To: fche@elastic.org -------- [From the October 1995 Transit Service Update of the TTC...] Service cuts for February 1996 The TTC is making major service cuts beginning on February 18 next year. These cuts are in response to funding cuts from the Ontario provincial government and the Metro government, and will result in subsidy savings of approximately $14-million in 1996. All of the service cuts will make travel more difficult, slower, or more crowded for our customers, and though they have been selected to keep the network still as easy to use, quick and comfortable as possible, the TTC will lose some customers as a result of the cuts. This bulletin is to explain some of the background behind the service cuts and to give the details fo the particular cuts on each route. ------------------------- Why is service being cut? There is little doubt that the TTC's operating subsidy from the Ontario and Metro governments will be reduced in 1996. It is possible that the subsidy will be reduced by up to $40-million. In response to past subsidy cuts, ridership losses because of the recession, and the approaching end of the Social Contract agreement, the TTC has undertaken a major restructuring and downsizing. This has allowed for the elimination of upwards of 350 management and administrative jobs. Cost savings in these areas will continue in 1996, but this alone will not meet the subsidy cuts in 1996. So, the TTC plans to close Lansdowne Garage, make service cuts, and perhaps increase fares again in early 1996. --------------------------- How were the cuts selected? In selecting service cuts, the approach has been to identify those cuts which would keep to a minimum the ridership and revenue losses per dollar saved in subsidy. The same relationship was calculated for a possible fare increase, and the cuts that are being made are those that will lead to ridership losses that are smaller than those from a fare increase. By combining service cuts with a fare increase, the ridership losses will be smaller than if only service cuts or only a fare increase were made. Each possible service-level reduction and each possible elimination of service on every route in the system, at every time of the week, was considered. For each, a calculation was made of the additional travel time that customers would have, how many customers would then decide not to use the TTC, and then the revenue loss was compared to the cost savings of the service cut. The service reductions were approved by the Commission at a public meeting on October 12. At the meeting, some changes were made to the list, and so some routes which had been proposed for elimination are not being eliminated, but instead are being reduced in frequency or in hours. ----------------------------- Lansdowne Garage to be closed Also on February 18, 1996, Lansdowne will be closed as an operating division. All of the bus routes which are now based at Lansdowne will be moved to other garages, and some other routes will be moved to make room for them. A list of all the routes at each garage is on the last page of this bulletin. The closure of Lansdowne Garage will save the TTC between $2-million and $3- million in 1996 and in each year after that. While the costs of deadheading buses and paying travel time for relief operators will increase, the savings of the basic costs of maintaining the facility and minimum staffing levels greatly exceed the increased deadhead costs. Of all the garages, Lansdowne was selected because it will result in a greater saving than if any of the other garages were closed, and because the closure eliminates the need for major expenditures to renovate the garage, particularly the ventilation system. With the opening of the subway extension to Downsview Station in March 1996, the opening of the 510 Spadina streetcar line in 1997, and the planned opening of the Sheppard subway in 2002, the need for buses and the space to maintain them will continue to decline. -------------------------- The service cuts in detail The service cuts for each route are listed here.
