We are planning on extending the Sheppard Subway, and there is an opportunity to think bigger extend the line cheap and efficiently to Toronto's largest development. While the site is currently empty and before housing is built. Read our new article: open.substack.com/pub/moretr…

Sylvia connected with local advocates and municipal partners to discuss the links between transit, housing, infrastructure, economic development, and opportunities to strengthen Brampton’s transportation network as public transit helps build a stronger, more connected region.

What could GO service to Kitchener look like with electric trains, infrastructure improvements, and a more ambitious service plan with express trains? Here is a service concept from our recent presentation at the Guelph Transportation Summit, also a part of our upcoming report.

Phase rotation is finally active at some intersections on Line 6 Finch West! But what is phase rotation? And how does it make my commute faster? 🤔👇

Crews are currently replacing streetcar tracks on King West that have reached their end of life. During this work, we *should* be installing newer double-point switch designs and modern control systems.

While a subway extension could improve connections between Mississauga and Etobicoke, MTSO highlighted the importance of two-way, all-day Milton GO service, improved GO bus connections, and more frequent rapid transit across Mississauga. Read the full story via our bio.

Yesterday, Sep. 21, we sent pledges out to a total of 175 city council candidates running in the 2026 Toronto municipal election. Candidates were asked whether they will work implement the policies from our 10-point plan if they win on Oct. 26 🙋
Summary of the pledges we sent out to candidates. As follows: Prioritize Public Transit Make Transit Signal Priority more powerful, remove left turns where possible to speed up bus and streetcar routes, and split up pedestrian crossings to enable more adaptive and dynamic transit signal priority. Improve Travel Times Review and act on overly restrictive slow zones and operating practices, and rebalancing stop spacing to speed up vehicles while maintaining access. Fix Switches Modernize the outdated switch control system for streetcars, end the practice of stopping at every single streetcar switch, and begin installing double-bladed switches in the streetcar network. Streetcars of the Future Invest in a modular track diversion system so that streetcars can safely navigate construction zones without lengthy detours or bus substitution, and plan for double-ended streetcars in future procurement.

How much faster would GO trains be if they used electrical multiple unit (EMU) trains? Today, a 33.7km trip from Pickering to Union station makes 6 stops and takes 45 minutes Our proposed local EMU service would make 13 stops, and take only 36 minutes.
More Transit Southern Ontario@moretransitsoSep 14
Did you know that Munich S Bahn trains accelerate extremely fast? 0-100km/h: 27 seconds 0-140km/h: 46 seconds Compare that to GO trains: 0-100km/h: 90 seconds High performance EMUs will change the GO network. Keep an eye out for MTSO service concept proposals coming soon.

Woodbine GO construction is underway and it'll be a great station for the area. However, current station and TOD plans seem to be overlooking a future extension of the Finch West LRT. We wrote an article a few months ago about why this is so important. moretransitso.substack.com/p…

Major construction is underway at the new Woodbine GO Station! 🚆   The station will connect thousands more riders to the Kitchener GO Line, UP Express and local transit, while making it easier to get to Pearson Airport and destinations across the region.   Our government is building the transit infrastructure Ontario needs to cut travel times, fight gridlock and keep people moving.
