My current mangle-peeve is the temporary westbound Transitway stop at the Good Companions centre, where the pause or caesura is completely off-timed and ends up something like:

"Empress Avenue.

North! avenue Empress (nord).

The Good Companions Centre Bons compagnons"

So is anything else actually going to go green on the Confederation Line website before the whole thing launches?

J.OT13 · #**7643** Posted **Jul 30, 2018, 4:47 PM**

I'm gonna say... no.

Otherwise, the running track would be green, Blair would be green and the vehicles would be green. And Belfast yard? Not sure now that they are expanding for Stage 2.

Maybe the vehicles? LRV34 ought to be done sooner or later..

OCCheetos · #**7645** Posted **Jul 30, 2018, 4:56 PM**

Well, I guess this is what it should look like right now.

I also just returned from a time travel trip to the future...

Stations aren’t finished. But why aren’t the tunnel and vehicle blocks green?

I guess the tunnel could be green, but LRV34 still hasn't been completed yet.

This is just speculation, but the track might not be showing up as green if they've put the signaling system in with that too. Since although the construction is complete, the testing and certification of it isn't.

Plus i don't think blair is 100% done yet, but it's 97% or so (from the videos and picture we saw from the media day there was some green "walls" (for lack of a better word) up that didn't look like they are a permanent thing.

Too bad the bus stops there were designed by people who hate transit users.

I'm thinking you should buy a car. You clearly see no positives in public transit.

What would I do with a car?

I am very pro-transit, obviously, as my primary means of non-pedestrian transportation.

I am very frustrated with the ongoing stupidity of design and operational choices that this city keeps making when it comes to transit, especially things which diminish the value of the network, prioritize the suburbs over the centre, maximize passenger inconvenience, and favour moving buses over moving people.

I think stations like Hurdman are on par with Toronto's stations as bus terminals. I don't see why you think Ottawa is not comparable.

Is that wet spot Hurdman's washroom?

SkeggsEggs · #**7658** Posted **Aug 2, 2018, 11:30 AM**

Do any of the stations have those entrance lanterns yet?
