Hi, my name's Reece. I'm a passionate Creator, Transportation Planner, and Software Developer, interested in rapid transportation all around my home base of Toronto, Canada, as well as the whole world!
I can understand the need for enclosed waiting areas on platforms in the Toronto area, with your winter climate. Thanks for the video 🇦🇺
Glad to see you do a video on my station! And OMG, the placement of the Presto machine is so inconvenient. I hate it! Thanks for bringing that up. Hopefully they add a couple more in the future.
It's my station too!
This more standardized analysis of GO RER expansion is fantastic!! I think for a lot of people outside the GTA like myself, understanding the real scope, stakes and components of this expansion isn’t fully appreciated because of its nebulous nature. Thank you for breaking it down very clearly, station by station!! Keep up the amazing work you both! 😁
Thank you!
I love this length of the video, it’s just the perfect amount of information without any dwelling, I love this new series! It’s everything you’d want to know about this station and nothing more, nothing less!
Thanks Joebie
The changes at the western end of Scarborough is flying past people's heads. They just can't see the future.
Eglinton from vic park to Kennedy is gonna be a hot spot in 10 - 15 years. Wouldn't be surprised to see Kennedy/Eg becoming the main hub of Scarborough until the Scarborough subway extension is finally done.
Glad to see the first video on Kennedy! As someone living outside the GTHA, I found your analysis very clear and appreciate your coverage of details like the inconvenient placement of the Presto Readers and the lack of level boarding. I love this new series, keep up the great work!
So here I am in Ireland, watching transit videos in Toronto ......again!
We love to have you!
Excited to see the new Kennedy station!
Nice video, hope to see more!
Great video!
Thanks Richard!
Great video! I was wondering if you had any plans for an analysis of the Hurontario LRT in the Peel Region?
"Subway-Surface." You went full SEPTA there XD
I think I'll be adopting the term for use with Line 5 in the future to describe it :D
Aka REM 😂
@@guldukat2453 Do you mean the Eglinton Crosstown?
From Philly?
@@MIKEJ788 yessir
heated platforms on this one?
Why did they place the CSA's accessibility platform in a way that would require the demolition of Line 3 to fully extend the platform? Do they hate the RT that much?
I'm not sure if this question serious or not
@@RMTransit No, seriously, I think they should move the whole platform down south a bit, _just in case_ they change their mind and want to keep the RT, you see...
Unfortunately that's not an option because the track curves
@@RMTransit 😟
Will the RT actually get dismantled, or will it be repurposed? There's already track and stations. Seems like a lack of imagination.
Dismantled, the line is going to be made basically entirely redundant
Interestinf
Kennedy station is from the 80s. So dated
Great video!
