It could be likened to Metra. I guess. The thing about GO Transit (acronym for Government of Ontario, and was funded 100% by the province for 30 years.) is the tracks aren't loops, like Chicago. Also, I think Metra was probably built specifically for this transit purposes, where as most of the track GO rides is owned by CN rail (yes, like the CN Tower... and I just found out, is majority owned by Melinda Gates (thanks to Bill transferring her all his stocks, which is 10.4%, and thus, th e largest single shareholder!)
@@I_am_Allan Metra doesn't have a loop. Your probably thinking of the CTA subway which has a loop in downtown. Also most of the track that Metra runs on is owned by either Union Pacific, BNSF, Canadian Pacific, or Canadian National.
@@Absolute_Zero7 If I remember correctly, most of those tracks were only acquired after 2006, the only exception I can think of being the Stouffville line north of Scarborough Junction.
I came across that in my research, but it only ran on a 3 hour frequency to Erindale. I didn’t feel that was enough to justify the “regular service” category.
@@VanishingUnderground Oh shit, it was that bad? Ew... Luckily there is a lot of interest from the Canadian and Provincal governments to get all-day, true all-day service back on the Milton line.

@@coastaku1954 Ye, if it did count you could arguably colour in the entire Barrie Line since (at least on weekends) it runs every 3 hours to Allandale Waterfront
Is Bart or Muni next? After that based on another comment Philadelphia. The only two cities that can cleanly be split into more than one part left are Chicago and New York.
Etobicoke North is planned to be demolished and replaced with a new station at Woodbine Racetrack (Highway 27). That station is planned to have UP Express platforms and the city is considering to extend Line 6 there
VIA Rail, once the Maple Leaf portion of the line resumes, will have this service again. It was temporarily cut during the pandemic to allow infrastructure work. It had run for over twenty years. Much faster option to NF than a hard GO Train seat, has bigger and cleaner washrooms, and a cafe car. Wi-Fi is also available on the US portion of the route, all the way to New York City. No need for GO to cross the border as that's beyond a regional service mandate. Let VIA handle the national and international train services as they're been doing for years.
@@TrainMike2013 except for the amount of trips provided, 2 times a day really doesnt connect well, where for example Windsor Transit crosses over every 30 mins, it would be nice to see better connections so you might be able to watch a Sabres/Bills game or be able to visit Walden Galleria, either Amtrak needs to increase frequency or Go should certainly look into picking up the service even if just by starting to go to the Bus Terminal in Buffalo, as Greyhound is offering less service to Canada
@@gracos1989 if you follow rail news, Amtrak has announced they are working on Chicago to Toronto through Windsor vs the previous Sarnia routing.

Many European railways are doing this; they have their premier brand and then an economy version. I would bet that if VIA had an economy brand and ran trains to tourist spots, it would have a large number of riders, plus be an at par competitor to GO as they would have faster service due to less stops.
@@TrainMike2013 yes, i am aware but once again is frequency adequate enough to rely on this route, it should be if not every other hour, and it will probably have the frequency of the Maple Leaf twice a day
I have to say that I was shocked when I noticed how small the subway system of Toronto is. I have lived in Sydney and Melbourne on Australia and was impressed by how advanced their transit is down there!! On top they are also adding a metro line like in Paris (underground and yes it comes on top of the current transit that already exist in Sydney). On transit side, I am sorry to say but Australia does a much better job than Canada, even Vancouver! Now 2 years ago, I have been to Santiago de Chile! You know what??? They had 4 lines of underground trains! It is really not bad knowing that Chile is still a developing economy!!!!! Canada should do way better for wheee it stands now! It just shouldn’t be happy with “good enough” when it comes to transit! Even the French speaking Canadians in Montreal seem to be way better than Toronto in terms of transit system! And you know what is the worst or… the best???? Even AFRICA has some acceptable transit: ua-cam.com/video/HuNRmsF26_U/v-deo.html
Excuse me, the guy is only talking about the regional trains and NOT including the downtown subway lines and streetcar (tram) lines. Furthermore, 2 more light rail lines are under construction. Plus 1 more subway line (relief line) under proposal stage.
GO/Metrolinx is making a big mistake by adding more and more stations to existing lines. For example, two new stations are going to be added to the Barrie line. One at Innisfil, the second I can't remember right away. Travel times from Barrie to Toronto keep increasing because of this, and are even longer in the winter. As someone who lives in Barrie and used to take the GO train to Toronto for events and such, I won't be using it any more. It now takes 2 hours or more to use the line. I can be at the northern most terminus for the TTC subway in 45 minutes (by car), and it's another 25 minutes on the subway to get where I need to go. Or, I can drive all the way into the downtown core. The parking charge is still less than the $31.00 round trip on the GO train.
As GO increases service they are also increasing the variety of service. There will be express trains from Barrie to Toronto and local trains from Aurora to Toronto. The express trains will make limited stops south of Aurora
Something to consider is the fact that GO is being electrified which will SIGNIFICANTLY improve travel times on the line. With electric traction, trains will be able to accelerate MUCH faster than they do today, and as such even with all of the additional stations being planned, travel times should still improve over what we see today.
The Niagara Falls service basically killed a faster and much comfortable VIA Rail service to the city. Once the Maple Leaf resumes, Niagara Falls will only have one VIA train in each direction. Many people do not realize there is a better option than a hard GO train seat for two hours to Niagara Falls. I'm hoping that when the new VIA passenger cars start arriving next year, VIA will restore the previously cut second daily trip to Niagara, possibly using the Budds still in service.
I'm totally fine with the GO train seats. It beats the alternative (bus). It's also so much more affordable than a VIA ticket. Can just tap a PRESTO card. There's also talk of bringing back the Port Dalhousie ferry to the city.
VIA left the corridor years before GO started running regular service in the corridor. The only exception was that VIA still operated the Canadian portion of the Amtrak Maple Leaf service from New York. GO has been far more successful than VIA ever was because they offer fixed, affordable prices, regardless of when you buy the tickets. And you don't need to decide in advance which departure you will take. They also achieve much lower operating costs per passenger because they don't have a needlessly tedious boarding procedure and they have fewer staff per train.
@@OntarioTrafficMan many people don't know about VIA, thus they only think there is/has been only one train option. Hard seats/small nasty washrooms/more station stops/no snack and drinks for sale versus VIA doing all of the above 200% better and getting families there faster so they spend more of a full day there before coming home (and faster), I'd take VIA. The thought of up to two hours on a GO seat each way is a huge deterrent for many people.
@@havenot3893it is frequent in the GTA. Not all service has been restored. NF is infrequent. It is also cheaper by planning ahead, just like an airline.
VU's general rule is that he only lists projects that have had the construction tendered. Unfortunately, a lot of projects that GO is building currently is hard to put on a map. Double tracking and Grade separations? Maybe you can add a 2 tone line to represent "frequent service"?

With the introduction of DB into the mix, it seems the plan is to run trains as frequently as every 6 minutes during rush hours, even 3 minutes on the LSW line.
i really hope metrolinx releases plans to expand outside of the golden horseshoe. i would love a GO service (bus, train, or boat) serving London, Ottawa, Sudbury, Sault Ste Marie, Bruce, etc to fill the gap left by Greyhound
@@vincentng2392 not frequent enough to be considered reliable, either VIA provides more frequency or Go should consider picking up services, thus removing some vehicles on the road
They have already started service to London, the issue is they can't build their own trackage or station platforms right now so they need to adapt to the current rail infrastructure. This currently means that the trains will have to slow down considerably, GO transit will need to manage freight delays and it will be very difficult to increase frequencies.
With the speed limits, a regular service to Ottawa doesn't make sense since its a 6h+ trip, so it can't really be used by commuters or anything. The dream is to have high speed rail which could cut the trip to 3 hr or less, but it'll be tough to get funding for that.
@@archivek4 GO is getting frequent, electrified service on most of its lines though. Euro style. Same with other NA agencies like CalTrain. It's not all doom and gloom.

Can we get an "evolution of drivers insurance premiums in Brampton" please
I take the go train
FINALLY
i thought you did this already
The first one had several mistakes and was clearly aged
That's what I thought
@@Absolute_Zero7 ohhhhh . interesting
Please do a video on the Bay Area rapid transit aka Bart please
Random question: why is there no route 4 or 8 GO Transit Line
Those numbers aren't official in any way. This video is great, but I have no idea where VU got the numbers from. They do have a historical lettering system, but that's about it.
I think that consolidating train routes could help the service
can you do LIRR and Metro North?
and still no all day service on the richmond hill line 🤦
It's owned by freight companies so its hard for GO Transit to operate more trains on it
It’s cause cn freight trains out west operate on the northern section but I agree at least make it all day service to old cummer which is just south of where freight trains run
U gotta do NYC
The guy is only talking about the regional trains and NOT including the downtown subway lines and streetcar (tram) lines. Furthermore, 2 more light rail lines are under construction. Plus 1 more subway line (relief line) under proposal stage.
It says regional in the title, and he already has a TTC evolution video
It's so odd to me to look at double level trains as they don't exist in the UK. Funny though how we have double decker buses and alot of other countries don't have them
It is interesting that GO started using double decker trains in the 70s, but didn't start using double decker buses until 2007.
Another remake
Try doing Nashville transit evolution.
Outstanding video. Well paced, covering all the basics for the novice roofing repairer like myself, such as tools needed, tile elimination sequence, and variety of nails and the placement of the nails. Gives the customer levels of self-confidence towards the job at hand. Many thanks
Excellent task! this video clip is extremely practical.
Extremely thoughtful, sensible, and also detailed, and also with excellent disposition!
Quite valued
This is just one of the very best videos I've seen. Specific, clearly instructed and also clearly showed. great ... just great.
