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!

What's your favourite feature of these new Ontario Line stations?
-
Basically, the Ontario Line is unique in North America by being a start to getting rid of the "North America" mentality and coming in line with the rest of the world.
-
Plazas are good. And, woo. The Canadian transit boom continues. Just wish it would build faster, so I won’t be in my late 40s when we can finally ride them. 😔
-
That intro was epic
-
I am engineer who works with architects for designing buildings. I just want to emphasize that the initial render drawing are usually quite different from the final design. Also architects are often guilty of green washing the renders by adding trees, shrubs, green walls, etc. to the render which looks really nice but often will not be included at the end of construction.
-
Your excitement for transit is contagious! I really appreciate you making these videos, I think you're doing a great service to Ontario in showing good transit can be.
-
I really, really, hope whichever political party wins this year's election just lets this project chug along since it seems to be on the right track. The fact that it got the federal government's blessing probably ensures this, but I just wouldn't want to see the project delayed or negatively affected by unreasonable NIMBY demands (reasonable demands seem to be largely considered in good faith by Metrolinx as far as I can tell).
-
This is looking really nice! That through-truss bridge design is jaw-dropping!
-
Wow, those designs are breathtaking. I wish the station designs for Cross River Rail in Brisbane were that gorgeous.
-
This is by far the best thing Doug Ford has ever done and probably won’t be surpassed by anything else he does. Credit where it’s due
-
The return of DANCING REECE !!
-
I second the idea to make a video about why side platforms are great for high frequency. i generally enjoy the explanation of basic design features that can have large impacts.
-
Wow! What a beautiful line. I love that it's being built to handle high ridership and short frequencies from the start. I hope the Ontario Line becomes the standard for rapid transit design in North America. It would be great for cities like Los Angeles to emulate it.
-
WOW!!! I switched to my 65" TV screen and watched this twice. It is so clear and the views of the stations are great.
-
There’s a lot of creative thought going into these stations adding style enhancing the neighborhoods they are going to be built-in. Each one having its own unique flavor of architecture makes it very interesting. It will be fun to ride just to explore the stations. I have watched this video two days in a row. It’s fun to see some thing that has as much form as it does function that will add tremendously to Toronto.
-
Really proud of Toronto for this! I am curious about how side platforms at terminals will aid in higher frequency. Great video Reece !
-
Corten steel is really expensive and is always used in renderings because it looks nice and characteristic. So prepare to be disappointed and accept stations with regular IPEs or concrete beams.
-
This subway line has been needed for decades. Love the designs for above ground. How much will cost overruns is the question now. Metrolinx isn’t exactly smart with our money.
-
This is my first video of yours I have watched. Super fun and your passion for the subject really comes through. Good stuff.
-
Great video. Your excitement is infectious! I just wish it would be open sooner.
