    I was hoping for a second bridge, at least connect the western part of Ile Bizard to like Cap St Jacques, so it be easier to access the highway.

    I thought I read a while back, that they have the station built already inside the airport?
  3. jesseps
    One thing, will this system work with what was built into the airport or will they need to retrofit? I also wonder, if they will have something going through Turcot after it is all completed.

    (Courtesy of Engadget) It is a good initiative, but will Quebec mandate by a certain year everyone needs to have an electric vehicle?
  5. jesseps
    Anything that can help would be great.

    4 years to build it, is quite ambitious. If they can do it, I will be surprised and happy.

    I can attest to Jakarta being quite fragmented. I just got back from being there for a few days. The city is massive! Everything is sprawled out, which is unpleasant to walk and the bus service isn't the best either. They have different transit services: buses that have actual stops and another service that doesn't have stops but can pick people up on certain routes, which can change a bit (which isn't expensive say like - $0.35 to $0.50). Luckily they are working on an underground system, but it still will not match what we use in Montreal or New York or even Paris. It will be like what Toronto is using right now.What is crazy is that their metro area is 1600 sq.km and over 30 million people live in that area.

    I am living in Dublin. The cost of living is pretty bad, the pay isn't the greatest, compared to Montreal. It is my fault for not studying in computer science. Thing is PayPal, IBM and other tech companies that have their EU HQ in Dublin or Ireland, all because of the tax system in place (that is all). Also the companies that are multinational and make billions a year, are constantly looking for people that speak 2-3 languages. They hardly hire anyone who speaks only English. The reason being, it is the EU HQ and the EU has so many different languages. So, it is good if people know more than 1-2 languages, it will go a long way. Here in Dublin or back in Canada. Learning another language will not kill you! How did Montreal and Canada rank back when the Dollar was at parity to the USD?

    Weird, my post didn't get posted. The only this can work, is if they can move a lot of people per hour. The concept that Musk worked on was a 16 person vehicle. If that is true, I hope they can shuttle 16 people on a 5 minute basis. So that would move over 180+ people an hour. Which isn't the greatest. As for the price, it be nice if it could be under $1000/month. AC has a 10 ticket passport to/from Toronto-Montreal for $1700+. The future of transportation seems cool.

    How about, working in Toronto but living in Montreal? I wonder how much it would cost to get a "hyperloop" monthly pass and will it take business away from VIA and airlines. Plus how frequently can it go and move people.
  12. jesseps
    Is this thing moving along?

    Between firing 7000 people over the next 2 years and a large CS order. It makes sense that Bombardier stock is up over 10% today.
  14. jesseps
    Wow that doesn't look like anything like the rendering
  15. jesseps
    I am guessing more like 2023-2025.
  16. jesseps
    It would be nice yes. With those people involved they would keep stuff on track and get rid of unnecessary expenses. On the other hand, the government loves cost overruns and things taking longer, seeing they can just go to the Bank of Tax Payers and get more money. I do hope in the future we will have more PPP infrastructure done.

    I found two interesting maps, one that shows the best bus routes in the city to metro stations and what not and the other was somes vision for the Light Rail/Tram for the city (which I think we have all seen). With this map, it looks like the city is well serviced. Tram I still think the city should get a few tram lines and cut down on certain bus routes. I am not sure if people would like that or not.

    Let them extend it North. I still think it would make sense to make the Orange line a loop, but I know that will cost a pretty penny. OT: It is too bad the STM won't extend the blue line west, lets say to Cavendish/Sherbrooke and the same with the yellow line, connect it to UdM, so it can be called the University line. I am still waiting to the SLR/Light Rail be built around Griffintown/Old Montreal/Downtown and other parts of the city (that will probably never happen).

    Thanks. I remember at one point in time, that they were only thinking of being on the NASDAQ. I forgot to check after they launched. Stupid me.
  20. jesseps
    That is good news, now for them to be listed on the TSX!
  21. jesseps
    They are a powerhouse. It is nice to see, that they are forever expanding.
  22. jesseps
    If they stay true to their word and don't change anything that is good. I am going with Lowe's aquiree Rona at a discount because the loonie is quite low. I wonder who else will be bought up this year... Bombardier?
  23. jesseps
    I am not sure what to make of this. I am surprised we would get something like this here. I would have expected it to be either in New York or Paris or London. I guess this can be the Disney World for little girls all over the world.
  24. jesseps
    It would make sense to do that and it would reduce the traffic.

    It sucks to hear that it was blocked. Kirkland may have to raise taxes over the next few years, to make for the loss of revenue that it would have brought.
