Wtf, these videos are so high quality, informative and entertaining.
SimCity 3000 music? What a wave of nostalgia
was just writing a comment about the same thing!
Last summer I went back to my hometown Guangzhou China to visit my family. what they surprised me is that they have their first metro line in 1997 which is only 16 km long. however, after almost 23 years developing, now, they have 14 lines 512km long metro system. I'm so surprised that they invested a lot of money on city construction. and they keep investing now.
Thats the main advantage of a communist country
@@Paul3117 which it brings a huge convenient to the society. People are allow to move comfortable and fast. Now they are testing the autonomous driving buses and taxis.
Toronto could use a channel like this to summarize our many botched attempt subway/rapid transit projects that have happened over the years.
Why don't you start one?
dentrobate54 I’d suggest RMTransit, not exclusively Toronto focused but there’s a lot of GTA content
Its à shame the boring tunnel machine was no significant projects 1-connect blue line to greenline via Honoré Beaugrand 2-connect orange Line in a loop from Côte Vertu to Momonrency Laval 3 extend blue line West to NDG 4 prolong the greenline west and east and last but not least make a few stations in Longueuil
I've been loving these video! Keep it up. One quibble. Busses are cheap to build and the initial infrastructure for them is cheap, but they're not cheaper to operate. Fuel, unionized drivers' wages and maintenance are more expensive than running an underground metro when you look at the long term and when you measure the cost in terms of how many people are transported. Montreal's 4 metro lines move almost as many people every day as our nearly 200 bus lines. Over 50 years, it has saved us huge amounts of money.The five stations of the blue line will likely serve more people than the individual REM lines on a daily basis. Part of the problem here is that we choose to build gigantic, overengineered, cavernous metro stations with far more capacity than they need when we could be building less elaborate stations that do the job.
Do you mean this point? ruclips.net/video/zRolvdyObhY/видео.html
Looking at the STM financials over the last few years I wouldn't really point to the metro as cheap to run vs a bus. Because the stations are all fully staffed, require (expensive) maintenance and have drivers on all the trains it's not like it's a one-easy-payment situation at all. The REM will be interesting though because it actually could achieve the low costs of operation that you mention per passenger mile.
However, this video really is specifically taking issue with the common phenomenon of light rail networks that basically just run with bus capacities and largely on roads. It's the tendency for cities to build expensive things when a bus is fine that I'm calling out.
@@PaigeMTL I think you're 100% correct on the problem with non-grade separated modes like the modern tramways. And the Montreal metro probably costs more than it needs to. Considering the trains are all run automatically except for the yellow line, they don't really need drivers. The stations are probably more expensive to run than they need to be, because they're way too big. I think we should build metro stations like New York, with access via street-level stairwells and elevators and more compact vestibules, rather than some of the gigantic cathedrals we've built thus far. As much as I love the unique station architecture here, we could also be much more utilitarian and opt for standardized building materials for new lines, which would reduce the cost of construction and maintenance in the long term. The Paris metro, for example, uses the same ceramic tile in almost all stations and manufactures the tiles in a factory dedicated for that purpose.
A good article on this point: www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-canadas-soaring-subway-construction-costs-need-to-get-back-on-track/
You also made a good point on the correct use of the modern tramways with the Notre-Dame East corridor. Tramways have been very effective in European suburbs and small cities where they don't cross car traffic. They attract non-captive transit users (ie. upper-middle class car owners) in a way that busses don't.
LRTs are an interesting middle-of-the-road option between bus/trams and heavy metro lines, but it is important to remember that they don't carry as many passengers as the heavier-gage metro trains. That's why I think the blue and orange line extensions are good projects, just as the pink line would have been. The REM will likely be an adequate suburban commuter line, but I wouldn't want to see that technology used to supplement the central city metro lines. We will need a proper downtown relief line at some point.
BRTs can be a good solution, but their capacity is much lower than other mass transit solutions. Ottawa mostly grade-separated Transitway, for example, was so saturated that peak hour had jam-packed busses passing every minute. They needed a subway.
great editing my guy
Thanks just finally getting up to speed on DaVinci Resolve, the last few vids were a little rough while transitioning from Premiere... Sorry
Paige Saunders I prefer the Adobe suite as well but Resolve is free and the best for colour correcting/grading. Do you work in post-production or do you only do it for youtube?
I've done animations and graphic design professionally over the years, but this is the first time I've brought my eclectic experience together
Busses with dedicated lanes are great, when they opened the Trans Val-de-marne in france, it cut the transit significantly and provided a stable link between south and east Paris.
The Sauvé BRT is supposed to open this year, it's been very fast to build so I'm wondering if it's more of a bus lane.
It’s a little bit more. Call it BRT-light.
The problem there is technical: Sauvé St and Côté-Vertu Blvd are very narrow.
So they’re going to heroically squeeze as much as they can from those roads.
It may be less rapid but it can help the line be more frequent and efficient.
An acceptable compromise that could actually be a model for the other frequent lines, Park and Côte des Neiges for example.
The solution is to also make a real BRT on Henri-Bourassa. Which is beautifully wide and could easily be upgraded.
You should do a updats for 2021-22 love it
Herbie!!! I feel like a kid again 😊
thoroughly enjoyed the red alert theme music
Love your stuff... Weirdly, I enjoy hearing you mangle French place names... I tuned in to hear what random thing you would do with "Pie IX"... but it was spot on... but found one... @05:59 "Anjou" ... not Joe... it should sound more like Jew, but that soft french "j" ... kind of zeddy... like "shoe" with a lisp. Anyways, the content is insightful and delightful.
I fear the upgrading of mains and sewers may very well herald as-yet-uncloaked tower blox w a y beyond midtown or the Village ::shudder::
I remember back then (well, around 2000).
Pie IX was a pain in the ass if you had to turn left.
Love your videos man!! Informative and great editing
Thanks man, I want to respect your time so it's important to me that I make every second worthwhile.
Excellent
Love these videos. You should be getting many more views soon!
Jeeze man, these things take 100s of hours. I think I'd fall apart if I made any more. See how shitty the thumbnail is? That's your telltale sign the tank was empty :)
Paige Saunders keep these up! I share them with my friends every time now!
The SRB project is great and all and on paper bus lines and such are the fastest to build, however they’ve been at it for almost 20 years…
The bad thing 😂😂😂😂
Short version ,they are building an express lane for byses
Ok I have to disagree on the blue line being quiet ? Maybe between Jean-Talon and Saint-Michel but during peak hours the blue line is completely filled with workers and students from Jean-Talon to Edouard-Montpetit and Université de Montréal.. Less since the pandemic but it will go back to that soon I suspect.
Mr. Saunders, when are Patreon videos released on RUclips?
I try to release things on Fridays, Patrons get it anything from a week to an hour early. I just put it up for Patrons as soon as I can.
Lmao what's the Transmilenio doing in the 4:32
Great video as always dude, wish I'd subbed earlier!
i love your videos but what is your accent? New Zealander and Canadian?
"We can build roads." HAHAHAHAHAH GOOD ONE ! MY BACK HURTS IN MY HONDA FIT #NidsDePoule
I'm worried that they will justify the lack of fast transit such as metro station and REM in the north of Montreal by saying that they built the SRBPIE9. Sure buses are good but let's be honest now it's not the same thing. Montréal-nord is always getting screwed.
The REM will be open before around the same time as the BRT 😅
*Part of the REM
The REM is set to open completely by the end of 2023. Lets see who wins!
The proposed Pink Line isn't necessary. Take a look at the current Metro map and you will notice that by simply extending the Blue Line westwards from the Snowdon terminus through NDG, Ville St. Pierre, and Lachine, and from the eastern St. Michel terminus into districts of the northeast part of the island, that essentially the same result will be achieved as that of a pie-in-the-sky Pink Line which would cost billions and that the provincial government has no interest in financing. Furthermore, anyone paying attention can see that the empty lot that already exists adjacent to NDG's Elmhurst bus terminus and the Montreal West train station is the obvious location for an eventual Metro station link. How much longer will the public have to wait until this becomes a reality? 2050? 2090?

Finally
Bruh they should just make everything a bus , easy simple and cheap 😫💅🏼
Hot take: the stm metro should be automated (why tf is no one talking about this?!?!)
the movie scene comes from which movie????
I think you're talking about Herbie Goes Bananas? It was one of 5 VHS tapes my grandparents owned. Along with this knockoff Aladdin and 2 star wars films taped off TV.
Paige Saunders thx mate
Bottom line: a Pie-IX metro would have been glorious. BRT isn’t sexy, but at least we get it soon.
But we can’t wait for another memorandum to analyse the feasibility study for the opportunity to do an impact assessment on the possibility of reading the tea lives and seeing where the wind blows in the fullness of time...
And if it’s too busy (probably!) then build another on H-Bourassa. Then another on Lacordaire, then on St-Michel, then on Langelier...
Then we get amazing surface installations and frequent/efficient service that will never go to waste.
And if by some miracle that beautiful diagonal pink line gets built (keep the dream alive, Val! 🌸), it still will be complimentary to the lovely BRT grid.
Buses are awful.
Awfully cost effective
Drivers will watch the REM speed past them as they're stuck in traffic. Exo trains often move much faster than cars at rush hour. Sure, between intersections the SRB will be faster, but SRB buses and cars are going to be stuck at the same traffic lights. Outside of rush hour, buses will probably be even slower than cars.
Crossing into the median of a busy street for a dedicated bus lane is not a comparable offer to a completely grade-separated network, and I doubt it will have much of an impact on converting people from car to transit.
The REM is miles away from Pie IX, they're not going to watch it do anything. The lights are being configured to automatically give green lights to buses. You'd cross into the middle of the street if it was light rail too. Are you open to the possibility of buses being a good option sometimes?
@@PaigeMTL Buses are a good option for low density neighbourhoods in order to connect people to (rail) rapid transit. Nobody leaves their cars just to switch to a bus in the next lane. They should have built the white line in the 1980s instead of taking 40 years to put a bunch of bus shelters in the centre lanes of boul. Pie-IX.
@@cynthiakazmierzski8144 the student crisis in 2012 hundreds of millions in the garbage that could have paid your downpayment for a white line also hundreds of millions are beeing spent for elevators and no public toilets is à shame with the covid pandemic
