ATP tuning seems to be the major way to improve the line.
I said this 5 years ago. I swear the intent of these engineers is for the system to be bad. And yes this statement upsets people but there is no justification for some of these choices. “Overly conservative” doesn’t really follow when you are putting restrictions on a system assuming your failure mode is both normal and emergency breaks fail completely. If we required airplanes to keep flying in the event that both wings fell off air travel would also be slower than driving.
The crazy thing is that KWs LRT is positively speedy compared with the bullshit going on in Toronto.
