By the same token, why spend a couple billion more (for subway) just to get another 5-6kph?
-it would be an extra 10 kph compare to buses
-Two major town center linked by rapid transit eliminating unnecessary transferts from Downsview to STC.
-Bus 190 can be cancel and the buses can be use on other routes.
-Lrt to morningside??? nuff said...
-The line as is outperforms 4 of chicago's line that are 4X longer and have 4X more station that goes downtown
-Metrolinx wanted a rapid nothern crosstown...Sheppard East LRT is anything but rapid transit
You know what...let's built nothing. Let's built LRT all over the city who will feed more commuter to a subway network that is already saturated.
The more I look at it, the more it seems Torontonians are the reason why their city is not greater on an international scale. Torontonians continue to absorb any crap that deconnected mayors and councillors feeds them and they claim to be a first class city. Not with a network like this, filled with gaps and non sense transfert.
I live on Sheppard West and use the Sheppard Corridor and looking at the empty Sheppard-Yonge plateform makes me sick. It was built that big because someone believed that it would attract the commuters to justify its construction. Who would have thought NYC would be it's own downtown? STC keeps on getting bigger.
Then I won't post on this anymore. When network collapses Torontonians will have only themselves to blame. Any 1st class city would laugh at our network like Willowdale councillor said.
I did my part, I emailed the media so they could questions the project. Others wrote letters to future candidates for mayor and other started petition.
And you know what. I take back what I said about Richmond Hill. They deserve their subway WAY more than we do.
