What a conspiracy! How dare they gloss over the fact that the system uses linear induction motors. Linear indiction motors change everything. Why doesn't the media get that?

Its just extremely odd that the term LRT was never used to refer to the line before.

You forget to indict the rest of the Toronto media in your little rant.

Im not a fan of the right media. But there suburb bashing is non-existent compared to the Left. The "canned" media is likely trying to change public perception of the RT. It was likely picked up & copied & paste by the by the right media as it had to hijab's and that fits there divisive Politics.

Metroland & the Star is extremely anti Scarborough/anti Suburban Toronto.

Keep throwing shit till it resonates with the Hipster base... yet offer no reasonable solutions to integrate and grow Toronto's suburbs. The more this one sided Political nonsense goes on the more support the subway will get.

Where is the article to build a full LRT network and integrate Sheppard. No let build patch lines with transfers. Because that's really what Scarborough needs & wants. What a joke.
 
It's enough to make me go out and read the Toronto Sun in my car in the driveway, with the motor running..... until my rage at the entitlement mentality of the downtown elite subsides.

Right? Left? Don't be silly.

Just look at the press release by the Toronto Police http://torontopolice.on.ca/newsreleases/33558 which twice refers to it as LRT.

The media just used what was in the press release.

Are you going to claim that the police are in bed with the Toronto Star?

The Star now referring to the Scarborough RT as LRT. They just cant help themselves. Desperation from this ugly establishment. Must be nice to have a Political media giant to wash the minds of Toronto citizens & provide not solutions to integrate and grow Toronto's suburbs with any respect.

It's been called LRT since the beginning of time, just like Vancouver's and the London Dockland's system. In fact, being LRT was the major selling point (build a mini-metro for less than the price of a metro with most of the capacity).

The Advanced in ALRT was mostly for the signalling/train control system which was the major contributor to capacity and is quite standard now on all scales (HRT, LRT, and even buses in a few locations); so no longer advanced equipment.

Ya I've never heard it referred to LRT previously through the media. Always RT.
It certainly doesn't change that all assault and left-wing media bullying of Toronto neglected suburbs by forcing a choppy LRT plan down which they tell everyone is great. It's not.
It gets tiring when a specific area of Toronto get to write the narrative as to which outsiders believe to be the full truth & these outsider areas need a polarizing nut bag Mayor just to acknowledge this blatant disrespect.
Scarborough is not Vaughan. It has triple the population. It's not even a subway to nowhere as I keep hearing since it will be the next phase of a useful loop & will serve the area. Sure there are much better options but they don't include cheaply design, cheaply funded, transfer patches.

Since nothing useful or faily integrated has been tabled. Subways it is

If you're gonna dismiss Canada's largest newspaper, that's read by 82% of Torontonians, as only looking after a certain part of the city, then I guess Toronto must have a lot of hipsters.

The SRT is also an Intermediate Capacity Transit System.

Transit definitions are so disjointed that it's best not to get hung up on them. It is what it is.
