[/QUOTE]You're missing the point.
The $4.6 billion quote is based on old numbers. That base price for the previous option is no doubt much, much higher now. Just as the $2 billion one stop extension is now $4+ billion.
I see what you're saying now, my bad. However, even then, 4.6 was quoted when the 1-stop SSE was increased to around 3 billion, with the majority of extra costs being attributed to the bus terminal at the STC and the decommissioning and life extension of the SRT. It will easily reach 5 billion, yes, but the STC bus terminal will be much smaller, so that cost can be removed.
Considering that this 3-stop extension would still be longer and less expensive than Yonge North (fewer subway stations), is it really that necessary to hate on it that much?
