One can't complain that our LRTs are more expensive than elsewhere, and then complain that there aren't underground connections to the LRT at subway stations, which don't exist elsewhere.We're not very well going to drop the underground connectors to the subway though are we? Lose those and turn the LRT into an on-street connection to the subway and we'll have people howling about the inconvenience, calling LRT streetcars, and tarnishing its already frail reputation in this city.
Look at the new trams in Paris. Typically where these meet the underground Metro stations, there has been no attempt to build an underground tram station. It's just a simple surface stop. If we want to built LRT at cheaper prices, why not simply build an at-surface LRT stop, instead of these planned underground stations at Finch West station, Don Mills station, Kennedy station, Don Mills+Eglinton, etc.?
