This is the worst strawman argument I've seen yet. So just because the bus is green and runs on 407 corridor, it must therefore be lower frequency than a red bus that runs on Finch corridor? Give me a break. The frequency will be adjusted to meet demand, regardless of the colour of the bus.
I fully expect it will connect to the Spadina subway extension (you know, the one with a station called 407 Transitway Station... could that be a hint?) Will provide easy access to Jane Street as a result. And the frequency will go up to meet demand (which right now is very low).
Your BRT idea is a solution in desperate search of a problem.
TTC + BT + GO = $10 (with GO POP), $10.60 (without) to $11.10 (paying TTC cash instead of token)
TTC + GO = $7.60 - $8.10
TTC + BT =
$5.50 - $6 flat
Which would you rather? The TTC is adamant that it will not enter into a fare integration agreement with GO Transit because they are not getting the full value out of every Twin Pass (dual GO/TTC monthly pass-holding) customer. Breaking it down to a per ride fare schema would incur the TTC further lost revenue.
GO operates the service "frequently" only during rush hour, to do it outside peak hours would lose
them money for only carrying a handful of pphpd. Things like fuel costs adds up when there's less occupants to pay for the trip. Notice people don't live beside highways, several occupied apartment buildings front the F.H.C. with multiple more within 3 mins walk of it. There's also 14 regularly scheduled intersecting routes in-between Humber College and Yonge St wherein commuters can interchange on and off at their leisure. The layover at 407 Transitway Stn, will also tack on roughly 5 minutes to any commute from exiting the 407, front-door only unloading and reloading wherein the driver must manually stop to check everyone's fare, reentering the 407 and exiting again at Yonge Street. At roughly two minutes interval for the subway, assuming one's lucky enough to catch of one the infrequently scheduled north-of-Finch inbound trips, it'd still take close to 10 minutes to backtrack from Langstaff Stn to Finch Stn. So suddenly your purported 20 minutes has realistically become 36 minutes, favorable conditions permitting.
F.H.C. meanwhile would travel relatively traffic free for about 10 kms from Yonge St to just east of Weston Road or 25 mins. The road-median section of the line through Etobicoke with similar stop spacings as FWLRT would be another 10 mins, matching the duration of the GO Transit trip but with less transfers and layovers and will end up costing less. Brampton's Zum BRT network will run along Steeles Avenue passing by the Bramalea GO Stn and terminating at Humber College. Assuming optimal conditions in reserved lanes, the 7km trip from Bramalea GO to Humber College would only take 12 mins and cost no more than the local bus taken to ride there. So 47 mins direct, with simple platform interchange at Humber. Not bad, in my book.
Under a fare by distance schema wherein the operation of trips are tied directly into peak demand times only, it is never advantageous for the casual public transit user to rely on premium vs. regular transit operations. Furthermore the BRT has and always will have far more mutability than LRT, because its alignments are not confined to where the tracks are laid. Beyond Humber College, BRT would have greater flexibility in branching services into Malton and down the 427 into Southern Etobicoke. Or up the 27 into Woodbridge (likewise it'd be possible for VIVA Orange buses to branch direct Vaughan-Humber College service). On the eastern end, lines can radiate down to Don Mills Stn easily, to Malvern Town Centre and into Beaver Creek/Markham without the long construction delays, superflurous aggrandizements and funding issues associated with railed transit. Does BRT cost $12 billion? No. Will it only benefit a few select corridors? No. Is it capable of making both crosstown and interregional travel both more affordable and more reliable for average transit users... with near identical cost, time, labour, social and environmental benefits as LRT? Yes. So sorry again, if you're still under the misconception that I only spew BS.
