sao paulo is one of the 5 worst cities in the world for traffic, great model! Rich people own helicopters so they can fly above the traffic. they have 4 times the people but a smaller metro (km).

For your uninformed information, if you look at either side of Bloor-Danforth, for example, one side was torn down and demolished in the past 75 years: the city could have the cajones in those days to 'set back' the property line 4 or 5 meters at that juncture and allowed for the street to have been '6-laned' Vancouver did. Hamilton did. Sao Paulo did. Silly Hall dropped the ball in the '20s and '30s and only woke up in the '40s when they laid out the freeway map to undo the damage done by previous councils criminal negligence, or just plain laziness. Take your pick.
The subway? You're joking, right? I've been to Sao Paulo (a 3rd world country, right?): there is a subway that works. (Perhaps we just need to learn to scrape the body parts off the train wheels a little faster and shorten up the down time on our precious Metro?)
