Why build subway to MCC if Metrolinx is planning an express train?
The "direct Express Rail link between Mississauga City Centre and Union Station via Cooksville" that they discussed in their November 2008 document "The Big Move".What express train are you referring to?

It does 27 minutes from Union to Hurontario (Cooksville GO) now. Hopefully it's closer to 20 to 25 minutes non-stop to MCC once they electrify and speed up the service. And some trains could stop at Kipling as well ... only 11 minutes from Kipling to Hurontario now ... the subway would take at least 20 minutes from Kipling.That train ride would take 30 minutes or so versus over an hour on a subway.
I think I've mentioned over a hundred times that both upgrading the Milton line and a subway to MCC are needed. They serve completely different trips and different riders and different destinations. I don't understand why that's so hard for people to understand.
If there's an train from Kipling to MCC that only takes 10 minutes, why would anyone want to use the subway ... unless they were travelling to intermediate stops between Kipling and MCC ... though the demand for those intermediate stops seemed pretty low when they last looked at it.I think I've mentioned over a hundred times that both upgrading the Milton line and a subway to MCC are needed.
