Sadly, Toronto is not yet ready to give up subsidizing car culture yet. We will go on living in this bubble until it's waaaaaay too late, as the smart time to implement something was a long time ago.
If you need convincing, look at how we are still humming hawing over King St. Instead of having done what we knew was obvious and inevitable ages ago, we still use half the roadway for PARKING CARS !!! and allow left turns (the simplest, no-brainer, instant, free solution ever)
We will also continue to elect the moronic politicians who support this.
The problem is compounded by the fact that what little we spend on public transit is horrendously misspent on areas that want to keep car culture AND have mass transit service that they don't qualify for ($3.2+ billion for a single subway stop in Scarb and a subway to serve a suburban highway???? )
And just when you think things couldn't possibly get weirder, we have a right-wing mayor proposing inner-city road tolls and being shut down by a left-wing premier to appease car culture right-wing suburbanites
