You miss-spelled removing stops. It already has 1 too many.
You misspelled 'misspelled'. Or maybe you were being ironic.

I live in the west end and commute in and don't even bother with a Metropass.. I bike 3-4 days a week..
Metropasses really make sense for suburban commuters more than anyone.
I think there would be a listening ear at Metrolinx if TTC wanted to assume the UPX project and responsibility for its operating deficits.Anybody else think this line should be a part of the TTC network? Line 6 - Airport Express
What they could do is treat it like any other TTC rapid transit line with a $3 fare/monthly or weekly pass/transfer to enter the line, with an asterisk on the map *$10 Surcharge required upon arrival at Pearson Airport.
I think $13 is very affordable for the line and I'd definitely take it, especially if there was an easy transfer onto the line from other TTC services.
By splitting the payment method into two parts, it makes the fare seem cheaper because optically it's like it's "only $10".
It'd seem much better than running trains empty all day @ $29.
Sure. We all believe that.It does not reflect concerns about the UPX ridership to date, said Metrolinx spokeswoman Anne Marie Aikins.
I wish we would just change the downtown John St. to something else. That (pedestrian bridge) confused the heck out of me yesterday until I saw a version that mentioned the Weston Tunnel. Let Weston, if they choose, keep their "Prostitute's Client Street"
But with the fares the way they are, not many people are willing to do that.
Not intentionallyI used to live in Weston. Right around the corner from John Street was a bar. It seemed every other time I'd come home late on a Friday or Saturday night from downtown, there were women fighting outside of it, in the street. Are these the people you're referring to?

If they did this, how much would they need to increase service to meet demand? Would they need to buy more trains or longer trains?
(besides all of the political issues)
^add in the need to extend platforms (at least one of which is a real challenge to do so) to serve those longer trains that the demand created.
I have now taken multiple trips on it....and I have the opposite reaction/opinion....if you are travelling between Pearson to the DT core....why use anything else?They should have made this service a part of GO or something instead of hyping it up so much by creating a division for it with it's own president. I think the price would have been more reasonable without all this. The price is not really competitive and with services like Uber, why would I use this?
