Still can't get over that gaping hole between Yonge and Downsview on Sheppard even with all your improvements.
Can you get over the gaping hole from finch west to finch?

This map is just showing GO REX with the approved and funded LRT lines and subway extensions, with the exception of the Honeydale extension. Yes, on all of my other fantasy maps I have that gap closed.
wouldnt all these added stops on the go lines significantly slow down service and cause 905 people to go into a uproar. Also would these lines have the double decker GO trains or new ones that are better for people standing.
It would slow it down a little bit, but when your frequency is increased 2-3x at least compared to current levels, I think it balances out. Adding a couple minutes to a travel time pales in comparison to the 10s of minutes that people have to wait on the platform or delay their trip start time in order to fit within the schedule.
And they would be using single-decker GO trains. I envision something similar to what the S-Bahn in Berlin uses, which is basically a subway train with somewhat more comfortable seats.

Although it's not well articulated in the media I think that most people including in the suburbs don't really understand what LRT means. But how LRT has been sold to them is "mass transit that displaces road lanes". On the other hand to them subway means "mass transit that does not displace road lanes". I feel that suburbanites aren't against LRT, they are against the concept of LRT or BRT or any other transit initiative that displaces road lanes. This to me is one of the fundamental marketing errors and miscalculations of Transit City. If LRT were planned to layer on top of the existing road network by say using other corridors, grade separated (above or below grade level) etc. there would not be this level of opposition. I'm not advocating for this solution, just pointing out my understanding of the mood of the people.
