I think it's safe to say that if you're going to spend the billion or so it would cost to build a rail tunnel to/through MCC, then that line is going to be frequent and electric.
Think about it another way... build a subway line between Kipling and MCC, but then run those trains express to downtown Toronto via the rail corridors in order to ensure sufficient capacity (the BD line is already extremely busy) and decent travel times.
Sadly, Metrolinx's The Big Move does not call for any high-capacity rail service to MCC. Just the busway and the Hurontario LRT. Frankly, without a proper rail connection to the rest of the GTA, I don't think that MCC will ever become a focus for office development.
You know that’s one thing I never got with Metrolinx and the Ontario Government. They invested so much on a subway to Vaughan City Centre or whatever it’s called but how bout MCC. It is already an established City Centre yet there are no current plans to provide it with a higher order of transit to Toronto. That’s of course if you consider the bus-way and LRT rapid........but let’s not go there. I would thought that the Eglinton Line whether its LRT, light metro, or full subway, could of had a branch like originally displayed in the TC display boards. One branct that would head towards MMC and the other branch to the Airport.
