And in your opinion what makes Scarborough less deserving of subway than Vaughan or Richmond Hill, exactly?
I'm not sure if you were asking me specifically, but it's not. It's more deserving, if anything. The Sheppard corridor to McCowan is already more dense than VCC will ever be (at least for the next 25 years)...and larger by far.
I'm from Scarborough (I grew up there). I've always thought the SRT was rip-off for my homeland (yes, I call it that) not to mention deserving of a subway.
The Sheppard LRT fiasco is well...a fiasco.
Any other city of our stature would have already connected a NYCC with a SCC. But more importantly, would not be throwing resources at this LRT line when there already exists an incomplete subway line coupled with buses that are doing as well, presumably, as the LRT will.
The boondoggle won't be seen as having started the Sheppard Line, but as having not finished it and cutting it up.
I said it in an earlier post and I'll say it again: there is no substitute for doing things efficiently and properly.
Plopping down a half-useless LRT line on a corridor where there is a subway line started and ample bussing is NOT efficient and proper.
If they want to put in subway at retardedly incremental baby steps and run buses out in the meantime, by all means, but to thrown down a LRT line in the stead of said buses and call it a day.......what planet am I on?
