What a sight! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLEeQqwm/?k=1

Or we could have the best of both worlds: one branch terminating at Malvern Town Centre, and another at UTSC.

STC is not just a massive mall, it’s also a transport hub serving a lot of Scarborough’s most important bus routes. And I’m unconvinced by any plans to recreate STC density at Sheppard and McCowan. There is a massive highway separating Sheppard/McCowan from STC, which would make travelling...

It would not cost anywhere near $1B/km if the extension were elevated. The vast majority of transit trips in Scarborough aren't Downtown-bound, and would thus be poorly served by RER. Also, a handful of RER stations isn't good enough to effectively spread rapid transit access across Scarborough.

The Ontario Line extension to Sheppard will have a multiplicative effect on the usefulness of the Sheppard East Extension. With the Sheppard Line extended deep into Scarborough (beyond McCowan), and the Ontario Line extended to Sheppard, I imagine that Sheppard + OL would be a very heavily used...

Also local commercial businesses are a primary driver of ridership.

Planning transit routes based on legacy? Yuck.

I'm really going to miss the 70s style architecture of the SRT stations. Other than that, good riddance and goodbye. (I will have to take a trip to visit all the stations before they shut down. I've still never stepped foot in McCowan station 😂)

The Ontario Line, Scarborough Subway, Eglinton Crosstown, Eglinton West LRT, Finch West LRT are all under construction as of now. GO Expansion ("RER") soon to come.

Moles? Groundhogs? Enormous worms? We have lots of tunnel digging options.

Don't know where else to put this.... Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca promises $1 transit fares if elected

Yes. Toronto knows two things: LRT and big hulking subways. I hope the elevated sections of the Ontario Line will change that.

I hate how right you are. I really hope there's some kind of leadership internally from MX on this issue. If left to their own devices, political leadership will just push this Line 4 extension forward, consequences be damned.

I really love the imposing, sharp angles formed by the glass.

In my opinion this extension needs to travel directly to Scarborough Town Centre. I really see no case for building a Sheppard Line that terminates at Sheppard/McCowan. Scarborough Centre is the major transit and commercial hub in Scarborough. As you said in your previous post, why the heck...

Very broadly speaking, I feel that we need to move discussions on Scarborough away from, "we need to build a subway on Sheppard" to "we need to figure out how to build an effective integrated mass transit system for Scarborough". Recall that the Sheppard Subway came about to solve a very...

Waste of money? We’d take the Line 4 rolling stock, move it to Line 1 and 2 and buy shorter cars for Line 4. Nothing would be wasted.

Given the amount money we’re investing in Scarborough transit, the area should have world-class rapid transit coverage. Everyone in the area should be no further than a short bus away from rapid transit. Instead we’re primed to dump it all into an overbuilt Line 4 extension that’ll only...

We can avoid this by using shorter subway cars that are still compatible with the TTC rolling stock, which should enable greater maneuverability, and perhaps elevation. I suspect. Just putting the idea out there. Without rolling stock more conductive to elevation, this subway isn’t going...

Scarborough very well could’ve had an extensive SkyTrain-like system by now. Our failure to maintain and extend the SRT, along with our choice to go heavy rail on Line 4 are two of my biggest Toronto transit regrets.
