My issue is that if the province did assume ownership of the subway, are they going to keep TTC fares or are they going to charge fares by distance and let the City subsidized the buses and streetcars? I think if they did that there's going to be a transit crisis in the City of Toronto

Actually Options 1, 2B, and 2C needs to be merged as well just for long-term purposes.

In Sweden recently, people were outrage at a Islamic private religious school in Stockholm where girls were directed at the back door of a school bus while the boys use the front door. That same Islamic private religious school was publicly funded by the Swedish government...

Nope! Not a chance by a long shot

Then subways, LRTs and Busways will be charge with a Fare by distance model if its owned by Metrolinx

In order to do that extension, Seneca King City needs to have a major expansion of the campus, it would require for the province the remove the percentage cap of degrees that's offered in college and the elimination of tuition for both domestic and international students

In order to do that, Metrolinx and GO needs to abandon its downtown focus mentality and start thinking to provide service across the GTHA.

Yes, but only one which is Tallinn, Estonia. However its only free if you're a resident in Tallinn. http://www.tallinn.ee/eng/freepublictransport/

After the spadina extension is operational, years down the road, I won't be surprised if York region wants the TTC to extend the line from VMC to Vaughn Mills and Wonderland (seasonal only).

Would it be more expensive if they extend the subway north of finch at grade (on surface) rather than extending it underground?

Question: Would the cost of the DRL 'long' will drastically reduce if the labour force and the construction itself were fully automated?

I don't think Metrolinx is up to the task. The reason is that in the eyes of Torontonians, 15 mins for RER is considered infrequent. In other words, in order for RER (as an alternative to DRL) to work RER needs TTC subway level frequencies and also to implement TTC fares within Toronto. The...

Tornoto as in the context of the GTHA or just the City of Toronto (To bring back the fare zone between old Toronto and the inner suburbs)?

Its much more accurate to say Neoliberals rather than Liberals. I'm just sayin

Because, 1.) Most transit systems around the world were already designed for the use of fare by distance or a hybrid model since public transit was implemented long time ago. 2.) In Canada and the U.S.A. alone, we have the 'automobile' culture. To them (in Canada and the U.S.A), the automobile...

If city council or the province decided to extended the Yonge line to Richmond Hill before the DRL, then there's going to be a transit crisis for sure.

Then years later, York Region will also begin demanding the McCowan North Extension up to Markville Mall. And the politicans will bow down to them and give them a subway.

Right now in the GTHA, there are about 11 different transit systems with different fare systems. However, I think Metrolinx proposal to implement a fare by distance policy will result in a disaster, because 1.) It will discourage a lot riders especially among the lower income. 2) It will have...

10 % fewer drivers for the next 15 years! That's a huge expectation for Halifax

There's going to be a point in the future when Metrolinx cannot keep up with the maintenance costs for parking
