Don't believe Matlow wants to build any subway outside his area, or maybe downtown. This is the same person that talked at people on the RT about why public transit dollars shouldn't be spent in Scarborough in anything but some austerity rail.

Haha, perhaps. Though, from another school of thought, the smallest brain gets traffic priority. Tangential, but seemingly every time I'm downtown there are numerous cases of people driving through an intersection when there isn't space and end up blocking traffic the other way.

I think your heart's in the right place, and having one person in a car is worse than more than one, or using public transit, but I think it's important to know why people use single-occupancy vehicles. Personally, I don't think it's because of lack of awareness, but of convenience. There are...

I'll believe transit priority is possible in Toronto when the streetcar routes get it. The Crosstown transit priority plan was made in bad-faith.

Not in the above plans, but I tried the York University Busway once and it seemed quite a bit better than normal street routes.

I was thinking maybe that, too. Though the way qualifiers are commonly used, they can add ambiguity. Also STC is mentioned, so maybe East. Current season of Picard is so much better than the others.

Are you talking about line four extending west from yonge or east from fairview?

Ya, that may be true, but I'd prefer fewer "fill in the tunnels" as possible. Give me the, "ha, you voted for high quality rapid transit and now you'll have to suffer with high quality rapid transit" people.

No doubt you're more understanding of the specifics. I have barely thought about it as I worry that the projects underway are not a guarantee and can always be stopped. Penalosa wanted to stop the extension when he ran for mayor last, for example.

I would not to attempt to guess what the city would look like in three or so decades. I'm sure that a lot of the things we thought would happen thirty years ago happened quite differently. I was just commenting that it seems unwise to make decisions about the future today when things could...

It is absolutely relevant. David Miller is someone that is well-known and lots of people respect. If he is puttting out misinformation, it lowers the quality of any discussion of future action. That is of course unless you believe that lies are not in themselves bad if they lead to the ends you...

This may be the reality, but I'd like for Malvern to get an extension of a line in the future.

Can someone please tell David Miller that the SSE will not have one stop.

No, this is the first I am hearing about this.

1) Would this mean a significant reduction in infrastructure investment or would it mean a longer section to be built? 2) Would this include a linear transfer?

At their closest points, Scarborough is under 9km, Mississauga is under 15km, Vaughan is about 17km. Both the border and a single point tell you some, but not a lot about areas that are so large in area.

Interestingly, Vaughan and Scarborough have the same number of subway stops.

Thanks for crunching the numbers, blacksquirrels. I am pro-amalgamation and I want all of the parts of the city to be better integrated. Goes for the region as a whole, as well. I understand that everyone, including myself, want some projects more than other projects. Someone on Twitter...

Thank you. This is nice to see. Sometimes it seems like all I see is bad-faith and wolf-in-sheep's-clothing arguments. Oh, and I almost forgot, concern-trolling. Cliche incoming: I don't care for many of Ford's moves outside of transit, but if his transit plans are realized, I'd have a...

I am very much pro-Scarborough and I make no effort to hide my biases or what I would like to see changed. I am a bit suspicious of people that doth protest any form of bias too much (no indication here that you'd be included). These are important data points, and I think kilometres of subway...
