My Toronto does not include entitled downtowners.
Both of you are being pathetic. Just stop.

For those transferring at STC today, the bus ride will be exactly same length. That's not everyone, but that's the largest group of riders.
Savings:
- 3 to 4 min due to the three stops the SLRT would have and the subway won't;
- Say, 3 to 6 min for walking from the SLRT platform to the subway platform, dependent on how fast they can walk;
- 3 to 5 min for not waiting for the train twice (first SLRT then subway, or vice versa).
So, total is 9 min at worst, 15 min at best.
I don't know why you're guesstimating when City Planning and TTC have already said that best case scenario (aka trips to/from STC) will have a maximum time savings of 8 minutes via the Scarborough Subway. 15 minutes is your wishful thinking that has no bearing on reality.
It paid 1/3 of of the cost os construction within York. The rest is provincial and federal money that could be used for a project with higher ridership.
Plus, TTC will have to pay all operating expenses of the subway in Vaughan.
If you want a paper that won't criticize the SSE, you're left with the Sun, I think. I don't know if the Post even has a transit reporter now but Oliver Moore has written stuff for the Globe similar to Ben Spurr and Jennifer Pagliaro for the StarHate is too much in this case. But I can guarantee that I will never buy The Star, never subscribe for it, and most likely will avoid reading them online.

This rally is one of the rare time many of the "residents" will ever visit Scarborough. Atleast there wont be any traffic on the drive home
Gil Penalosa, former mayor of Bogota in charge during their BRT transformation is speaking.
He is calling out GDB large time.
"Let's talk apples to apples. We have 3.5 billion dollars. We can have a 1 stop subway, or a 20-stop LRT that covers every part of Scarborough. This subway is going to cost each man, woman and child in Toronto $1,300 dollars. My question is how can we justify that we don't revisit the subway. Council agreed to $2 billion subway, now with 5% of the EA done it is $3.5 billion. Why doesn't council revisit this decision and discuss what can be done with $3.5 billion dollars."
I guess Rainforest is one of those "real people", therefore he knows better. Who cares about the actual findings from city staff and the new Ryerson study when you can listen to him.
