To think that Scarborough-Eglinton merged Crosstown used to be on the table...
SkyTrain > LRT > Subway
---Based on 2006 report, SkyTrain is better than transfer LRT is better than Subway.
Scar-Eg. LRT > LRT
---Based on 2012 report, connected Eglinton-Scarborough LRT better than transfer LRT.
Based on government's own studies, the 2 worst options are the B-D extension and the transfer LRT.
The only things left to study were whether;
- the connected Scarborough-Eglinton line should have been SkyTrain or LRT.
- the connected Scarborough-Eglinton line could have had cost lowered to retain the benefits (by maintaining grade-separation), but reduce the costs (i.e. by elevation).
- the Scarborough line could have found another continuous route to Yonge (i.e. Gatineau Hydro corridor and Don Valley to downtown).
