Merry Christmas from Transit City!

[Dan416]

Quelle surprise that some people don't believe in the existence of the Sheppard Subway. Clearly it's some kind of myth, like Santa Claus or bed bugs.

Sheppard is a small side street located south of Queen St W between Bay and York. It's a terrible place for a subway!

And Merry Christmas from Rob Ford!

Are you naive enough to believe that Transit City would fix your picture???

If that was one of the routes TC was running along it would. You could lay track in that grass median and a single set of 3-car LRTs as planned on Eglinton could probably accomodate every person in that picture. There is probably about 220 people in that picture.

I like the underground part of Eglinton and it's like Montreal's Metro

How many of these 220 people would abandon their cars to take an LRT on Sheppard?
Way less than you might think

When oil surpasses $150-$200 a barrel, they WILL unless they're all millionaires living it up in 905

Says who? you?

Funny that gridlock INCREASED despite oil getting more expensive over the years...
Sorry Amy but LRT won't get enough people out of their cars to reduce gridlock.

Getting people out of their cars has nothing to do with BRT vs LRT vs HRT. It has to do with how any particular rapid transit is built. And suffice it to say, the Transit City plan for Sheppard is terrible, for Eglinton is pretty good, for the SRT (not really part of TC) is awful, and for Finch was good but half-baked (only on Finch West). Don Mills is a toss-up depending on whether you believe it should be integrated into a DRL or not.

The added transit capacity from Transit City can absorb much, much more than anything illustrated in that picture.

Until they arrive at Yonge Street.

It's not so much that people kept on using their cars, but that more people are living in the city. You also only point out the past to present- oil has not reached $150-200 dollars yet.

Ford plans to have all highways run in 1 direction? Well, that's one way to help with rush hour
