Nope, he is both. There is no conflict here. You may not like his bias, but the man usually does a better analysis of the TTC issues than anyone else.
Sheppard was a mistake, and it should have been LRT from the beginning, with about 700m-1km spacings instead of the crud that we're stuck with. If ONLY the TTC listened to him, instead of getting stuck with the stubway.
It's not just that Transfer City is one-size-fits-all, it's that the lines are grafted onto the subway spine in whichever areas politicians felt like gifting transit projects to.
Well at least there is logic to his thought process - that you'll never need a full blown subway on Eglinton, so why waste 100's of millions to allow for a future upgrade that won't be necessary. Even if the upgrade is far enough out, it may be cheaper to not do it now.Proposing that Eglinton be built so that it's NOT upgradeable to subway is possibly the biggest sin that Steve Moronoe could commit, beyond having a hand in creating Transfer City in the first place, and making Sheppard East LRT instead of subway. This guy is seriously pissing me off now. Why is he purposely sabotaging Toronto and the TTC? Hell I'd rip up every single km of streetcar track in this city with my bare hands just to piss him off, and get rapid transit built in the form of SUBWAY, not some pathetic LRT.
