About as credible as Canadian Taxpayers Federation as representatives of taxpayers at large.

Just what's UPX? A few trainsets that would be woefully insufficient for that stated task, a few custom build stations with the same issue, and a termini that offers no possibility of extension. Like seriously, TTC Riders are a bunch of hacks.

John Tory and his gang must be smoking some hot stuff.
Interesting.What do you make of this advocacy group that's sprung up - Friends & Allies of SmartTrack (FAST), http://www.fastgta.ca?
A handful of people with no significant transit expertise, possibly connected to Tory, pushing for Smart Track with dubious claims and estimates.

Their phone number doesn't work. It connects to a business called Tar6, apparently.

they are, I guess, the Bay street counterpoint to TTC riders.....proving nothing more than mis-facts at either extreme are not helpfulInteresting.
Jumping to the "Facts about Fasttrack".
Number one:
134 minutes? A quick glance at the current schedule http://www.gotransit.com/timetables/en/PDF/Quicktables/06150915/USTN/UVGO.pdf shows that it's currently 25 to 41 minutes.
- From Unionville to Union Station the current commute is about 134 minutes. On the SmartTrack line: 42 minutes. Less than half the time!
That's just not true. It's only single track up to Stouffville. There's no way that the extra track that is needed is only 10% of the track.
- Approximately 90% of SmartTrack is on existing GO tracks, so it will not displace any existing roadway.
Not sure who is behind it, but with such blatant and obvious lies, I don't see how anyone would take these clowns seriously.

Seems that FAST is related to the NIMBY group opposing jets at the Island airport:
