^ I know. Anyone looking at the convoluted route to the airport will wonder what on earth happened during the planning process. The immovable busway terminal with busses running on pavement could not be moved to make the trip on the LRT rail project more direct.
I can understand that Route 5 needs to be ruled out because many of the busses will be headed south on the 427, but why the busway terminus can't be moved to the south east corner of Renforth and Eglinton is beyond me. Instead of making good use of the hydro corridor they are using up land which could be developed. Ideally the LRT would come down from the airport on Carlingview and dive under the 401 in a straight line surfacing south of Eglinton to connect with the busway terminal and then head east.
Key Word: Under 401 = Tunnel = $$$ = {have you looked at that corner??}
Better still: $$$ = Tunnel in a straight line under the 401, the runways to the terminal from Renforth = Time saving in travel time.
