I would be really interested in seeing the methodology that led you to this conclusion. Just what kinds of cost savings do you think shutting these stations down would generate? The biggest cost has already been incurred! Cutting back on the costs of energy and occasional cleaning to these stations will not net you a new rapid transit line.I wonder what the cost estimate would be for above grade extension to Roncesvalles, and ParkLawn?
Perhaps we could close up close down Chester, Christie, Museum and other dead stations and use that budget for areas that actually have riders????
Museum may not be the busiest station, but given its extreme proximity to the Royal Ontario Museum there's no way anyone will go for shutting it down. And if you want to go after Museum, which had a daily ridership of 11k in 2018, you'll have to shut down most of the Danforth line while you're at it, as many of those stations post similar numbers.
