Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
"Nice transit plan you got here - sure would be a shame if something were to happen to it."
I sort of agree that maybe we should look at just doing Eglinton at subway if they're going to keep cutting it back, but I do think we have to look at the operating costs very closely. How much more expensive would annual operating costs be for a subway versus LRT?
Oh, maybe it has something to do with your government promising Moveontario 2020, with no plan on how to pay for it?? Idiots.

... what, you expect Ignatieff to pay for local transit? They guy wouldn't recognize a city bus if it hit him. Nor would his inner circle!The Province's biggest mistake was probably thinking that the federal government would pay for some of MoveOntario. I guess they couldn't have imagined that Harper would be in power for so long.
Maybe they didn't bank on the total cost of the plan ballooning from $6 billion to $15 billion.
Maybe they didn't bank on a global recession derailing provincial revenues.
Maybe they didn't bank on the public being upset about the deficit.
etc.
It's not all the province's fault.

The provincial government decided to defer any discussions on transit revenue schemes until 2013, then they complain the cupboard is bare. It is a fine tale of incompetence.
It is indeed. The backtracking by the Liberals since Smitherman and Bryant left cabinet is amazing.The provincial government decided to defer any discussions on transit revenue schemes until 2013, then they complain the cupboard is bare. It is a fine tale of incompetence.
There will need to be at least a roaming security guard going from station to station.
Also, if it's being stubbed, I don't imagine there being any capacity issue...
I really have to wonder just what has happened in Queen's Park for them to have become so grossly incompetent of late! I've never seen a government become so utterly wishy-washy so quickly before.
