Or put in a "Disney World"-like monorail from Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station to Canada's Wonderland and the Cortellucci Hospital. Run under contract for York Region.

Here’s my fantasy map that I would love to see completed by 2040-2045 with minimal expansion needed afterwards but knowing this city it probably wouldn’t come true by 2075. I was lazy to name the Hurontario line stops haha but yes it would be partially integrated into the TTC subway system.

Line 1: Vaughan Metropolitan Centre to Richmond Hill Centre via Union Line 2: Square One to Malvern Line 3: Brampton Innovation District to Markham Centre via Pearson and Downtown Line 4: Pearson to Scarborough Centre Line 5: Walsh to East Harbour Line 6 LRT : Pearson to Finch West Line 7 LRT ...

I was playing with options for the south end of a Jane LRT, alternatives to branching the Ontario Line West and how to tie a Crosstown / Kitchener corridor interchange station and ended up with something I quite like... Should almost certainly be extended down to the OL proper and I can argue either way whether this should be standard or streetcar gauge, but either way it 'feels' like playing to LRTs real strengths with mixed ROW and flexible design,

Ok, here's what I feel a longer-term expansion of Toronto's subway network could (maybe???) look like. Half of this stuff has either already been announced or is currently under construction, but I've added a western and northern extension to Line 3, an extension of Line 6 to the currently under construction Woodbine GO station, and an extension of Line 4 past Line 2 out to UofT Scarborough. I mostly made this map as a graphic design exercise (AHHHHHHH I think I might have some PTSD from trying to get all this stuff to fit and line up), but I also wanted to be as realistic as possible with respect to what might actually happen in the future. Thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated!

This would be awesome if Eglinton were an actual subway.
Also surprised you didn't extend line 2 to Sherway Gardens since that's something that's been discussed in the past.

Great map, you should also show the GO "RER" lines more prominently - Lakeshore (West/East), Kitchener, Barrie, Stouffville. Helps fill some of the gaps in this map!

I remade my fantasy proposal for the streetcar network.
and here is the map from the end of the video:
As an addendum, after making this video I wondered it maintaining the 504B would even be necessary in this scenario. King Street would be served by the 504A between Roncesvalles and Sumach, while the 503 would run on King Street between Queen and Dufferin. The Broadview Streetcar would handle service along Broadview Avenue so what purpose would the 504B serve besides running between East Harbour and Park Lawn via King Street. Perhaps in the scenario we could just do away with the split service on King and just have a basic 504 KING (Dundas West - Port Lands), and the 503 KINGSTON ROAD (Bingham Loop - Dufferin Loop via King Street).

A couple of months ago I made a video talking about Danforth Bus Lines Ltd (and its subsidiary North York Bus Lines) which operated bus service in Scarborough and North York prior to 1954. I decided to make some maps for those older bus services.

Slightly OT: Been messing around with Subway Builder over the last few days. Only US cities at the moment as it pulls census data for residents/workers, but i'm hoping they're able to generate some international maps soon. Someone on twitter generated a Toronto map but I don't know if it's functioning yet.
Anyway, I was playing around with unprofitable heavy rail in Indianapolis. Easy way to kill a ton of time.

I finished recording the audio for my next video; this one about Hollinger Bus Lines which operated bus service in East York from 1921 - 1954. I made a map of the services they ran as of 1952.
Here's a geographic map if you need help visualizing this:

I really like your historical bus/interurban maps! Have you made a map combining all of Toronto's interurban lines at their peak? (I know you've tackled the TSR and the TMR).

I'm waiting until the Toronto map drops officially to pick up the game, personally.

I feel like the Jane LRT doesn't make much sense with frequent Kitchener Line and Barrie Line service. It will be so much faster to go east-west on local transit (or the LRT lines) and then connect to rail services to quickly move north-south.

Im addicted to this game. New york is a blast. Either building it all from scratch or downloading a savegame with the real network recreated
Most of the demand on Jane is north of Eglinton, so it has a lot less overlap with the Kitchener Line. Part of why the Bus Lanes are only going in north of Eglinton. Makes me think they should maybe run some busses on jane to weston and encourage a lot of transfering to the kitchener/up line there and at mt dennis. I bet any future LRT would probably also start at eglinton at least initially if they can include a kitchener line connection
