^ I think the 21,000 "passengers" includes both directions. Usually with ridership numbers they count every ride, not the person. But I could be wrong. I don't think this Kipling station should proceed. They should really push to get East Mall made into a subway station. I feel that a terminal further west at East Mall (lol that sounds funny) would be ideal. And definitely with a street-level presence on Dundas (not that there's much there lol).
It might be too ambitious, but at least they're talking about it, because it kinda changes the whole ball game. We could keep Kipling as is, and just extend the subway to East Mall and build a whole new regional terminal there. Islington would still have to be downsized, but parking could be gained at East Mall to replace the parking lost at Islington (and not have to put a commuter lot at Westwood, which I think is too far away).
