A Sheppard Subway will become the “gravy train” because of Rob Ford and his followers. If it is built, the operating subsidizes will be high. Unless the TTC gets increased operating subsidizes from the city, province, AND federal governments, which other jurisdictions in the world get to operate their underground electric railways (if there is no other revenue coming in like from real estate holdings like in some Asian cities) from, we can expect big losses in operating the line. Unless the city is able to ignore the NIMBY’s and history that the TTC has experienced with its current suburban stations to build it and ignore the operating costs.
Ford wants the TTC to be financially efficient. How can it be if it has to operate Rob's "gravy train", while ignoring a more financially efficient transport option of light rail?
