This is hilarious, the lengths you people will go to support a subway extension for Yonge but bash any subway in Mississauga. I don't evne support a subway in Mississauga, at least not a Bloor extension, but this is gettign ridiculous.
We could say the exact same thing about any form of mass transit.
Since all of Mississauga is not "walkable," we can take that idea a step further and trash all local transit in Mississauga and in all suburbs.
Yes, we all know condo towers are automatically unwalkable and that Hurontario is lined with condos.
Wow, i thought you said ridership is not important. Now suddenly it is.
Of course, density must not be important since Mississauga is denser than York Region. Mississauga also almost twice the ridership as York, so we really shouldn't consider that either.
But wait a minute, how does Hurontario, a route that does not connect to the subway, have the highest ridership in the 905 (according to the statistics) if walkability is so important (according to Hipster Duck) and if density is not important (according to scarberiankhatru)? I think you guys can come up with lots of reasons for this or at least come up with other double standards.
A subway - which I think we define as a tunneled, urban heavy rail system - is pretty much only effective in an urban environment where the immediate surroundings are walkable.

A string of condo towers along a suburban arterial like Hurontario does not fit this description.

Density is not the best way to determine where rapid transit should be placed: ridership is the best way.
