I wonder if something like Vancouver's Canada line system would be worthwhile in Toronto. The cost to the taxpayer was, what, 79m/km? That is absurd! We are going to be paying the same price for glorified streetcars along Sheppard. I guess it isn't as high capacity as the full blown six wide body car subways Toronto uses, but I can't help but feel that it is still a much better deal at less than 20% of the per/km cost of the Spadina extension. Instead of building the DRL as uber-subway, build it like this. Crowding could be ameliorated by building relief lines for the relief line. Given how much cheaper the Canada line is than anything that happens here, we could almost afford a Queen subway AND a rail corridor subway.
