It's the Toronto Experience. Good transit in general, bad rapid transit coverage, but amazing capacity limits!

I would not jump to that conclusion at this time. It is one of those things that you have to wait and see.

In case this flew under the radar, Quebec City is getting their own "Crosstown"

It does not go to their airport, which makes me scratch my head. Also how come their planning is so much shorter?In case this flew under the radar, Quebec City is getting their own "Crosstown"

They started a bus service to the airport recently. They opened the door to future phases reaching the airport. As for the planning process, just proves that we have a problem in Ontario. The Montreal REM planning was crazy fast and they are starting construction as early as this month.
The Relief line wasting half a decade in planning is utterly unacceptable.

But at least it connects to VIA HFR
Actually, it does not, unfortunately. Gare du Palais isn't going to be connected to the LRT / tramway de Québec.

Even the crosstown took years to plan

It will start construction in 2022, 4 years from now. That's arguably half a decade right there. Also, let it be known that they're not building one of the most complicated subways in the world under a huge downtown core that's crossing 3 subway lines. They're building a simple LRT line with a cut and cover tunnel. There is no comparison.

Yes people here and elsewhere can't wrap their heads around the fact that the DRL south will be THE most technically challenging transit project in the history of the city.

Planning in Ontario is slow on purpose, so that the government can delay when it needs to provide the actually money for projects.

Pardon my ignorance, how does the Crosstown cross the Don Valley， on a bridge? Is there any picture or rendering of it?

Both east and west legs in the middle of Eglinton on the existing roadway/bridge.

The airport does 1.6 Million people, 600,000 people less than Billy Bishop in Toronto. It would be nice to have it going to the airport, right now there is no need.
Put the money into getting people from where they live to work and school today.

Should have been 7 segment for Crosstown too.
