Is there really anyone on UT who doesn't agree on this?

According to the 2025 "Sunshine" list...

The annual salary disclosures which track the number of public servants earning $100,000 or more revealed that last year Metrolinx paid 118 people with “vice president” in their title, up from 82 the year before.​

The 2026 list comes out in April. (Unless it the list is on Doug's phone.)

A bunch of steel has been erected over the GO Tracks around the area that is South of Jefferson Ave. I believe they are building a safety platform before they start working on the concourse level of the new station.

Lol just wait until YNSE rolls around. You'll have people confused when there is "Line 1 to Vaughan" even though both sides of the line will go to Vaughan. And assuming they say "Line 1 to Richmond Hill" for the other side it will be just as bad because people who are actually going to that part of Vaughan will think they are going in the wrong direction. Or maybe it's not so bad because Thornhill has enough of an identity that people don't casually refer to it as Vaughan.

Vaughan and Richmond Hill are different cities. Both are within York Municipality. When the extension to Vaughan was built, it was called TYSSE (Toronto York Spadina Subway Extension), omitting mention of Yonge and University. Now, most signage refers to the line as Yonge University, omitting mention of Spadina and York. They should at least bring Spadina back, though admittedly only a tiny part of the route from St. George Station to Steeles Avenue actually runs under Spadina Avenue. Calling the extension York instead of Vaugan was was probably done so they wouldn't eventually have to call it Richmond Hill Yonge University Spadina Vaughan Line 1. Maybe they should return to its original name (according to Wikipedia), Toronto Subway.

What does that have to do with some of the Yonge extension stations being partly in the Thornhill neighbourhood of Vaughan (and partly in the Thornhill neighbourhood of Markham).

The line was simplified to Yonge-University last decade. It might look as though it runs partly under Vaughan Road , but it's actually about 250 metres to the north in Cedarvale Park. :)

You'd need only one line.

Which was my proposal here before TYSSE was approved. All you had to do was extend Line 1 from Downsview Park (Sheppard West), east along Sheppard to Line 4.

Then extend Line 4 east to McCowan, where it would curve south and join Line 2 at Kennedy (simply combining the Line 4 and Line 2 extension projects).

And then - no more transfer city! :)

The line serves the flagship campuses of all three of the city's main universities. "University Line" would therefore be apt.
