The RT's route makes far more sense. Perhaps we can get an LRT from Midland to Markham and Sheppard with an interchange station at the current McCowan stn at an extension of the BD line, as that's how far away the Subway station would be. The RT would remain for local travel from Malvern to Centenniel, STC, and the Subway and vice-versa. If the RT were extended to Malvern Town Centre it could be a successful route from Midland Station connecting to the Bloor subway at McCowan then on to MTC. With a new station at Brimley.
With a Sheppard LRT spur SOUTH on Midland or Brimely and EAST along the SRT routing to Markham and Sheppard where it can turn back WEST to Don Mills, leaving the least used portions of the line at Midland and MTC with slightly less service.
If only we had the money.
What I'm proposing is a set up very similar to the one we already have, only the RT would pass through the interchange station rather than turning back. I think the development potential and ridership would be very great
