No, my statement is based on actual facts.
We do not have transfer free solutions to other City Centres unless you happen to be on one of those lines.
Your logic is absolutely absurd. If we factor need into the equation, residents in-and-around Sherway deserve a subway connection before Scarborough does, as they currently have nothing but bus service - or do their tax contributions not mean anything?
What about the Etobicoke Civic Centre?
How about residents all over Ontario, who's tax dollars fund Toronto transit expansion? I guess they all have a legitimate gripe too?
Here is a fact directly from a city of Toronto report:
"6% of all trips that begin in Scarborough end in the downtown, of those, 66% are made using transit "
That would seem to indicate a DRL would be very beneficial to Scarborough residents heading to the downtown core.
Absurd is comparing SCC to Sherway both geographically, current density and more importantly intended use. Everything else has been said and your facts are based around the current inadequate network which deters Scarborough from downtown to begin with
Also by your own fact maybe 3 to 4% (66% of 6%) of Scarborough residents will benefit from the DRL at best. Way lower than even i thought which proves my point of why Scarborough doesn't gain the benefits you are trying to tell us.
Anyway. All we can do is vote.
