How nice for people riding Eglinton in Scarborough or Etobicoke, knowing that other people in the centre of the line are getting a red light-free trip, one that lowers frequency on the surface stretches by limiting crosstown trains.
Well that's not very good reasoning. If you're going to say that, then why not go the next step: "a subway all the way to Pearson Airport? We can't do that because then those travelling Ehglinton Ave in Mississauga might get jealous!" And the folks in Durham might get jealous! And the folks on Lawrence Avenue, etc etc etc. Where does it end? I say Jane Street is as good a place as any to surface.
Would riders be told via announcements or signs that the next train is turning back at Laird? If not, there'll be some awkward crowd movements on the platforms as the people going farther than that all have to move out of the way...or they'll have to transfer to continue on in the same direction on the same line, which is the most irritating kind of transfer.
Have you ever ridden a train or a bus anywhere in the world before? Go ahead and wait at any bus stop in Toronto, you will notice some buses come past with their display saying this bus goes to Leslie, or this bus goes to Woodbine. It's not that complicated. LRT and Subways pretty much everywhere do this too.
