Remember back to earlier this year; the only reason DRL started to get momentum after all these years, is that people saw 3 numbers; the current number of passengers at Bloor-Yonge; the future predicted numbers with the Yonge Extension; and the future predicted numbers with both the Yonge Extension and the Danforth-Yonge leg of the DRL. It was that crystal clear information that started to change people's minds about the priority of the first DRL leg.
