Saying transfers are inconvenient is a fact.
Saying, without evidence,, that the majorityof suburban residents are whites fleeing the downtown core, is emotion driven trolling.
My goodness. You just keep wanting proof for this one statement. Ok lets say for the argument that I am wrong. I apologize.
Now at the same time we must acknowledge that there will always be transfers even linear transfers.
Now that we are done with that can we get realistically answering some questions.
1. How are we going to pay for this (especially in a climate that is anti tax)
2 what will this lines ridership numbers be
3 after paying for the line how much is each rider going to be subsidized
4 considering other lines such as finch west are anticipated to have higher ridership numbers should I expect those lines to be converted to subway as well
5 what is the time frame that this line will be complete or that you are willing to wait for this to be completed. Are you willing to wait until 2050 for instance?
6. Perhaps is there better ways to service the city with less costly projects
I really am looking for legitimate answers to these questions. I don't need a lecture on how politics work. Yes todays world is very different than the past but past behaviour is a good indicator of future behaviour. In other words if these political parties have rarely stepped up in the past it would seem unwise to think that they are going to have a completely different tune going forward.
