St Clair West Transportation Masterplan

[Monarch Butterfly]

Would it? How many GO stations do you anticipate on that line between Kipling station and a station at Jane? How many between Jane and Weston?

Streetcars aren't for longer distance services. For that build subway and RER-like services.

The longest tram route is The Kusttram (Coast Tram) service that operates along the Belgian coast from Knokke in the north to De Panne in the south – a distance of 68 km (42 miles).

I know this is off topic. But too bad the St Clair ROW couldn't be extended from Gunns loop to Scarlett Rd as part of a bigger Master Plan. Maybe even past Scarlett to Dundas, but that's dreaming.

I can still see it happening, possibly looping at a Lambton Station on the Milton-Midtown GO LINE.

I would take a bus over the St Clair streetcar with its dismal average speed any day.

St Clair gets a lot of hate, but honestly I find that it moves fairly fast. The replacement buses are typically terrible in comparison.

Agreed. It could be way better but I choose the ride from Line 1 to Gunns over a Line 2 +bus which might be 5+ minutes faster
