This thread is on Eglinton-Crosstown. The City of Toronto's contribution to Eglinton-Crosstown costs is precisely $0. It's contribution to the Scarborough subway is higher, but only because the City decided that a funded solution - to which its contribution would also be $0 - was not good enough.The ttc is run and paid for by the city of Toronto. Pickering is not in Toronto
The TTC's operational costs are borne exclusively by the City (a problem in itself), but expansion costs are not.
We are not going to solve our transportation problems with parochial thinking.
As for the suggestion that Pickering is not being served, beyond GO train service and ongoing expansion (15 minute service within 10 years), Metrolinx's planned Durham BRT (not designed but presumably separated like VIVANext) will connect directly to the Scarborough subway expansion.
