I personally find that there was no merit to the EW Subway outside of the connection to Pearson which would have been the main ridership draw and without it you would essentially be building a Subway to nowhere; at least there's a major shopping centre at the end of the Sheppard Line. Also keep in mind the biggest flaw in the EW plan, which was it didn't go to Eglinton Station so it would serve no purpose for crosstown travel from say Scarborough to Etobicoke. Nonetheless if only 1 line was to be built then then you could make a case for both Sheppard and Eglinton, do you connect Pearson but kill Sheppard, or do you kill Eglinton but connect to STC? In the end we chose neither and payed for it. There's a phrase for what we did; "Screwing the Pooch" and boy did we ever.
