As pointed out elsewhere, some of those numbers are fictional.So they spent the most money on the stations that will get the fewest number of riders. Incredible.

And it is! They guaranteed a comfortable, peaceful ride. Last time I took it to Pearson, it was standing-room only. Clearly then a failure!I have watched the same silly discussion here about what a failure UPX is.

Starting on January 7, 2018, adult, senior, youth and student TTC riders will pay a TTC fare of just $1.50 when they use a PRESTO card to transfer to or from GO Transit or the Union Pearson Express.
I have watched the same silly discussion here about what a failure UPX is. Another misguided discussion at best. I resolve not to opine on it until the numbers are in.
Not a failure. Just misconceived, and misaligned within what should have been accomplished by the whole GTS project. And "$456M on time on budget" was a lie. All the same, I'm glad Toronto has it, the numbers are in an affordable zone.
But yeah - tomorrow, plus December 30th is a big bit of good news for the city. Now let's see if the next pieces can hit the mark even better.

December 30th?

Are you from the future?From my perspective March 31 and December 31 3017 are massive failure dates in the transit achievement calendar.
Google Maps says the first train northbound is at 7:43am...I assume this is wrong? Are schedules available anywhere on the TTC website yet?All aboard TTC's Line 1 Extension

There is no need for the centre platform. Even if Line 4 is extended west, there is already a side platform which is very wide. The centre platform can't be used without massive renovation of the station as there is no vertical access to it and it would have to be built.
Don’t tease this crowd. They may take you seriously.And it is! They guaranteed a comfortable, peaceful ride. Last time I took it to Pearson, it was standing-room only. Clearly then a failure!
