That would be crazy. It would be much better to take people out of the subway and stick them in cars on roads, so that the remaining subway riders can go in style.
Ha-ha! Very funny...
There is something you clearly don’t get...
A line that is completely overcrowded is no efficient. It's not only about comfort...
Someone having to let 6 trains pass at Eglinton to go work is not efficiency. Its just bad and horrible service. There is nothing efficient in this.
When a service is not efficient, the customers tend to be unhappy,
When they’re unhappy, they lose confidence in that product (in this case the TTC)
If they lose confidence in it, they will find alternative.
So to please people like you, you would have 416 commuters get so fed up, they would turn to their cars instead.
Remember that the TTC main mandate is to serve Torontonians 1st. I’m not against an extension in York but the Toronto network needs to be improved so it can absorb the extra commuters from 905.
Personally, They should just increase the RH Go or convert it like the Paris RER(Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RER)
**Lakeshore line plus York Go Line should use the RER concept**
Metrolinx should have the initiative to explore that idea.
Stops in North York, Mid Town and downtown should do the trick.
At 300M$ per KM, Subways should go to underserved neighborhood within Toronto before leaving the city. (Cough…New York, Chicago etc)
Metrolinx is reponsible for the GTA (not the TTC)
Unless Toronto do what Montreal did:
-The Metro has been recognized as a metropolitain equipment or service.
All surrounding cities in The Montreal Metropolitain (Subway stations or not) have to pay compensations to help the STM with their operating fees.
The suburb cities recognized that their citizens were using the metro as well and agreed to this principle.
Unless I have it all wrong, that's not the case of the TTC who get's 95% of its revenue through fares alone. So their mandate is within Toronto.
