Here's my idea: we put together a group of some people (we will all vote to pick them!) who will be responsible for transit and other things in the public interest and then we'll give them a small percentage of our income each year which they can use to build things that will lead to a collective benefit!
Then we really ran out of idea on how to restore funding for transit. There hasn't been a idea here than hasn't been shot down. What else is there???
The problem is that we have no one to champion. There is literally no major politically party at the provincial level who really cares about transit.
A cheaper way to improve rapid transit would be to make all the GO Train lines express that only has stops in the 905 region except Union. And to have the TTC run it's own trains on the same tracks to service the 416 GO Train Stations with no extra fare other than the already existing TTC fare.
One example is people could transfer from Main Station and go straight to Union at no extra cost, and it would certainly relieve both the Yonge and Danforth lines without laying another inch of track.
OR the SRT? Haven't we been told for years that this rebuild is mandatory/essential/crucial by 2015 (or whenever)??? By not committing to the SRT and one of the other two, they reveal themselves to be fools, and lend credence to the notion that Sheppard is simply a tool to kill any short- to mid-term subway expansion beyond Spadina.- With the $4 billion off the table, the TTC will use the remaining $3 billion guaranteed upto 2015 on SELRT and one of either Finch West LRT or the Scarbrough RT rebuild to Sheppard/Markham. Eglinton's off the table.
An unnecessary distraction for what our current civic leaders desire? Sounds like the DRL is dead, at least for now.Seriously there was no mention of the DRL at all.
People are excited by subways -- who knew?But when the emcee made any mention of subway expansion, the crowd particularly lit up and were vocal which I took to mean that they were in tacit support of more subways even in this funding crisis situation
