all night subway service can't happen until Automatic Train Control is installed at the earliest, and even then will be a challenge.
Okay, is there anywhere else in Ontario (heck, anywhere in Canada) where a bus route runs every 3-4 minutes during rush hour? (Edit: Other than the Ottawa Transitway routes?)
IMO, the TTC should not even provide regular service on Steeles, let alone overnight service.
that's a great first step to try and elinimate the border between transit agencies.I think it is because the taxpayers of the City of Toronto are subsiding the migrates from York Region and Peel Region who use the TTC. The SmartCard system the TTC is thinking about should have some sort of residential requirement where if you live outside of Toronto, you have to pay more.

If you live in the 905 then you should be paying a double fare.
Yes, there is a lot of revenue from Steeles buses but also much more expenses, so the TTC is still losing money.
I agree, but how would the issue of Spadina and Union (if it goes that far) be addressed? If it was a streetcar, I suppose it would have to let people off one stop prior to Union and one stop prior to Spadina (and the streetcar would turn around in the station empty). If it's a bus, then it would have to turn around in the Spadina bus loop and somewhere else on Queen's Quay (as busses can't enter the Union Station loop).Spadina down to Queens Quay is such a no-brainer. I'd like to see something along Queens Quay, too. There are thousands upon thousands of people living on the waterfront, and the nearest east-west night bus is all the way up at Queen.
