How much would it cost to build an underground LRT travelling diagonally from downtown Toronto to northeast Scarborough?

Seems like some people may be ok with getting to work three hours late a few times a month, in order to save $10 a month in a property tax increase...
Not just subway service was suspended between Bloor and Osgoode, Toronto Fire was summoned at St. George, Rosedale, and Davisville Stations as well! At the same time! A quadruple whammy!So the first day of real winter and TTC already gotten kneecapped:

Those apologies are getting rather tiresome.

He is charismatic? He is about as interesting as cardboard - which isn't a bad thing given our interesting our last mayor was.

It was my first day at my new job a few steps from St. Andrew Station. I decided to walk from St. Patrick station to my workplace, since the train operator told me that it would be faster for me to walk (and he was right). I was no doubt exhausted. Good thing my employer was flexible enough to shift the hours to accommodate Tory's mishandling of the subway system.
I'm not rely sure how the mayor is resposable for a cable catching fire because of arching from melting snow on it but yeah sure blame him for it if you like. This is just one of those things that happens and there can't be anyone to blame for it.Not just subway service was suspended between Bloor and Osgoode, Toronto Fire was summoned at St. George, Rosedale, and Davisville Stations as well!

I tweeted to complain about the street steps such as at King station being a death trap when it snows. And it lead to the management of that station being told about it.
The problem is that the majority of TTC funds goes to pay overly high salaries of drivers and not enough money poured towards maintenance. That's why we have electrical fires every few months and no AC in summer.
I am not even sure why the management need to be told by the public
Indeed--those stairs at King have been a death trap for as long as I can remember! Anyone who's used the station in heavy rain, but mainly any time in winter with any snow or slush around, should be familiar with that. They're just learning it now?! 504 is the busiest surface route in the city, and I'm pretty sure a very significant percentage of that ridership transfers at King. If they can't figure that out...
They still want a union member to shovel the snow versus installing heating coils to melt the snow. In the long term it saves on insurance and labour costs (but a initial capital outlay). But union employment trumps safety of passengers.
