I would fire all my planners and let the nattering nabobs of UT run the show.
I know that the 40 Junction is just a bit weird like that. I guess that Jane isn't much of a destination, and there's not a lot of demand for going to Jane. Also, Runneymede has the Scarlett Road bus which, at least the last time I've been down there, has pretty good frequencies. The Junction basically kind of ends at Runneymede, and I guess the TTC figures a lot of the ridership demand ends there too.Why do some streetcar and bus routes end or loop at the old city of Toronto border? For example, 40 Junction ends at Runnymede & Dundas, when it could be extended west to Jane Street, at least. Or, the 22A Coxwell, 502 Downtowner, and 503 Kingston Road loop at the Bingham Loop at Kingston Road and Victoria Park Avenue. All those, and others, have to stop at the old iron curtain, as if there were border guards ready to catch a bus crossing the no man's (or woman's) land.

Can we stick to things that are actually within the City of Toronto's legal powers?increase gas tax by 1cent/litre to pay for all of this.
Doesn't Toronto have that power?Can we stick to things that are actually within the City of Toronto's legal powers?
Nope. Sales or income taxes are reserved for the province.Doesn't Toronto have that power?![]()
Ouch!I don't know if I'd necessarily be a good TTC chairman. I'm just a guy in his mid-to-late twenties who doesn't have any experience whatsoever managing a city department. Oh wait...
