The TTC

I actually saw a female street car driver Lysol down a seat where a homeless dude sat on Queen East at the first light after he got off. (Heck she even used hand squeeze not aerosol Lysol.) The passengers actually clapped.
Unfair? It's already unfair to those living close to the poverty line who live in Scarborough and work in Scarborough...
Some buses are disgusting, people just leave behind their trash. Like half filled coffe cups. Fucking pigs.
$10 per litre might be a little harsh. But if you added just $1 per litre in Ontario, it might generate $1,000,0000,000 per month? Based on 5,000,000 people using 200 litres per month each. Which would be more than enough to make it free, and also build 10km or so of track per year. And it would likely be good for road congestion also.
We don't have the population density to support a subway to Richmond Hill. People are way to spread out to make it usable for enough.
Eliminate the Transport Trucks from the 400 series of Highways so I don't have to bitch and moan about all the transports from Quebec and the East Coast driving to the US on the 401 during rush hour. How many times have you been stuck in traffic and see 3 out of 4 lanes just filled with trucks for as long as the eye can see? Just reduces the 401 to 1 lane going each way!!!
I already pay a licencing fee, regristration for my plates and a city of Toronto renewal fee for my plates each year, plus the god dammed GAS Tax... ENOUGH... You want public transit... pay for it... or walk....
Eliminate the bus drivers by letting the passenger's take turn driving the bus!!!

She broke union rules by taking work away from maintenance and risked suspension. Love those unions
Like most of the suggestions, the Eglinton line is not new. In fact it was being dug until Mike Haris ordered it filled in. Only an idiot would deny that cities work only when people can get around in them, and that mass transit, by the very definition of the words, is the best way to move the most folks fastest and farthest.
Paying for it is the problem, not where to put it. Tax and spend builds the roads freeloading cars drive on; it takes tax and spend to build transit, just like anything else we want.
The idea that a society can have anything without it is the most juvenile sort of magical thinking.
I think what's really important for TTC & GO is the availability, safety and free parking spots.
Most of the car commuting are from 905 area. And, I know from experience, that if you're late by a minute you won't be able to get a parking spot, so the only real option is to just drive downtown (since the cost will work out the same).
Also, it'd be nice if the security was better for the TTC & GO lots, as we've heard all the horror stories of theft.

"Tax and spend builds the roads freeloading cars drive on"
I pay for my car, my gas, my insurance and my maintenance. I pay a GAS tax, Plates and a bloody fee to the City of Toronto for the being foolish enough to live here and drive a car. Not to mention my property taxes. So buddy I aint no free loader. I donèt take public transit because it doesnt take me where I need to go. My taxes pay for the roads, and public transit. Your TTC fare pays for almost the cost of your ride and nothing else.
Subways are the easiest way to move a lot of people and they free up the roads for me. I say build them.

For those who haven't been following the story of the rail link to Pearson.

TTC subway pales in comparison to other cities.
Just look at the maps, toronto is too small

if escort agencies donated a million one-hour appointments, we would have had a kilometre of subway
