Maybe you've been waiting for the wrong train and that;s why you're still not up to speed. We all know Chow will build NO train, and keep the levy if she can. That means thousands more Scarberians will be riding better transit to and from more places years sooner than the Ford Folly could ever serve the few it will be wastefully dug for. And she'll be getting a tewnty-years overdue start on the DRL.
Can't help you get to your WalMart by any Express, be patient WalMart will come to you. But as for your poke at the NW extension—about which I care zero, as that money's gone, and all any of us can do now is ride it—do you not understand that as a city of today building for tomorrow there is no transit line we can do without? We now praise Harris for building the subway bridge over the Don long before we ever had a subway to run on it, and likewise one day there will be riders aplenty for both those misbegotten lines on Sheppard and up to York. What makes them foolish is politicians planning such stuff to get votes by handing out gravy trains tickets instead of transit engineers who actually try to move people.
Not a new story. That's why the rest of Harris's city-wide plan from the early XXthC (which included the DRL by the way) was never built, and the Rob Ford's of his day sneered at the extra steel in the viaduct as just the the sort of City Hall waste they were elected to eliminate. Mind you, after the kibosh private business of the day made of transit for profit, those pols did create the TTC. It worked pretty well, serving all the cities that made up Toronto, until another Harris, this one a pol, stupidly made us into single city bigger than the system, and easy prey for self-serving pols.
At least Chow is looking farther ahead than her next campaign. Unlike the guy who started his the day he took office. Of course to look farther ahead, he'd have to recover from at least one of his drunken stupors, focus and stop seeing double.
