Governments trying to redo transit in their image. Every time someone new gets elected, whether its provincial or local, they scrap the previous transit plans in favour of something they cooked up or to save money because god forbid public tax money is use to pay for public transit. Another problem is none of the elected officials are urban designs, transit planners or engineers so all their ideas tend to skew towards votes rather then whats best for the city.

There was a whole budget thing back when the Sheppard Subway was built, and it was supposed to be longer but they had to strip it down to only five stations. Part of the reason for that was because of the "State of good repair" program that was created after the 1995 subway crash. Basically means build new subways only when there is enough money to maintain the rest of the system properly.

The issue I find with Toronto’s transit expansion is that it prioritized Line 1 too much for too long. As I had mentioned in a previous video, the Vaughan extension should’ve been integrated into Line 4, making it more attractive and promoting more and better connectivity. Any subway extension in the east for Line 4 seems fruitless (as currently proposed), as the expected passenger volume still calls for intermediate service which isn’t practical for a subway. Example: the Line 4 East subway extension would service Warden Ave, skip Birchmount Rd, service Kennedy, and skip Agincourt GO, requiring transit riders to still rely on buses in the same corridor, which would undoubtedly be reduced due to the subway. The formerly proposed Line 7 Sheppard East LRT would’ve replaced bus service along the corridor, and service these intermediate stops, providing better service connectivity and quality, especially given the improvements to the GO regional service along the Stouffville Line. Hopefully a better alternative can be found. The Ford government prioritizes transit MODES instead in spite of connectivity and how it better serves the area on a whole. This goes back to when the late Rob Ford tried to cancel all the proposed transit expansion projects in the pipeline. Instead of having a network of new transit infrastructure, we have two new segregated transit lines being built, with no foreseeable way of connecting them. Toronto transit isn’t just about “Subways Subways Subways”

I read somewhere that Madrid bought a tunnel digging machine so they could continuously build as part of a long term business plan. By contrast, Toronto goes through years of bureaucratic wrangling to get things going. They should be building tunnels and servicing this massive sprawl for decades to catch up to demand.

There's also the planned extension of Line 1 on the Yonge side, from Finch up to the Richmond Hill Centre terminal just north of Highway 7. Should it get underway, it wouldn't be completed until around 2030, barring eventual delays. There, it would link up with a primary hub of GO Transit, as well as the VIVA/YRT system to head further north, east and west. Given the passenger loads though, it may require a change of trains at Finch to avoid overcrowding.

Agree, look at any other major G-7 city and Toronto is a mess. Berlin, London, New York etc...they all grew over time. Toronto just stopped. I guess building condos and unaffordable housing and crappy shops and restaurants was more important. Too bad really, Toronto could have been a great city, now it's just a steaming ugly expensive embarrassment.

You did a nice video BUT TORONTO is the largest city and everyone who immigrates to Canada ends up in Toronto. We are sorely lacking in subway lines compared to New York, London, Berlin, Paris, etc. We should be CONSTANTLY building more routes and this should last for the next 100 years easily. MAKE WORK PROJECTS.

Heck, I think Toronto is sorely lacking to subway lines even to cities like Boston and Montreal!

the bend north at main st is incorrect east of victoria pk

In my personal opinion subways should be expanded especially the Sheppard line from Yorkdale to markham.. UP express might be going away soon pls add a direct connection of eglinton LRT to airport

Shame line 4 does not link Don Mills to Midland in the east and to Finch West in the west to provide additional east to west capacity also with the lines finishing at Mount Dennis and Kipling shame that an airport link was not added.

As soon as subways go into scarbrough they go above ground and become milk runs, look at the scarbrough LRT system and the Eglinton LRT, comes into scarbough comes above ground, even the new Ontario line when it comes to Don Mills though not scarbough but close, it comes above ground. Rob Ford tried to make them underground, politicians and the media fought against him so hard, they used every excuse in the book to not build a underground scarbrough system.

We need a subway from Cambridge to the Yonge line!

2 footages of montreal transit in the beginning

Edit line 5 is here now

line 1 should be extended to steeles then a yrt line into markham.

why didn't you include the Ontario and Hurontario lines in this video?

My guess is because Ontario Line is only proposed and not under construction.. and Hurontario Line isn't in Toronto.

Ontario has suffered from poor transit planning for decades. Band aid solutions are quite evident.

Nothing on the new Ontario Line from the Ex through downtown all the way to the Science Centre.

this is so fu****G ironic that still to today does not spanded Sheppard Yonge to Sheppard west?

It's so sad.
