Slide 6 says it currently takes three transfers and almost two hours to get to Kennedy Station. Whereas the new LRT will take 78 minutes. It seems they've forgotten all about the "rocket" bus service to Kipling. I have not timed it, but I suspect that going from Kipling to Kennedy would be well under an hour, so when added to the 15 or less minutes from T2 to Kipling, this "new" service will take longer. I also suspect that taking the rocket to Kipling then two subways to Yonge & Eglinton is far shorter than 70 minutes.

In any case, by the looks of it the new LRT is hardly "fast" and will certainly bugger up traffic on Eglinton.
