True, the TTA powers that be seem for some years now to have made a political football out of the issue of providing service from downtown Toronto all the way oot ( read: "out") to Pearson International--not there yet! And the cost of a ride rises at a frankly surprising rate; on our annual visits I buy a buncha tokens which offer a great ROI from year to year...
Well, it's nice to see someone write something nice about the TTC. However, it could be so much better. Trains aren't as frequent as they could be, and so many lines get talked about (Eglinton West, Queen, Downtown connector) that never, ever get built. Sigh. It'd be such a nice system if it could be expanded.
Anyway, should be interesting to see what happens in Toronto in the next 10 years. They are talking about replacing the subway cars with the open-ended, articulated cars like they have on some of the lines in Paris. And there is talk of expanding the above ground, street car network, which is a very cool feature of Toronto.
