I heard the plan to put in a subway is back to be discussed.

I hope they put a subway tunnel near Scarborough NCIX. Takes so long to get to from DT.

I hope they never build subways and use more cost effective solutions e.g. Light rail transit.

Also,

Why do we have councillors? They're communists that have more power than our mayor since they operate in unison. We'll never have a subway with Minnan-wong telling the other councillors to vote for streetcars.

Heard this where? On Radio or read in Star?

MAybe not never... If it is financiall feasible then yes. But for now, I see LRT as a more realistic option.

Good point. OP edited.

IS it the portion from kennedy to STC? Cause really, that doesn't take much more to implement considering they have partial funding for it already.

I hope they expand the $5 footlong deals.

but we are not getting LRTs. we are getting streetcars
LRTs in NA operate at average speeds above 30kmh (usually ca 35kmh)
those in Toronto will operate at 22kmh, closer to a streetcar

YES! Subways fighting!

Teleportation will be the preferred method of travel by the time any of these "plans" come to fruition.
