Dont you think yonge extension to north like Richmond hill would be more impactful in term of connecting cities ?

We need more lines to take pressure off the Yonge line. It will be overcrowded no doubt but still beneficial.Newuserid wrote: ↑ Nope.
There is a lot more density along the Ontario Line and it will relieve a lot of the traffic on the congested Yonge line.
Extending the yonge line will just make the already crowded yonge line even worse. I am personally against extending subway lines outside of the city of toronto. They should keep the TTC within the city.
Ontario line will eventually (Read: 2050) go all the way to RH.love0715 wrote: ↑ https://www.cp24.com/mobile/news/ford-t ... -1.5836525

Yonge line was supposed to reach capacity around 2025 with current technology. They are making changes that will allow it to run trains closer and would reach capacity sometime after 2025, maybe 2035. With WFH exploding, I don't think it will reach capacity ever.GTA12345 wrote: ↑ Yonge line is already sardines (or will be again soon). There's only so many cars that can fit in a station, there's just no capacity. Extending worsens that.
If someone wants subway access, they have many options to move. Otherwise, rh is serviced with buses to the various lines and GO. I mean, if they extended, it would help me. But doesn't mean I expect it or think it makes sense dollar for dollar.
The density isn't there.
Was TTC calling 2019 not at capacity? Cause trains would have no room to add people regularly south of Sheppard. Doors open, people on platform would just shrug. Doors close. No one got on.
The definition of capacity is the culprit here methinks. The line being at capacity is not the same as individual trains being at capacity. I am no expert on either so someone else may be able to add to this.GTA12345 wrote: ↑ Was TTC calling 2019 not at capacity? Cause trains would have no room to add people regularly south of Sheppard.

Even funnier (sadder?) was when people would be stuck in the middle of a train car. Doors open. They'd be like "excuse me this is my stop". But there'd be nowhere to move for them to get off. Doors close, they're still on train. Everyone shrugs.
If that's not capacity, I don't now what is. Maybe in terms of people per day or hour it wasn't capacity, but at peak it was full.
Do you own a property close to Yonge street in north GTA? Lol
Thry can do both. Toronto is decades behind. Thry need to get going. It’s embarrassing how shitty our system is.
Yea it truly is embarrassing…maybe it’s time to get a bit cheaper labor from other countries and finish building out the subway? They would build it much faster too…just a suggestion…
just like getting a construction permit to build a home , everything is a disaster because of red tape and useless politicians....
mega nightmare for downtown ..... glad im never there....i like my quiet burbs.....Easy401rider wrote: ↑ this construction will create chaos in downtown for years . think that busiest section of the downtown queen/spadina to yonge/queen will be shut down for at least 10 years . Ppl suffered alot on Eglington LRT , subway construction takes alot longer , plus they will shut down some of those Stations forcing ppl to walk to their destination. it will be be a total mess to go anywhere around queen street ... this subway line and more of them should have been finished 30 years ago ...
