Toronto’s 10BN Subway Line Will Revolutionize Your Commute

[@ryleighloughty3307]

The Line should continue north to Steeles Avenue so that it can connect with the Sheppard Subway Line, Seneca College (Finch Ave. E.), and the future East/West Steeles Avenue Line.

[@PWingert1966]

By the time it is open there will be another 500,000 people living in the city.

[@maddoxmagennis1520]

Yeah, but crowded trains move, crowded highways dont

[@nanaokyere7141]

You're right. When this lines open it'll be at capacity from day 1

[@DingisMaximus]

It's not enough, high speed rail is still needed and line 2 and line 4 need more expansion

[@minti1962]

Exhibition is a dumb place to start or end the line. Take it west along Queen then up Ronci to Bloor and Connect with Dundas west.

[@minti1962]

then along Dundas To Jane , then north on Jane To Eglinton to connect with Cross town !

[@minti1962]

diagonal lines work really well too....

[@carlinthomas9482]

The purpose of the OL is to relieve crowding at Union Station. The goal is for people to get off at either Exhibition or the new East Harbour GO station and transfer to the OL to take it to the distillery, Eaton Centre, or Spadina/Queen without having to pass through Union Station. The line could always be extended north to Bloor or west along the Queensway to Sherway Gardens in the future.

[@minti1962]

@@carlinthomas9482ya needs go north west. Not to Sherway where the go system is close by. Tying into Eglinton cross town at Jane makes way more sense. Relieves congestion on bloor line west end as well.

As a Torontonian who uses the TTC daily, I don't believe that this new subway line will assist the whole subway system's rush hour. The North South line always get the upgrades, new subways while the East-West Line gets very little upgrades and even still uses old trains. Why only the posh areas of Downtown Toronto gets these upgrades? I agree that there is over crowding at the Yong-Bloor crossover, but these new upgrades don't address the existing issues on the existing subway. Every week there's early subway closures, and massive inconvenience for passengers who are forced to use shuttle busses. These closures are at 11Pm, way after rush hour, and thus not causes from Rush Hour commuting. I disagree with all the fluff they are promising. I love the part of new electric vehicles, but did they forget that the existing subway is "Electric"?! How is a new parallel subway going to assist the existing system? This new system appears like a cash grab for construction companies, and or investors who probably never even ride the TTC! I'm hoping that this new subway line will make navigating the TTC, Toronto easier and more pleasant but I gotta see it to believe it.

[@cliveroberts8760]

The subway closures are for the upgrades

[@TagusMan]

The Ontario Line is incomplete and completely ignores the West End of the city. The Dupont St corridor in the West End is over-developing too quickly and will soon overwhelm the Bloor line, long before the Ontario line is finished. The chosen route of the Ontario Line was incredibly short sighted.

[@carlinthomas9482]

The route of the OL is fine for relieving crowding at Union Station and Bloor-Yonge. A new east-west line, modeled after the Elizabeth Line in Greater London, that runs parallel with most of the CP corridor (along Dupont and beyond) connecting Erin Mills, Square One, Kipling, Dufferin/Dupont, Summer Hill, Eglinton/Don Mills, Scarborough TC, Malvern TC, Toronto Zoo, Pickering Go should be built as a fast east-west line across the region.

Too much stock footage

[@WebVid]

Too much irrelevant stock footage.

[@minti1962]

I also think an LRT on Queensway makes sense. Out to Sherway. Mississauga can tie into it there at west mall as well.

[@iggyblack]

Horrible use of AI, go outside and shoot some footage buddy.

[@garyfarmaner6440]

Lower Don (not Dawn)

[@sanniepstein4835]

Can government ever do anything within a reasonable budget?

[@LuidyNaves]

90 seconds between each train is a disaster. São Paulo city runs 30 seconds trains in rush hours. It has 3 milhões passengers a day.

[@GraemeMacDermid]

Horrible AI garbage.

[@WebVid]

Agreed. A complete embarrassment.

[@blackbeard331]

By the time this is completed, everyone will have flying cars.

[@BrakeCoach]

Flying cars are impractical and useless

[@dognumber4002]

its the Lower Don bridge , Not Dawn ***

[@darkjusticemedia5621]

How much did the original subway lines cost updated in our times money . Bet it was similar

[@ceceng6931]

Sure...😂😂😂😂eglinton crosstown lrt still has not opened and its been 15 years.

[@bcinspectorman]

$27 billion CDN - 16 kilometers...$1.7 billion per kilometer. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? As long as dumb "growth" is the mantra for cities it means what little relief this provides will be futile. The public pays for the instrument which allows developers to continue to create sprawl. Urban rail for the most part is about shaping growth for cities to sprawl further out from their core. The buzz word is "transit oriented developments" which rarely means housing that is affordable. Another tool for developers to profit. Let area benefiting taxes pay for this!

[@maddoxmagennis1520]

For whatever reason this also includes 30 years of operations and maintenance. I believe the actual cost per km is 1 billion

[@juliansmith4295]

"$20 billion dollars..." showing American money, and you can't spell Science Centre. Sorry, I switched off after 10 seconds. Downvoted.

[@jamescox7007]

We must thank Brian Mulroney, Leader of the Federal NDP, and Jean Chretien, Leader of Federal Liberal Party, for making sure no federal tax money made it to Torontos subway projects.

[@stephensaines7100]

[We must thank Brian Mulroney, Leader of the Federal NDP] Really? In your imagination.

[@synaestesia-bg3ew]

Brian Mulroney was conservative, not NDP. He was a corrupt man who changed the legendary neutrality of Canada by pushing a pro-American, pro-Republican policy that we are continuing today, forcing us to participate in wars around the globe that don't concern us. He was also a globalist who pushed for privatization and the loss of jobs.

[@synaestesia-bg3ew]

Mulroney was similar to other corrupted Republicans of his era in the United States. They thought that private companies were God and we shouldn't tax them. It was the workers who were supposed to be taxed , not the riches.
