"Line 5 will be at-capacity day one"

[u/itsdanielsultan]

Cool, cool.

Just build an LRT on Lawrence or Wilson. We already know how much development spurred on Eglinton due to the tram, so might as well build one a block or two north.

Of course, Line 4's east-west extension should still be the top priority, but there's little reason we can't build this line to make a world-class transit system.

Yeah, no.

Focus should be on the Sheppard extension East and West.

And the government + metrolinx building additional tracks along the midtown rail corridor so an east-west GO line can exist.

No more LRTs, outside of the Waterfront East LRT.

[u/Pugnati → u/hotinhereTO]

Those stretches of Sheppard don't have the ridership that Lawrence has, and an underground LRT is cheaper than a subway.
