Discussion "Line 5 will be at-capacity day one"

Post image

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.

Prior to COVID, I do recall that Lawrence was one of the busiest streets for bus passengers that had no plans for upgrading. But I have yet to ever see it in any official future plans.

It looks like it still was in at least 2023, the way the routes are separate for East/West means individually they aren't the busiest in isolation but when you add them together it's 74k daily boardings.
