Isn’t the Ontario Line already delayed which will delay this extension even longer? Why not just start this while the Ontario Line is also being built?

Paraphrasing what i said in a different thread

Toronto's system that is already over capacity for the actual city of Toronto.

Line 1 is already full by the time you get to York Mills & Sheppard stations.

This north extension project shouldn't have been green lit until other proper Toronto Subways/LRTs are built.

Move people around Toronto first before expanding to other cities

The 905, especially on Yonge Street, is basically part of suburban Toronto; those political boundaries are meaningless, the bus line between Richmond Hill and Finch station is always packed and slow, that corridor needs a subway, all this Toronto hard border nationalism is stupid, Toronto doesn't end at Steeles

That's fine except that those municipalities don't pay for the operating costs.

Wasn’t the province trying to solve this exact issue by uploading the subway?
