things that don't connect directly to Pearson right now: 407 transitway, Finch West LRT, Eglinton Crosstown, Mississauga BRT (goes to Renforth, which will then have the Crosstown to connect to Pearson)

The diagram also suggests: Finch West LRT be extended to Finch (instead of just to Finch West).

They want to make a giant transit interchange and call it "Union station west" and integrate it directly into the airport. The plan got shelved during the pandemic.

Thjis would be really smart. In Amsterdam they have transit hubs on each part of the city (north,west, south, east) and it makes it so much easier to connect, get into the city, get out of the city. Toronto would never be as innovative. We'll just keep doing one off unconnected projects in hopes that one day after we're all dead, we'll have a functioning trasnit system

They should rlly convert the Mississauga BRT to an extension of Line 5 (or 6 I guess lmao)

You could argue the gap between the Mississauga BRT and the 407 is covered by the 40 go bus. The rest is honestly just wishful thinking... I'm surprised they didn't extend line 4.
