The ai voice makes this otherwise good content unwatchable. Seriously.
they real only need the Bathurst station ..for the west end.. consumers..vp..warden.. ken/go mc cowan ..
When are you seeing lower ridership? I have been on streetcars that are packed and have had to wait to even get on a streetcar. The TTC needs the extra streetcars plain and simple.
The western extension to Sheppard West station infinitely makes Line 4 more useful. Yes, it's low density, but we created a mess by creating a stubway in a low-density area of Toronto. The western connection makes it easier for Line 1 and 4 trains to get to Wilson. It also makes it infinitely easier for students to get from Scarborough to York U. And it opens up the possiblilty of interlining Lines 1 and 4. Let's make the line useful!
It’s reached a point where they can extend the subway to any part of the city, and the entire route will naturally become dense. That’s how starved the city is for public transport and specifically subways. People are complaining about lack of density along parts of Sheppard? Announce the extension and you’ll see two dozen new condo developments along Sheppard. McCowan/Sheppard station on Line 2 isn’t even fully constructed yet and there’s already like 7 proposed buildings to be built. Toronto needs to start acting like a proper city. It amalgamated in 1998, but city hall still likes to pretend Toronto is only the old city. It can’t keep ignoring the boroughs and think the city will be able to move forward.
I know the one to Morningside May take the longest, and it may be the most expensive, but that’s better for Scarborough, I don’t live in Scarborough but I do go on a car ride in Scarborough every once in a while, especially on Sheppard. And while driving along Sheppard I can just see in my mind a Subway entrance at almost every major street all the way to Morningside.
Not going to happen. Dougie wants to tunnel under the 401 first, he loves his highways
stupid robot voice
People have been asking for this since the early 2000's. These planners only cater to the high income areas, not where the people traveling live
@@kodguerrero Maybe when you get a subway, all the rich people move there and push out the poor people? So if you want affordable housing, you simply have to be willing to live in an area with worse transportation options because that will make it cheaper?
@@my2iu But that increases the transportation cost and time for those people, who already struggle to get to and from work. More public transit is always better and takes cars off the road which we all desperately need
High income earners drive. They are NIMBY,S and do not like construction getting dust on their BMW'S
I hope it gets extended east to Kennedy and west to Dufferin
With the costs this is costing, it should have been a SUBWAY! Everything east of Leslie st is a total joke! Again, Scarborough gets screwed over huge.
It would be great if they put turn on/off onto the Sheppard line so trains could be run on both lines or used to balance traffic in the event of an emergency. The turn on would need to go both north and south onto the Scarborough subway to be effective.
1:56 I can't see anyone who seriously believes that the west extension isn't needed. In fact, I argue this is one of the lowest-hanging fruits that metrolinx can build today. Apart from your points, Line 4 trains can also connect to the existing Wilson yard, so they don't have to travel far distances if they have something wrong. Likewise, Line 1 trains mostly stored at Wilson can have a shortcut to the busier Yonge line, meaning more trains can be deployed faster. Can you link some sources on opponents to the west extension (if possible)? Thank you & good vid!
That part of Sheppard is pretty low density with lots of empty parks. The traffic isn’t too bad, and buses already provide decent service to the area, and you only have to ride the bus for a short while before you get to a subway station. Meanwhile, on the eastern extension, there are already huge condo towers with thousands of people waiting for better transit. The existing bus service always gets jammed up at the 404 crossing. And the area doesn’t have any nearby subway service, so there’s a huge catchment area of people who might ride down to Sheppard to catch the subway.
@@my2iu transfering onto a bus only to ride it a couple of km actually adds a lot of time to your commute. Even if buses do come every few minutes (tbf the 84 bus already does), that still means getting up from you seat, and running upstairs for a service that runs in a straight line, something an subway extension can easily carry. Also adding an eastern extension adds more riders, that still ends up funnelling them into the already congested Sheppard-Yonge interchange. That means more congestion on the Yonge-side Line 1, and congestion on the 84 bus.
@@my2iuit’s low density because IT LACKS the subway. Look at Eglinton and its transformation. Wherever you build the subway, that area becomes dense naturally. Don Mills is another example….Sheppard line should absolutely be extended west as well. I’m tired of Toronto behaving like its a small mid-tier city still. It just surpassed Chicago a few years ago and politicians still think it’s the Toronto from 1935. Development in the city should reflect its size….they like to cater to the yuppies downtown, while the vast majority of Toronto residents in the boughs are ignored. Enough.
@@verynonexistent I’m not saying the bus is perfect, but that it works fine. And many people who need to do that trip will already be on a bus anyway, so transferring to another bus is no big deal. Unless you specifically need to go to York University or Yorkdale, then just connecting to the other end of Line 1 isn’t that useful. You’ll probably want to continue riding the bus further on. For example, if I lived at Finch and Yonge, and I wanted to go to York University, I’d probably take the bus down Finch. It doesn’t really make sense for me to go down to Sheppard, cross over to Sheppard West, and then travel back up. The same goes for people living at, say, Lawrence-Yonge and who want to go to York University.
@@TMBpk Scarborough has no subway, and they’ve built tons of high density housing, and they’re building more. The area of Sheppard for the west extension is low density because the residents there want to have low density (or maybe there’s an issue with the airport). I know that residents are unhappy with medium sized condo towers on Sheppard only a block or two west of Yonge. Unless you want the province to ram down giant condo towers down the throats of the residents along the west extension, then it’s just not as promising as the east extension or a Finch extension.
Apparently they screwed up the soil testing and have to re-do everything (did you notice how they're doing soil sampling again along Yonge, even though they completed it last year?) Sigh. Another 10 year project to take at least 15 - 20 years... I feel bad for all those people who bough Pre-Con on this premise.
Any extension north of Steeles is useless.
They could end it at Hillcrest Mall instead at High Tech, plus there's Richmond Go. At this point the two should just merge, TTC and GO
@@CobaltFoxPlays if Richmond Hill GO doesn’t get RER service, then I can see the line getting extended to Major Mackenzie
Never going to happen. Dougie loves freeways
Strange, because his administration made the Scarboro extension and Downtown relief line happen. Funny how some people regurgitate media STOOPIDITY without even realizing it.
I feel like the TTC/ Toronto is going to play chicken with everyone until the Ontario line gets extended to Sheppard ave (2045 at that point I guess) The new extension would cause the line 1 to be at capacity before reaching the city of Toronto boundaries.
Keep in mind though that not everyone who boards in Richmond Hill is going to come all the way downtown - there are GO trains for that.
That is also true.
I predict that the line will be complete by 2040 and be 10 - 12 billion over budget and still use the existing line 2 cars because they will not be able to afford to replace them.
Ontario Line is using light metro technology so it’s impossible for regular subway cars to operate on the line
@@fideltrudeau9834 In that case add another six months to a year to fix wiring issues with the light metro cars.
I love the American pronunciation of 'route' for a Canadian video. Obviously, this is automatic text to voice narration.
Great footage today! Still wish the AI voice was more fluid. What about GO Train stations?
The GO Train stations?
@@OurToronto The impact on real estate prices from GO Train stations. Is there any?
There is some impact but much more outside of Toronto rather than in Toronto itself. But it's a good point.
Yeah how come the ai voice doesn't know about grammar and punctuation. Still, fun figuring out where each sentence does and doesn't finish.
I can see that being the case. GO Train are supposed to be the suburban people mover, so I think it does boost the areas outside Toronto more. But considering the development inside the GTA for GO system recently and in the next few years, I can see it also helps the properties inside the city! I hope we can soon see both TTC and GO being interchangably referred to as rapid transit systems inside the GTA
The whole rail project with OC Transpo in Ottawa is a complete mess, and a boondoggle.
Exactly, Line 2/4 extensions soon to open are poorly designed and for many will increase travel times. The airport link is particularly bad, possibly extending travel times to downtown by 20 minutes. The western extension ends in the middle of the Greenbelt, a useless terminus with extension to Kanata highly unlikely in our lifetime. Phase 1 of this project, which opened in 2019 has lost around 40% of the previous ridership. A public transit disaster.
@@lovehandr And they used to joke about TTC - ( Take The Car ). I have fond memories of OC Transpo in the '70's and into the '80's. Routes went where people needed to go, and for the most part, they actually made sense. Since I got a license in '84, no reason for me to ride the bus there anymore, and looking (back) at things from time to time (meaning the system map and schedule) over the years, I am so glad I do not have to rely on today's OC Transpo. It has turned into a very bad joke. My personal opinion on OC T taking on rail and expanding their (so-called) service, they should never have taken on some of the clowns who have come and gone, and done the damage they did along the way. They should have started out with a shovel and a trip to the graveyard if they wanted to get anyone who knows anything about building and running rail (and bus ) service for beyond the mid 1980's. Cuz the people we've been paying thus far don't know diddly.
There's nothing like have an American commentator that mispronounce the names of Canadian communities and future transit locations.
It`s not a human being, it`s text-to-speech.
Of course Niagara is left out, but what else is new? Doesn't help that the line to here is falling apart, and CN (or whatever freight company) owns it, so we get SFA again... (Btw, SFA = Sweet F***-All!!)

These subways can't open fast enough. The people need new places to fap.
the whole point of a 3P project was for government to absolve themselves and deflect blame because others had skin in the game. Is it any wonder it all or it ends up in court?
huge waste projects putting transit where there already was transit before and replacing businesses with travel lines to nowhere... incredible waste in era of ride share options
Its GO Transit (same as word "go" ). It is not "G. O. Transit" that your robo-voice makes it sound like "geo" .
If it takes decades to build a transit line I would prefer the continue to formulate transit ideas and implement them so future generations don't suffer the underinvestment we have. Everything under construction now is for future generations, by the time they are built i might not have a reason to leave my house. Until we have world class high speed rail nationwide we out transit corridor under developed. I know our leaders are proud but I want them to study a country like China and understand how they expanded their rail networks and try to replicate some of that success.
China isn't that great of a model. Canada doesn't have access to what is effectively an infinite pool of slave labour.
2:22 "Soon"? 😂🤣
That's the official time frame.
although interesting what was missing is that the majority are late and significantly over budget....not quite a success story .
At this point that all goes without saying.
What about the waterloo ion extension to Cambridge
If memory serves that was 'only' a 900 million project, correct me if I'm wrong, while important to waterloo and kitchener not a mega project if you will.
@@OurTorontoThe price has ballooned to like 3-4B, and has since been put on hold. For the time being, it seems the region is focusing on building the Cambridge Dinky.
so whats the point of this video ?????? i didnt hear anything new
By the time it opens, all hardware and software are all absolute. It would need to be replace again. What a joke to tax payers!
It's crazy to me they're calling the Mississauga line the Hazel McCallion. Naming a public transit line after the mother of all suburban sprawl and car centric culture is wild.
That's a good point and an irony I didn't see.
@@OurTorontothe line was something she pushed for a lot, that’s why. Will admit though a transit line named after a person is odd
@@TheMainGuyYT no odder than naming a freeway after a person (Queen Elizabeth Way, Macdonald-Cartier Freeway).
@@TheMainGuyYT Even something like the Hazel line would’ve been nice but the full name is a bit weird yeah
The downside to the Hazel McCallion transit line is that it's basically a tram running at street level so it will be slower and subject to delays. It should have been a fully grade separated light metro system.
The Line 1 Extension should probably have been included
Yeah that one hasn't been mentioned for a while. I should look into whether there is any news about it.
@@OurTorontoThe tunneling RFP was tendered December 2023, and pre construction works have been ongoing for a while.
Hamilton's LRT hasn't started construction yet.
Hamilton lrt still doesn’t have any construction started along the route, so it won’t be done until 2030+
I mean the ontario line won't travel to the science centre, because the science centre has been closed permanently... so... there's that...
But they have not decided to change the name of the station yet.
They said they are considering changing the name. Also line 5 will stop at the science centre
"Science Centre" will end up being the developer's marketing name for the condo project that will replace it.
Makes it six-eight more subway lines, then we will talk.
I enjoyed this video, I can’t wait to ride these projects when I retire in 45 years, well at least the ones in the gta 😅
I was in college when they first talked about transit city. If they had actually delivered on half their promises, finch, Eglinton and Sheppard would have been up and running already.
I think theres overwhelming public support to just 'finish' the line, as i think everyone around here just thinks its unfinished due to it going nowhere. The Shepard west to STC makes the logical most sense, with the possibility of someday in future, extending to the airport and out east into scarborough itself. Ideally though, progress isnt hindered by the pursuit of perfection, so even just getting a loop would be better than nothing happening for 20 years.
Senior visitors are punished by the add-on costs to get senior rates. TTC still means take the car.
You know you're talking to someone that has lived in this city for a long time when they say ttc means take the car. That saying was coined in the city in the 80s and 90s. The newer generation does know that's what it's called.
2030, 5 more years, they will open it. But it will be shutdown right away, for system upgrade, since everything is either outdated or at the end of lifespan. They will reopen it in 2040, and close it for good in 2050. 2060, Metrolinx will ask for 5-10T dollars to build a replacement of 10km, which will be opened again in 2100
It was going to speed up my daily commute from Bathurst & Eglinton to 1530 Markham Road during my last year of employment (currently a 2 hour trip in each direction). I've been retired for over 3 years now. So much for that.
Yeah it's no small thing. I hope your retirement is going well.
@@OurToronto There's no commute, so yes it is going quite well.
15 years for 19 km....(Toronto), 7 years for 67KM for Montreal....something wrong?????
Yet those in charge of Metrolink still got their bonuses!
