    All of a sudden Toronto traffic is a problem? It's always hell on earth.

    Toronto barely invested in the past 8 years or so. Now they are playing catch-up with increase in mass population

    Your favourite PM came on the radio in 2015 during his campaign talking about how bad the Toronto traffic is..instead of investing the billions in batteries, a world class public transit would have been a much better use of funds

      I dont know if Toronto could ever have a world class transit. so many mistakes have been made in the past that it would never be any more than a mishmash of different services.

    Maybe Canada should hit pause on immigration for a while and let the economy and infrastructure catch up.

    Maybe if the city had actual proper transit like European cities... wouldn't be an issue.

    Excellent! Let the traffic congestion get worse, and businesses will close down. Hopefully house prices will finally drop when we enter a recession.

    This entire country is so inefficient at building or planning for anything. If only we had an actual subway system so that half of these cars wouldn't even be on the road to begin with.

    Google maps always defaults to taking the Gardiner or the DVP when going anywhere across Toronto. It takes the same amount of time if you take alternate streets to avoid the main bottle necks downtown.

    • @RedroomStudios
      @RedroomStudios 4 місяці тому

      mmm... maybe if there is construction. I used to drive for a courier service in Toronto and I used to do what you suggested during rush hour when it seemed like the highway wasnt moving. I would get off and try to drive on city streets. it actually took longer.

    • @victoria3241
      @victoria3241 4 місяці тому

      There's so much construction on city streets that there is no alternative to just idling in traffic. Even the subway goes at a snails pace

    The contractor doesn’t want to pay overtime? I bet alot of the workers would be happy to get some double time.
