- Wed, Oct 3: The new rapid transit lines meant to give the city's ailing transit system a much-needed face lift will be run by the Toronto Transit Commission after all. Mark Carcasole reports. For more info, please go to www.globaltoron....
For people that are watching this now and are unaware of what is currently happening...
The Scarborough LRT was canceled and instead we are getting a Subway extension of line 2
Shepherd east line has been canceled (nothing official yet but hopefully we get a Shepherd Subway extension in the future)
The Eglinton Crosstown and Finch line both are expected to open early next year
The new Ontario line has been approved for construction as well as an extension to the Eglinton line
Actually now they don't know when Eglinton will open lol
eglinton crosstown is never opening
I am against the Sheppard East LRT, I am for the Sheppard Line extension!
My idea is that if ttc wants to make a light rail on sheppard, first close eglinton to sheppard yonge so they can connect the Eglinton lrt trains to the sheppard line (because they already have a connecting tunnel) then close the sheppard line for a few years so they can lower the platforms for the lrt. then make the sheppard extension instead of sheppard east line, put 1 maintenance yard somewhere and instead of "line 4 subway" its the "line 4 sheppard lrt (SLRT)
@@nate8892 hi
You got your wish. It's cancelled now
I’m here for the Eglinton lrt
@@mrrobot5963 Thank god, that would have been stupid if that opened, because you would have to transfer at Don Mills Station
0:40 it's 2020 and nothing...
Progressive Libertarian Viewer literally tho
it's 2022 and nothing lol
its 2024 and nothing lol
Here we are 10 years later and the crosstown and finch west lrts aren't finished, and the sheppard lrt was completely scrapped.
I like them building the new lrt lines because it will help people get where they are going faster instead of taking the bus.
Ouff we really dropped the bucket on this one, huh?
That store owners business is straight up gone now
It will be done in 2020 you say?
The Eglinton Crosstown will open in 2022, the Finch West LRT in 2023.
@@ppolow the crosstown will open in 2023, the finch west LRT in 2024.
@@Skyfoogle they actually now don't know when crosstown will open lol
It's currently May 26th 2024 and still nothing
They should make them privately owned and operated and separately fared through Presto at a profit. That would make each ride about $50 for 2 hours unlimited on average. Then people would begin to realize the actual costs of transit.
Sheppard subway should be converted to a lrt and extend it east above grade from Don mills out to Scarborough Town Centre and connect with the BD subway extension. Also extend Out west as a lrt to Downsview station that way there is all 5 rail lines are connected
Dion Tabannah too late, you might as well finish the subway
@@brianreed31 Realistically they should make the Sheppard Subway turn down on Down Mills and go downtown, it'll take pressure off the Yonge Line as an alternative route.
Tbh, the Sheppard Subway should have always been LRT. Other than the Sheppard@Yonge(which already has a line 1 Subway Station) and Scarborough Centre, the rest of Sheppard does not have the density to justify a subway. Mind you, converting a subway into LRT...yeah that would be alot harder than you think. Anyway, you have a good point. We really dont need "Subways, subways, subways!". We need transit, transit, transit!
Still waiting in May 2024
Hey TTC, if you see any crack houses, tear them down. Lets clean the city.
putting crackheads on the street isnt a solution. maybe convert retired subway cars into homeless shelters.
SHEPARD LRT? REALLY? EVEN WHEN TRAVELING FROM MISSISSAUGA, WHERE IS THIS SHEPARD LRT?
Should have built Eglinton as a subway but thanks the 1995 pc govt... You know the rest
@@nate8892 He is talking about the Eglinton subway that had started construction in the 90s but was cancelled and filled back up in favour of the Sheppard Subway
Eight years from now? Try more like 15 years from when this video was released! Ten's of Billions of dollars over budget and as of today not expected to open until 2030!
LRT's in general are a waste of everything. Subways are the way to go.
LRTs are the in-between for buses and subways and have the best cost to benefit ratio. LRTs should go wherever buses are strained but subways aren't financially viable.
AND STILL NOTHING OPENED....How shocking....!!!!
Yes it take so long
I think they should just extend the sheppard line I don’t know why they stopped at Don Mills it can go farther
LRT? Ewww, im a transit advocate from NYC, Toronto needs SUBWAYS, they are faster and offer the most capacity, the union does not think straight, I've never heard of LRTs that run about the same distance as what a subway would, just raise and widen the platforms and BAM ! SUBWAY!
Actually the speed is quoted to be roughly similar to subways because they have dedicated lines and fewer stops.
If you were to build a cross-Bronx line, would you build a subway (completely underground)?
Pretty much the situation in Toronto. Notice that pretty much all NY subway lines go through Manhattan.
Ze Han Actually the MTA would do a subway, we have subways under MAJOR highways and thoroughfares, the E train travels under the Van Wyck Expressway at some point and the B and D trains go underneath the Grand Concourse , and the 6 travels underneath and next to the Sheridan Expressway for two stops
Ze Han And also the TTC is going to build them underground using the same gauge as the subway
Yeah, for a portion, but the rest is above ground. And, the light rail lines will be standard gauge - different from the TTC gauge. But not to fear, I think a very good model we can follow is the german Stadtbahn model, and the Paris Tramway. Especially the Paris tramway - I mean, they connect suburb-to-suburb very well - many more people than the current Sheppard subway we have - while running on the street.
The reason why our Sheppard subway is so short is because of cost - it got cut short, so we now have a subway that goes to IKEA - and is sucking away money quite fast.
I mean, we shouldn't shut out any possibilities - subways, light rail, streetcars, buses. Hundreds of other cities - big cities - have light rail (even the New York area - NJ Transit), and Toronto isn't a special snowflake, so it's not unprecedented. We can learn from a lot of other people.
The Crosstown will open in 2025 at this point...
I can't wait for 2021, but working on 1 LRT line shouldn't take that long, however, the boring machines only dig 10m per day.
we need Elon Musk
If we get both China and Japan we can get it done in a day
Wow, this didn't age well.
It’s 2020 but it is DELAYED:D
It’s 2021, still nothing
Great. I don't to have to pay a too fares.
they should build LRT's but with huge underground section's like the Eglinton crosstown. Especially the Etobicoke Finch west line!
Or build it above ground in a way that does interfere with traffic??? Same thing no??
First of all, Chicago built its el system in the 1890's, the state street subway was built in the 1940's, second, London Underground is built majority above ground, in fact the first line was a trench with a roof over it in some sections, simply because it was the 1860's when it was bully, thirdly Paris is was denser the toronto and it surrounding areas have over 10 million and guess what it to has above ground sections! And finally the young subway line when completed in 1954 was ABOVE ground from bloor to eglinton! Obviously st-Clair to davisville was covered. And ur the fool simply because u did state multiple time that above ground transit has to run on the surface, interfering with traffic. If u agreed with me on that then we wouldn't be have this conversation, it's the same reason why I've stated so many point is to show u what I mean! So CLEARLY u dont know this topic and are retarded.
Awww no reply??? Poor baby
+Samuel Appiah You're misunderstanding, remember transit isnt only focused underground or street level like you think, you can build ELEVATED lines and they have no effect on the streets below.
Steven Ouellet When did I object to the possibility of it being elevated?
