[edit] Westward extension
Any idea why the westward extension is no longer a priority ? It would be so helpful if the subway was from Downsview to Scarborough Town Centre. Right now its barely used and seems a waste of $. sikander 16:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Because people in Scarborough have been screaming for better transit for ages. I'd say that extension eastwards is top priority, then westwards to Downsview and beyond. But you never know. Things might accelearte depending on the money we get. Writerchick
The Sheppard subway has been criticized on numerous occasions. Currently, the only westward "rapid transit" on the line is the 196B York University Rocket route. The route only operates M-F. Perhaps Saturday and/or Sunday express busses may be used as a temporary solution, similar to the proposed "busway" untill the Spadina expansion.
I think that because of the Spadina Line Extension, this might get more proirity considering people need a faster bridge between the Yonge Side and Spadina side. (I'm just saying.) --Yllianos 17:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
"Barely used"? So standing-room-only during rush hour counts as "barely used"? Ground Zero | t 02:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No Longer a Priority?
Toronto has made it seem that any extension of this line is no longer a priority with the Transit City plan, shouldnt this be added somewhere in the article? Anung Mwka 02:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
