Can’t we just reallocate the provincial money to building subways?

A:

The Premier has stated that there is no additional money available for transit funding.

  • If Mayor Ford’s plan to reallocate all funding for the four LRT lines to the construction of a subway extension in Scarborough were to be approved, this could cancel all additional transit projects.
  • Not only are subways more expensive, they would require years of more studies, which would delay the construction of new transit in Toronto for at least 5-10 years.
