Well the Bradford line runs through Vaughan, and the first stop heading north is the York U stop, which isnt on the property. Its East of Keele, and you have to take a shuttle bus.

Secondly, the train only runs during rush hour and with trafic. So if you want to go north at 1pm, you have to take a bus to Yorkville instead.

So yes there is, but is it accessible during the day, no.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to extend Go train service instead of building a new subway?

I think in terms of set up costs it certainly would be cheaper to extend service on the bradford line, to increase frequency.

In terms of sustainability im not so sure. I know the GO did get about $2b in funding promised(key word) to them about a year or two ago, to help extend its services and build a bigger network.

Im just trying to think about their operating costs from a day to day. From other lines which i take, during the day they run buses, and only run trains during rush hour with the flow of traffic. I guess they worked it out that its much cheaper to run the buses than trains.

When i used to take the Go train from downtown to York, not many people used it. It seemed like they squeezed the stop in, to give riders another option, but not many of them actually used it. Max 15 people would get off at York.

he said we had this huge defecit so he had to break promises and give us the largest tax increase in ontario history. He also raised electricity prices through the roof (another broken promise).

Now suddenly we have all this money to throw around? How about erasing this huge tax increase first?

Deficit my ass...

Did you not read the $1.4B deficit figure?

As for the tax increase, i presume you are reffering to the health tax?

If we waited till Ontario was running a balanced budget, then funding wouldnt even be promised until (projected) 2008-2009. Would you rather they borrow to help improve now, or wait another 2-3 years before work is even started?

And if they waited to promise more money, then that would give you just another opportunity to call them liars. Thats what I actually find funny.
