Toronto has a transit crisis. Riders are sardined into overcrowded buses, street cars, and subways, and traffic congestion is a major problem. We all agree we need more public transit.
So why does the Wynne Government and provincial transit agency, Metrolinx, want to turn the new Union Station to Pearson Airport train line into a service for the 1%?
The 23 km long line will only have two stops between the terminals, even though the line travels through some of Canada's most densely populated areas, including Liberty Village. It could also cost up to $20 to $30 to travel one way. That's highway robbery. The Union-Pearson train line must be an affordable, clean, public train line for all.
