Article: They didn’t add any lanes in Toronto, just to outlying areas where they claim traffic was improved. Toronto traffic still miserable after nothing was done there.
Seriously, if this is costing us 11 billion a day in economic damage, get more people working from home. The solution is so blindingly obvious. It saves money and can be done overnight. Fuck, we are a stupid bunch of apes.
I’d love an east-west Go train line that follows the 401 from the Rouge National Park in scarbs to Mississauga.
Lakeshore east west. 30 minute all day & week service. A little more south but it works good.
It’s clearly not enough. It only serves the commuters downtown. Everyone was talking about getting stuck on the 401. Maybe building commuter rail parallel with the 401 would help address that.
More roads equal easier commute which means more people buy cars and move out of the city. They should be focusing on lowering housing costs in the city and investing in public transit.
It’s Toronto, how many people didn’t already have cars? It’s not exactly London or New York City.
I’m in BC. We have a car, but traffic into Vancouver is heavy in the morning so I take the Bus connector and Skytrsin. I get to work almost in same amount of time. More transit with better schedules reduces traffic much faster than adding lanes.
