 Transit Toronto - Weblog: Editorial: Time To Replace the Scarborough RT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
These riders board overcrowded trains at the Scarborough Town Centre, pass three intermediate stops — two of which are among the least used in the system — and finally reach Kennedy, where they stop, descend three flights of stairs, and board waiting subway trains to take them the rest of the way on their journey.
As the Scarborough RT comes up for renewal, the TTC should consider scrapping it, replacing it with an extension of the Bloor-Danforth subway line from Kennedy to Scarborough Centre.
Extending the Bloor-Danforth subway to the Scarborough Town Centre would be expensive, at least $650 million, and it seems counter-intuitive to spend this money to replace a piece of infrastructure that has already cost over $200 million in tax dollars.
