 Steve Munro’s Web Site » Suddenly Transit’s A Big Issue Again (3)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Transit has its supporters, but the proposals are short-sighted, sporadic, underfunded and lacking innovation and foresight.
For any transit project to be successful, it has to span a large area.  Viva is successful because within a few years, it built a very large network.  A large network will convince motorists to give up their car.  Viva was also done in a short time which fits inside election cycles.
Shouldn’t transit supporters like us be forward looking?  We can question the effectiveness of the Sheppard line all we want.  However, the fact is the metro line will always be there.  It is built.  We cannot fill up the tunnel and build a tram over it.
