That city built the subways with surplus money from the fare box.
Blame the fuckin' councillors who have turned it into their own kingdom begging money from higher ups.

Want money from the Feds like the States, have a powerful mayor like American cities do, not your stupid council that over turns your puppet mayor.

Toronto: whiners for more money. :rolleyes:



That's right, the City built the original subway with money from the fare box because the system was profitable. This was in the 1950s though.

After the expansion into the suburbs it all turned to shit and can never be profitable again.

Personally I would prefer that the feds lower taxes so that there is more taxation room available for the province to tax and build something. (Who wants subway money being skimmed off the top by the feds for a Moosejaw light rail?)

Because the airport is technically on Mississauga property.

For 30 years, they've been trying to cut a deal.

Squabbling with another duckberg.

Wow, real world-class city you got there, Hogtown!
:rofl:

:lalala:
Their water is polluted and their mayor's a dork
They dress real dummy and they think theyre New York
:lalala:



The real reason is that there's no money for any transit expansion and there hasn't been for 40 years.

The reason that there is no money is because senior governments refuse to fund transit so it's all on the back of property taxpayers (20%) and riders (80%).

The feds have plenty of money to spend in Quebec though.

I believe that happened because they were lacking one insecure, gay, Canadian, white man.

If that person had been present it never would have happened.

Toronto has people from literally everywhere on the planet. So many different countries in fact that you can't make assumptions based on appearance about where exactly they're from.



Untrue. They are mostly from a few countries.

The 407 is on a 20 year lease.

The QEW and 401 are completely free - as is highway 7.



407ETR is on a 99 year lease to a Spanish-Australian consortium. (Only 80-something years left.)

Douchey and corporate.

Bunch of white-shirted corporate shitheads with Chumbawumba haircuts and wide Windsor tie knots rushing from place to place. Coked out of their minds too.

Depressing as fuck on weekdays. :frown:

After hours and weekends it's empty, although the corporate douches get so fucked up on the weekend before Christmas that London Ambulance has to set up a mobile station there to process all the drunks.

. said:There are a lot of nice suburban cities all over country but I'm finding that quite a few of them might have a certain urban polish on the exterior, but the quality of the services tend to be low. Lots of incompetence and ignorance with no desire to do better or at least stop doing things wrong. Plus you get a serving of arrogance if the area is upscale. Even in the face of modest competition, the attitude doesn't change much.

When doing business in one of these small quasi urban cities you paying more for less than you would in an "expensive" real city. It's an odd paradox.



You're hit the nail on the fucking head. Bang on.

:potd:

Standards of behaviour are much higher in NYC or London. They have nice inhabitants but why should they put up with any bullshit?

Living the stressful, unfulfilling, empty, bleak, shallow, materialistic, cookie-cutter, suburban lifestyle that your generation built is not appealing to us.

Driving a car is at the centre of your defective lifestyle.

Plus the financial costs of operating a car are very high.
