Does anyone have faith that our governments will have a solution? Will it be as bad elsewhere too?
A Conservative government building a proper metro system? The only things certain in this world are death and trying to make the 401 bigger in a desperate attempt to relieve traffic by inducing more traffic.
TBF, the GTA is seeing the biggest transit expansion in their history, and by far the biggest expansion in North America. TTC has the Ontario Line, Line 5, and Line 6 under construction. GO Expansion is making huge improvements, from more frequent service to electrification to a lot of smaller projects that will improve travel time and reduce conflicts. Then there's projects outside the core like the LRT projects in Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, and Kitchener-Waterloo.
At the same time, the Ford government seems to want to have it both ways with the 413, cutting tolls, eliminating registration fees, etc.
EDIT: Added some other projects outside the core.
