Toronto transit is a Tragedy. 
Pre amalgamation the municipalities of the GTA bickered endlessly over transit funding and expansion with each other, the province, and the fed so nothing happened . Post amalgamation Toronto, and the 905 municipalities delayed harmonizing and expanding a region wide system to fight with each other and higher levels of government. Now when so many of these jurisdictional issues are finally overcome and feds and province are friendly to transit improvement. The city government can't get its act together even as the situation reaches a crisis level. Instead, the good will of the Province destroyed with the Scarborough subway farce.  Make no mistake the reason the Province rejected the highway tolls was largely about not wasting $ and political capital to keep city councilors in power who have repeatedly made bad decisions and then dumped the mess at the feet of the premier.
