This is an embarrassing article. 

Subway is good because people live in Scarborough? Well...do they live near the subway? No? Maybe that's not such an important metric, then. 

The LRT will only cost slightly less than the subway? Well, even if that's true, does the LRT serve the same people as the subway? Oh wait no...it has three times as many stations and serves hundreds of thousands more people. Is it worth spending more money to serve fewer people? 

I guess Marcus Gee thinks it is, because we've made a decision and we should stick with it. No matter how foolish.
