The province needs to initiate a GTA wide transit solution - until they integrate Brampton, Mississauga, York and Toronto - pumping money into the TTC alone won't do a thing.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the GTA, but any neighbourhood that's within 1/2 hour of downtown Toronto has been there for at least 20 years. That's how far behind the development of the road system here is. In rush hour Caledon is a lot more than 30 minutes from downtown TO.

This may or may not be true - but the fact is that the roads are inadequate for the population that lives here now - never mind any future development. And until the province gets real serious about a viable transit system to serve people in the outlying cities, the only viable transportation mode for most remains the car.
