You mean will they figure out we need more roads so we can fit all the cars?https://globalnews.ca/news/4287922/toronto-worst-city-commuting-north-america/

1.5 hours for 10 km? My god. What are people doing, taking a nap halfway through?
My 50km ride from Pickering to Pearson is 35-40 minutes.

There are different ways of figuring this out, depending who you speak to. That's part of the problem. I'm curious what your way is
They need an integrated plan for cars, trucks, buses, rail, TTC, taxis, motorcycles, e-bikes, bicycles, joggers, pedestrians and maybe even rollerblades/skateboards.
Or at least to not mess up the other sectors, if they concentrate on one.
What always amazed me about Toronto. A city with a real metropolitan population of about 6 million that only has one (1) continous highway running through it. At 7,8 and 9 o'clock everyone in that city jumps on that one highway to get to work. One guy stops to change a tire and everybody slows down to look. And...nobody can figure out what is wrong. That's stupid Ontario, full of stupid people. Infrastructure stupid and hockey stupid. Toronto nation.
That's the better way?
Maybe it was in the 1920's. I don't understand Toronto's fixation with street cars.
Sent from the moon!
They're usually very efficient. The problem is the can't pass each other. If the first one gets slowed down by a traffic incident (Stupid cager) it gets over packed slowing entries and exit even more. The car behind might be half full but the SC can't leap frog like a bus.
Huh you just contradicted yourself.
All it takes is someone waiting for a left turn in front of streetcar for the whole lane to be delayed. Never mind the other lane is probably full of parked cars...?? Ya this could happen with cars, bus, trucks, but they could move around the left turner.
I see no efficiently when something can't move or respond to a situation.
They disrupt traffic, they don't flow with it. At least a bus can move over or go around stuff, has options to keep moving.
It's not the 20's Toronto needs to move on with this $hite.
They're more efficient in that they cost less to operate and maintain than buses. The biggest savings is that one driver can move 132 passengers in the smallest streetcar, while the same driver could only move 77 in the largest bus. Plus, because the streetcar runs on rails it's much easier to extend it and to electrify it, both of which pile on the savings.Huh you just contradicted yourself.

It doesn't make sense to make the efficient people mover move out of the way of the inefficient people mover. Instead left turns should be banned, as they are in most city centres even without streetcars.
But that's 'war on the car' talk so we can't have that.
I think Toronto's traffic problems are going to be there for a while. I have only seen one initiative that makes things better -- Tory's no parking stance.Yes, crush load is the term used to compare maximum capacity. They didn't call it that for the bus site probably to avoid confusing their non-technical target audience. I doubt it's anything else.
Regardless, a small streetcar can fit way more people than a large bus.
