I'm curious what proponents of overpasses think of the height issue. Imagine you are on Waterloo, and treat this as if it were floor 1 of a building. intercity buses and ION are 1-2 floors below you, on either B1 or B2. To get over top of a GO train, you will need to go up to either floor 3 or 4 of a building. So an overpass would see you walk up the equivalent of 4 flights of stairs, and then down 6 flights of stairs to get to ION/GRT/intercity buses, so 10 flights of stairs used for the most time-sensitive use. An underpass would need to go down 1-2 floors to get under the tracks, meaning you would use 2 flights of stairs to wind up more quickly (and less exhausted) on your desired floor.
