GGH Transportation and Growth Plan

[danbrotherston]

For a flight of fancy, (via BlogTO) here is what someone guesses that provincial transportation could look like in 2070. Of particular interest, the creator added a couple heavy rail routes up the CN & CP line from Cambridge to Kitchener plus 4-5 LRT routes while extending the original Ion route up to Elmira.

Side note: how many of us here will be posting to WRC in 2070?

With the currently observed increases in cost, that's going to cost something like 2-3 times the entire GDP of Earth...

But in all seriousness, drawing fantasy maps is all well and good, but we must control costs if we want to continue building any transit at all...

Frankly, I don't think Phase 2 is actually feasible at the new cost estimate...and bluntly...I don't even think it should happen at that cost.
