The most frustrating thing about the sanctimonious nature of a lot of the transit city and surface "light rail" talk in Toronto is that it is distinctly not *light rail* that we built, but the St. Clair streetcar with nicer stops.
Feb 5, 2026 17:13The same people screaming at people for "wasting" money on subways suggest we should build light rail "like Calgary etc.", but then of course we were not, and did not do that.
See images.
I say this because I've had senior transit people go, "What are you complaining about Reece? Edmonton has light rail and it's great!".
They *aren't* the same thing, and its super concerning that people who should know better don't!
