I like the ambition! I counted 71 new stations (not including existing ones that might be expanded in this scenario). Omitting the additional kilometres between stations, this works out to between 2 and 3 new stations added each year over a 30 year period. Are there transit systems in the world that add this kind of incremental capacity, a few kilometers (or stops) each year, or does it require a heavy construction phase of 5-7 years (after design is complete) which adds one new line, or at least a longer extension, at a time?
I note that the Crimson Line as drawn here has approximately the same number of stops as the TTC's forthcoming Eglinton Crosstown line which is partway through it's 12th year of active construction.
