I know. It's ridiculous - Toronto is like the only city on earth that would actually rip out a functioning transit line instead of maintaining it.
(Yeah, I know it's happened a few times - but very, very rarely.)
The worst part is that Vancouver has the same rolling stock and just did a big refurb on them, extending their life by another 20 years or so. Meanwhile, Toronto cries "oh it's falling apart and we can't get parts" just so they can pander to the masses who scream subway subway subway.
Even if the tunnel at Ellesmere DID have to get rebuilt to accommodate MK II ICTS (new trains), thats $190 million.
The new subway line is like 2 Billion.
So stupid and sad. Love the little futuristic rt.
