Have to say though that I agree with Ken Seiling:
"Our real concerns are with our rail linkages and GO Train linkages with Toronto and that’s already covered off by Metrolinx, we already have an organization that is doing that and working on that, so I don’t see how a super large body would advance that.” said Seiling.
Seiling says he is also concerned about local issues taking a back seat to Toronto issues, “I think there is a risk that the whole plan to build more subways in Toronto and some of the problems they have in the GTA would put at risk some of the issue we have to deal with.”
Yes. Unified fares do work in Switzerland, but then again everything works in Switzerland. I'm not thrilled with Toronto dominating our transit system. But it's the Toronto Board of Trade, so it's just probably something that people would talk about but no one would actually implement.
