Watching this after the recent derailment of one of it's trains, boggles my mind why they even greenlit this line in the first place instead of just extending Line 2 to begin with?
As mentioned they basically had the trains thrown on them by the province because they bought them for that Go line they never ended up Making that used these. The province basically was like “find something for this crap we bought so we don’t have to admit we fucked up or we won’t fund anything else”
@@generationwhyentertainment2455 In the words of the Prophet of Truth from Halo 2 "Politics... how tiresome.", meanwhile Toronto's public transit development is still a mess to this day like with how the first phase of the Eglinton LRT and the Finch West LRT we're suppose to open in 2020 but now aren't suppose to until next year or how it's taken us this long for another rapid transit route to begin construction for the downtown core of Toronto after decades of growing passenger congestion.
Yeah it’s probably a bunch of guys purposely drawing shit out to milk more money Iunno if I’m ever gonna do another TTC video but if I do I would love to talk about the old streetcars and how I lowkey miss them
Metrolinx/Go Transit are an Ontario Provincial Crown Corp. Crown Corporations are where the Government sets up a Corporation with themselves as the only shareholder. So, they're separate from the Government, but with the Government as their only shareholder they report to the Government in the same way a company would report to shareholders.

@@generationwhyentertainment2455 "just do it. It'll be funny" Also this was a good history of the Scarborough RT. The on the ground/personal footage of the RT was a nice touch
While the Scarborough RT was an absolute disaster, the Vancouver Skytrain, being the first automated metro, was a revolution in rapid transit that's now being replicated in numerous cities around the world, such as Toronto with the Ontario Line.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they just decide not to tear the RT down. Like. That whole thing is solid concrete that would be really hard to tear down outright. And yeah the sky train is much more functional than the RT. But in the TTCs defence they didn’t want the RT they wanted it to be streetcars.

Keep it up with info on the life/history of Toronto. And you think you can expand to Canada in general? It’s interesting learning about a different country, but it’s hard to find people who can make it interesting. Keep expanding, bud. Also, it’s a blessing to have a car. Oh god. 😌
Wait, wait, wait. Just when the hell did Canada invent the train? I thought you all just traveled on logs, either paddled by beavers or towed by teams of moose. Well, one thing's for sure. You should have never listened to Lyle Lanley.
@@generationwhyentertainment2455 Well here in St Louis we have an elevated train system called the Metrolink, and it's essential and well maintained. So.
Nah the RT was so problematic they shut it down 6 months after this video was uploaded. There are numerous other issues with the TTC such as the Eglinton LRT which had a completion date of summer 2016 when they started it. Also people get stabbed and smoke crack on the subway here I legit went out to film this on location 😂 gtfo of here
You did what I can't do now that its derailed. Great channel!

Bruh I swear they said the LRT was gonna be done by 2016 at one point.
@@generationwhyentertainment2455 Construction in Toronto always runs on it's own schedule.

Well one of the biggest train manufacturers in the world is headquartered here so.

The rest of our subway system is fine we just got roped into using experimental technology for a very small portion of it.
as a canadian i can confirm we do; this person is just putting up fake footage and conspiracies
