  mean…you really don’t need an extensive subway network here Found the 905’er

  The streetcar network is a complete shitshow. Multiple streetcars bunched up, with hundreds of people inside, being blocked by a few SUV drivers and parked cars on the side.of the street.

  Its faster to bike or walk in most cases.

  Same for the buses. There’s a reason the bus lines hete have nicknames like “the sufferin’ dufferin”

      Utilisation is good, but overcrowding illustrates the point of this meme, which is that the public transit system is being neglected and hasn’t kept pace with demand.
