Solving the transit crisis.

What if Toronto built street cars along subway routes. If one travels from Union to Queen, the only option should be to take the street car or walk. But if one needs to go from Union to Bloor you take the subway. So the subway acts as an express transit, the street car does the short stops. So hypothetically, if you needed to get to Dupont Station from Union, you'd take the subway to Bloor, get off and take the street car the remaining distance. This would be beneficial for a few reasons. The movement of people would be much faster, more people could be moved, if you lived between stops you could get on or off closer to where you need to with the street car and it would also help with clogging of the subway at rush hour. Not to mention the street car would also add street life and a sense of saftey. Subways can feel rather cold and impersonal.

There also needs to be a express transit from East to West. Ideally from the Beaches to Etobicoke with express stops at Parliament, Yonge, Bathurst, Dufferin & Roncesvalles. The street car can take care of the rest.
