That was 1967-1972. I think that made the city's planners complacent. Little was really done to improve permanent infrastructure since then. A little bit of subway and some light rail, in the east end. You can see what I mean if you look up Toronto Subway on Wikipedia. The rest was filled in by busses. It's incredibly inconvenient to use the transit system unless you're within a fairly short distance from the subway system, or a GO (Government of Ontario) Train station.I took the GO Train in to work for the first couple of years I worked in the downtown core, then walked up from the Lakeshore area to the Yonge and Dundas area (about 2.5 Km on foot). With the number of cancellations, the need to wait for trains, and having to work on their every 1/2 hour during rush hours only schedule I eventually gave up and just started driving. It doesn't cost me substantially more, per day.</blockquote>
