"It’s almost like if you treat transit like a slogan instead of a network, it doesn’t work well"

Councillor Gord Perks - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/torys-smart-track-transit-plan-would-cause-surge-in-suburban-driving-analysis-shows/article34326461/?reqid=ad309234-4e00-409e-af39-127a9a4cb3f3

"With only 3 new stops (1 Subway and 2 SmartTrack stops), SmartTrack earns a fail in its promise to provide Scarborough with 3 new Subway stops and 3 new SmartTrack stops in place of 5 existing SRT stops"

Phil Prentice

"John Tory recognizes that an extension of the Bloor-Danforth subway is the right way to go - It's unfortunate that he has decided to drop two of the subway stops to help justify his SmartTrack - $1 billion of the $4 billion being wasted on SmartTrack would cover the cost of the two dropped subway stations and leave $3 billion for the Crosstown East LRT and the Relief Line Subway"

Phil Prentice

"It's politics over sensible planning"
