Train News: Airport rail link on its way
After years of fighting, it looks like the express train from Union Station to the airport is finally going to get built. From CTV Toronto...
Construction is set to begin on a rail link that will connect Toronto commuters to Pearson International Airport before the end of the year, the provincial government announced Wednesday.
Seems like they still plan on refurbishing a bunch of mothballed 50 year old diesel passenger trains for this route. Tickets are looking to be $20-25 each trip, which is quite a bit more than the $2.75 you can pay to make the same trip using the TTC. I suspect that downtown relief train/subway line along the same corridor would probably have been more useful than this project, but I guess we shall see...

Public transportation in Toronto always makes me very sad. Bopping around on the TTC as a reckless teenager was one thing, but the thought of trying to move my family around on it is a bit depressing. More lines to the subway network certainly would be welcome.
