Finally The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) had an open house today for the new Sheppard subway line, allowing people to ride the 6.4-kilometer route for free.

Hopefully the money will be found to expand it west to York University and east to Scarborough Town Centre. A subway line or dedicated streetcar line along Eglinton Ave between Yonge and the Allen would be nice also. 10:55:04 PM
