Why Is Toronto So Bad at Building Transit? Let’s

To put it bluntly: we couldn’t build Toronto again today if we wanted to. This week, a new report from the University of Toronto’s School of Cities does some of the work explaining how we got here, building on similar work from NYU’s Marron Institute of Urban Management. There are, predictably, numerous factors driving the explosion of transit costs, and they’re not unique to Toronto, Ontario, or Canada, even if the School of Cities report focuses on building costs at Metrolinx.
