Can Transit Finally Reduce Car Dependence in Toronto?

Toronto's long-awaited Eglinton Crosstown (Line 5) is finally open-joining the newly launched Finch West LRT after years of delays and billions over budget. In this episode of The Rundown, we examine what these new transit lines mean for getting around the city, whether they'll reduce car use, and what planners must learn to avoid repeating past mistakes. Andy Takagi, transportation reporter at the Toronto Star, breaks down the impact of Toronto's newest LRT projects. We also explore the hidden costs of car-centric cities with Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon, co-authors of "Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile" and hosts of The War on Cars podcast.
