TOXIC EXPRESS TRAIN PROJECT IS ON ITS WAY!
Does This Make Toronto A World Class City?
Published: May 2009
Source: bloornews.comDid you know Berlin, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Munich, Oslo, Rome and Stockholm are considered world class cities? One of the major reasons they gained their status is thanks to their electric trains that stop intermediately along the route.
Toronto is merely aiming in that direction as construction for high-speed, diesel fueled trains going from Pearson Airport to Union Station is in full effect. This translates into $300 million of tax money being spent on a private sector, allowing over 100 noisy, pollution causing trains to go by each day.
