To save Toronto from its transit nightmare, billions of dollars (CAD) are being spent to overhaul the subway system, namely with the Ontario Line. The new route cuts through Downtown Toronto and could be game-changing for residents. But with the original budget a mere memory, will this project deliver for the city?
