Then show your facts that the 407ETR is as congested as the 401?
Obviously, you have not used the 407ETR during the peak periods.
No one disputes this except you:
Poll: Who gets your vote
- Thread starter K Douglas
- Start date
Obviously, you have not used the 407ETR during the peak periods.

But I thought that this is what you stated in the first place:
Thanks to the Federal Government's policies we are seeing this significant investment, that is unprecedented.
Those who constantly abuse this Government should dig their heads shamefully into the sand. We know that Dougie Boy leaked this news beforehand to take some credit from The Federal Govt.
Trudeau and Ford unveil Honda’s plan to build four new factories in Ontario
The Japanese automaker will have an electric vehicle factory and auto assembly plant in a region where they have been making gasoline-powered cars and trucks since 1986.

But of course Pee Pee the most nauseating will bring his usual pessimistic despicable POV:
Usual playmaking that only the right wingers will buy!!

Obviously, his spokesperson who as a result is pushed in the corner will not respond to this question:
We know that is all the Conservatives will say, except if they are elected then they will not stop these subsidies that would kill the jobs but keep on blaming the previous Liberals for it.
Usual playmaking that only the right wingers will buy!!
There's no "either way you look at it"...your math was wrong.
Bike lanes work better where there is more density and smaller land area...like Amsterdam.
Toronto doesn't fit that description as I've said from the beginning. Just because bike lanes work in one place doesn't mean they work everywhere. In Toronto, they've made traffic worse.
You are the one who first made the claim it's under utilized...you prove your claim.
It would have a lower population density if it had the same land area as Toronto. That's the whole point here.
Since it doesn't, bike lanes work better in places like that compared to places like Toronto that have a larger land area and lower population density.
Would have, Could have does not contradict the fact that you were the first one to state that Amsterdam has a lower population density than Toronto, and then posted a link to dispute it!!
Hundreds of thousands use it on a daily basis. That's not "under utilized". That's using it for the intended purpose.
Maybe if there wasn't perpetual construction on the 401 it would move along faster. Maybe if the 401 was designed with less bottlenecks it would move along faster.
That doesn't mean the 407ETR is under utilized...it means the 401 has a lot of issues.
The bike lanes would work better if there is less of a population and fewer cars on the streets. The fact is that more residents use the Public Transport in cities like Amsterdam and London.
In fact in London they even charge a daily toll for driving into their city centres with cars. Of course bicycles do not incur such charges. London like Amsterdam has a much better transport system and you do not need a cart travel back and forth from the city centre!!
The link I posted didn't dispute it...I'm the one who showed you the population densities.
Why would I dispute it?
You didn't provide anything.
Those cities were built, designed and evolved into what they are long before Toronto. Toronto developed into what it is now. You can't just try and mimic other cities that are different in nature. That's the problem with our council who take free trips abroad to "study" places that are different and then try and make changes in Toronto that obviously don't work.
If the 401 has Express as well as collector lanes that are a bottle neck while 407ETR has far fewer lanes, what does that tell you?
The 407ETR barely has any cars outside of the rush hours, while the 401 keeps on running at snails pace in the vicinity of Yonge Street and Uptown.
But I showed you the facts that you just cannot accept!!
You showed the population densities which contradicted what you stated to Frankfooter in the first place!!
Today's news, 23% of Canadians experienced food insecurity in 2022.
This must be a success for capitalism as it will drive down labour rates by making people desperate for work, correct?
The Rebel says it this way, food banks are communism so must be cut.

I don't see many cyclists coming in from within the borders of the city to downtown yet bike lanes are there and only serve a select few yet take away lanes for vehicles.
Useless.
It tells me the 401 is flawed and continual construction to fix those flaws causes congestion. Usage of the 407ETR has increased year over year.
If you are not afraid of facts, you should read this study.
The use of Highway 407 ETR has steadily increased since 1999, and the highway averaged 413,000 weekday trips in 2017. This represents 50% more trips on the average weekday than on the GO Transit system’s entire network (buses and trains) (Metrolinx, 2018). The total vehicle kilometres travelled (VKT) on Highway 407 ETR in 2017 amounted to 2.6 billion

Its very entertaining that you use a trip counter to discuss the 407 vs GO.
How many people do you think are on each GO train that counts as 1 trip on that stat, skoob?
Listen skoobie, that is a flawed Statistic of yours. There is a sizeable population who live North of the City and outside of the GTA that have to travel say from the East End to The Brampton or The Airport Area. It makes zero sense to go South just to catch the Go Train to Union Station and then The Subway all the way to Brampton. To Union station from Oshawa will take you almost an hour!!
Now looking at that Chart of the growth of Personal vs Business Travel Figure 4. Personal travel is just around less than 20% growth from 2003 to 2017.
On the other hand the Business travel has grown by close to 90%. Moreover, a number of personal travels are reimbursed by businesses. The 407ETR though paid by the taxpayers once again is designated to serve mainly the elitists and the businesses. Most middle class families avoid it unless it is essential or critical!!
