Confederation Line East LRT Extension (Stage 2) [Blair to Trim] | U/C

Yes, the Baseline Transitway is a crucial missing link. It is true that Transitways are more expensive to operate but we need this missing link to provide an overall better network. Besides, what is more expensive to operate than Transitways but buses in mixed traffic.

I still contend that the failure to put the Hospital complexes on the Innes Road rapid transit route was a big mistake. All to satisfy a handful of complainers near Russell Road. Surely, a short shallow tunnel would have addressed those concerns. So we reroute through the horrendous big box Trainyards which is so anti-pedestrian when all we need is a pedestrian route from the Confederation Line through the VIA Rail station. Why do we need a second rapid transit line backing onto the Belfast rail yards, as if it is going to generate any ridership?
