I don't see the point of a Carling LRT, since people would have to transfer twice over a short distance to get downtown, including a Trillium Line transfer that might take 12 minutes. As long as the Trillium Line is single-tracked, I'm not sure that it would be able to handle the extra ridership anyway. There's also the issue of service shutdowns caused by people crashing their cars in trains, like in Waterloo or Calgary.
I doubt that we're going to see a Carling BRT either, since the city and voters are probably not willing to pay hundreds of millions to move curbside bus lanes to the median, even if it would improve service, not having to deal with turning cars. Maybe a BRT will happen when Carling will need a full rebuild.
