And Bloor-Yonge is a mess. The relief line should have been build decades ago. Even then, not quite the same situation. Bloor-Yonge has two transfers, and the transfer is further outside of downtown.

Also, capacity issues at Bayview/Confederation approach, increasing service on the S/E Transitway will help relieve the issue.
Once both Bayview/Confederation and Hurdman/Confederation do eventually reach their breaking point, N/S ridership will be high enough that we can look at a Bank St. Subway as an alternate route downtown, and that would relieve the congestion.

For sure, prior to the shut-down, Carleton was the main destination, but with major TOD, a massive new health care complex, an arena, the library and new development, that will change.
With that said, it's not an immediate problem that needs to be solved, but for sure, I think Bank Street should be considered as a relief line for Bayview and Hurdman over the next decades.
