Metrolinx take-over?

Premier Dalton McGuinty is saying the people of Toronto wants the Province to take over the TTC, Metrolinx is a Crown Agency that represents the Province, it's structure is to decide where the money goes and Adam Giambrone and David Miller are two of their board members.

I feel it would be a great idea if Metrolinx took over the subways and the new subway extensions, while leaving the TTC in control of the bus routes, and operations., it would work better both ways, but more people are needed to tell the province and the Feds what they want them to do!

Do people want to see more art in the subway? or creative projects?
Or do people want more camera's and continue hearing about violence?

London, England has just unveiled a jaw-dropping new plan to greatly increase the amount of walking and cycling in the city. London plans to spend the equivalent of almost a billion dollars over the next decade on a series of massive cycling and walking initiatives throughout the greater London area. The schemes include a huge bikes-for-hire system in the city centre, designated cycle commuter routes, bike zones with cycle priority streets in shopping and school areas, and a massive new wayfinding system for pedestrians.
