There's some people in the U. S. that think that public transport is for certain socio-economic groups.

Outside of Chicago and New York I think that sentiment is pretty universal.

Unfortunately , you are 100 percent. Have a brother that lives in Victoria and calls buses "peasant wagons". What a POS remark. Many find ways to put themselves on that pedestal any chance they can get and what an easy way to do it.
Personally, I think good public transportation solves a lot of problems. . I'm a huge proponent of LRT/Subway systems especially when they're designed and implemented right. It can be a fast,cheap and reasonably convenient way of getting around.
On a personal note, I didn't get my first car till the age of 20. Before then, I got laughed at waiting for the bus by motorists passing by. Here in good ol'YEG. Back in the late 80s. Definitely universal.
Regardless of the reasons, good on New Yorkers and Chicagonians for their mentality on the usage of public trans.. I think Montreal might have a similar attiutude as well.

Does anyone know when Phases 2 and 3 of the Metro line's north-east extension are expected to begin and end?
Council funded the planning for the extension from Blatchford to Castledowns today. Now we wait until the provincial or federal government steps in and announces they are providing funding to help actually build it.
The absolute earliest window for this is probably the upcoming provincial election. The NDP might throw some meat to their base in Edmonton and announce funding for the Metro line extension. Whether or not the Valley Line is open by then will affect the odds of this happening.

It is interesting to see both Festival Line and Energy Line included in the picture.

Those LRT station names are rather old, are they not?

That's not an official map. Just look at the logo...

Anyone know how much land they need to buy for the Metro Line? Seems to me most of its approved route is along roads, through parkland and generally city-owned property
