Toronto’s OneCity Transit Plan

Toronto’s $30 billion, OneCity Transit Plan extends over 30 years, and would involve six subway/train lines, 10 LRT lines, and five bus and streetcar lines. OneCity Transit Plan is gaining momentum as Toronto prepares to host the 2015 PanAm Games.

“OneCity suggests a 1.9 percent increase in property taxes over the next four years. For the average household this means an additional $45 per year.” There is a widespread support for the nominal tax increase, since the transit plan would benefit everyone: the motorists as well as the commuters.
