Toronto MPP supports Gateway Hub plan for east-end commuters
A Toronto-area MPP endorses a Metrolinx initiative that he says would reduce east-end Toronto transit-users’ commuting time to downtown. Introduced in 2008, the “Big Move” was a 25-year plan from Metrolinx to develop and integrate elements of transit in the GTA to improve accessibility and commuting times.
