Subways of the world, to scale

Not sure what you mean. A simple look at Vancouver reveals a modern, plastic accepting, completely automated and growing network of under and above-ground trains. Oh, and that isn't owned by the government. Could that be the issue?

Point is that there are 3 extensions to that system I can name right now that should be put in place though prior to it being considered adequate to the region, never mind going beyond.

1. Extension to UBC 2. Evergreen Extension 3. Surrey Extension

If you look a Toronto, they're desperate for a complete conversion - New York style - to a subway/mass transit only system. There is so much they should be doing, but aren't.

I don't need the transit to be owned by government, but both Federal and Provincial levels should be regular contributors, like they are in every other nation.
