Key words are "they think". Article over in the Toronto Star cites 'Transit Planners' at Ryerson University who ran simulations of trips in Scarborough and concluded the 1-stop Rob Ford Folly subway extension would be faster than existing or proposed LRT alternatives. But the time saved would be largely eaten up by longer bus rides to get to the one subway station. 

And the one-stop Rob Ford Folly subway extension would do NOTHING for people in Scarborough who aren't travelling downtown and also eat up the money that was supposed to be available for an extension to the Eglington East LRT. 

Then there's that extra tax everyone is paying for what should have been a 'free' LRT.
