Every time I go to a "world class" city, I use public transit. Not only is the rail systems reliable, but its cheap and easy to use. Chicago, Baltimore (where main lines are free to use), Seattle (where transit is free from 9-5), Philly, Montreal is pretty good as well, Paris...etc. Special note getting to and from the airport where 3-5 bucks always gets you there or to downtown in under an hour.
In Ontario our rail is pitiful, made worse by the fact we have to borrow it off of other company's to move people on. We need to build more rail, even if private sector owns it, like all the lines in Japan.
Our highway use is very saturated.
One thing I don't understand as well , is why everything has to be in downtown Toronto. Why can't companies have satellite offices in the suburbs to keep people from driving in downtown all the time? Surely workers can get through a day without face to face contact from their desk. Off topic, but end of rant.
Also, our traffic problems are not on the B line. They are on the A line. Put LRT right down the middle of Upper James first. Downtown traffic is at worst bad a couple hours a day. Sorry , too much coffee today.
