If the answer to each question is “Yes”, then I can see how this could be a good move.

1.Does the City's focuses on GO Transit result in more inner province travel using Mass Transit?

2.Will this result in more trips to and from Ontario cities?

3.Will more frequent use of GO result mass transit gaining more signifigance in the minds of the public?

4.Is it cheaper to take a reliable GO to and from work than a car?

5.Will this increase the number of drivers choosing GO over thier car?

6.Will people using thier cars less, result fewer cars on our inner streets?

7.If people start using mass transit more and cars less, will they use inner city mass transit more?

8.Will using cars less on the highway, bring more longevity and less ware to peoples car?

9.Will people who buy new cars, demand more cars designed for local travel? (under 80km/h electric or hybrid)

10.Will an increase of people living in Hamilton and working else where, result in other cities doing the same?

11.Will city natives and visitors, who use Mass Transit for inner province travel, also rely on Mass Transit for inner city travel?

12.Will this result in more people using inner city Mass Transit, requiring steps taken to supply the demand for its use?

13.Will having fewer cars on the road, make the laying of a Light Rail Transit easier, less expensive and minimize traffic congestion?

14.Will building a proven public need maximize the likelihood of a timely construction?

15.Will we have our LRT by 2016?

Either way, I think we are missing some facts. This does seem to be a little sudden and unexplained. We need some more info on the City's end vision and how they plan to get there.
