TORONTO COMMUTER RAIL STUDY

This study was conducted to assess the potential of providing new commuter rail services over existing railroad right-of-way within metropolitan Toronto. This report provides information that would be acceptable as the basis for negotiations by the various government agencies and organizations, including the railways, which might be involved in the provision of new services. The report is divided into 5 main parts: commuter rail service in context, identification of potential routes, demand analysis, cost analysis and evaluation. /TRRL/
