When asked about the possibility of the province taking over all or part of the TTC, Premier Doug Ford's answers suggested it's definitely going to happen.
The PC platform leading up to the election had suggested the province taking over subways, leaving the city to control streetcars and buses.
"We said we believe in a regional transportation system, and that's what we're going to provide," Ford said Wednesday afternoon. "But we are going to consult with the regions across the GTA along with Toronto."
Ford says there will be consultations working with all Mayors within the region and not just Mayor John Tory - "if he is the Mayor in October," he added.
"When we take over something as large as transit, I think it's nothing but a benefit to the city of Toronto," he said. "The reason we're doing it - as I've said all along - for 12 years, we just can't seem to get transit built in the city of Toronto."
Ford even said his own brother, Rob, couldn't do it when he was mayor.
Wednesday morning, the Mayor said he'll only entertain a take-over if it's in Toronto's best interest.
One day earlier, Tory and Transportation Minster John Yakabuski had an initial meeting where nothing in particular was presented. However, Tory made clear to the minister that he doesn't want to see a repeat of what happened with council's reduction in seats. He wants to see full consultations before anything happens.
To that, Ford said there will be consultations working with all Mayors within the region and not just Mayor John Tory - "if he is the Mayor in October," he added.
Ford said he thinks the TTC and its employees do a great job, but that he believes other people can build subways much more efficiently.
