Mayor Rob Ford has exposed a glimpse of his anticipated 2014 re-election campaign on Friday, when he speculated that the upcoming municipal election will be “fought again” on subways. During an interview to media reporters, Ford uncovered several aspects of his vision for future subway expansion, alleging that he intends to focus more on extending the network into the suburbs, including a connection between the planned McCowan Station, which is part of the proposed Scarborough extension, and Don Mills to the north.

Mayor Ford explained that in case he is re-elected again, he will be reconsidering plans of the so-called downtown relief line that has already gathered plentiful support from TTC riders. However, the mayor is now facing sheer criticism for a bitter remark that he made against a proposed plans of expanding TTC in downtown areas, alleging that he will keep it lower on his list of priority routes. Mr. Ford stated that “to be fair, the downtown people have enough subways already.”

Responding to his skeptic remark against downtown residents, Twitter users began disgracing the mayor, alleging that the downtown relief line is vital for easing the congestion they endure on Bloor-Danforth and Yonge-University-Spadina trains into and out of the city’s core. It was further highlighted that the downtown relief plan would not only benefit people of downtown Toronto, but also those who live outside. Majority indicated towards numerous concerns that the congestion in the city will only worse as the city grows and the subway system expands to York University and Vaughan.
