Eventually, all such urban train networks will become fully automated.

The loss of various jobs for people over the next few decades could be rough for people.

A totally AI run machine world could eventually produce a very efficient, but inhumane world.

A partial subway closure on TTC Line 2 could last 'a few days' after a fire

 https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/partial-subway-closure-on-line-2-could-last-a-few-days-after-fire-ttc-says-1.6862790

There can always be better redundancy by having enough parallel bus routes.

https://www.cp24.com/news/partial-subway-closure-on-line-2-could-last-a-few-days-after-fire-ttc-says-1.6862785

So whenever a train line is out of service, the number of buses can be quickly increased.

It would have been devastating if Vancouver's backwards mentality had convinced Toronto, SF & Melbourn to get rid of their streetcars & trams.

TTC Subway emergency rail repair

 https://www.blogto.com/city/2025/01/ttc-outage-emergency-rail-repair/

If every major subway & metro train line had 4 tracks, it would be so much easier to do maintenance & repairs. Even a triple track line would allow more flexibility.

The line is solely operated with the TTC's newer Toronto Rocket (TR) subway trains, which are based on Bombardier's Movia family of trains. Unlike other trains in the Toronto subway rolling stock, the TR trains have a "six-car fixed" articulated configuration with full-open gangways, allowing passengers to walk freely from one end to the other.

Finch LRT shut down all day due to “weather conditions.”

 https://toronto.citynews.ca/video/2026/01/15/finch-lrt-shut-down-all-day-due-to-weather-conditions It should have been a proper subway line, protected from the crappy snow & ice. In contrast, Edmonton & Calgary are mostly surface lines and can usually run through the terrible winter conditions.
