Mayor Rob Ford supports a public-private partnership to build the Eglinton LRT. But transit advocates worry about higher fares and more complicated commutes if the private sector ends up running the line, too.

Ford believes the TTC should get out of the construction business and focus on service delivery, his policy advisor told reporters on Wednesday.

“The mayor thinks the minister (of transportation) has been a quick study on the file. He’s on the same wavelength,” said Mark Towhey.

But former TTC vice-chair Joe Mihevc said “balkanizing” Toronto transit “will serve no one.”
