TORONTO - Premier Dalton McGuinty is accusing Ontario's Progressive Conservatives of playing politics with Toronto transit.

He says Opposition Leader Tim Hudak should respect the will of city council when it comes to Ontario's $8.4-billion contribution to the transit expansion project.

Hudak is pushing the governing Liberals to order Toronto to build subways, even through a majority of city councillors are backing light rail.

McGuinty says the Tories are trying to align themselves with a "particular group of folks" in Toronto.

Mayor Rob Ford is pushing for subways and is facing a key transit vote March 21.

The premier says it's an important decision and there will be some controversy over whether the city should build more subways or go with light rail.
