“God bless the Weston family,” says Ford, when asked to explain why he won’t introduce legislation to stop surveillance pricing, the latest scam being used to gouge consumers. There you have it folks: conservative politicians rule for billionaires, not ordinary working people.

Our model for transit investment, operations, and maintenance is frankly broken. There is almost no incremental reforms at Metrolinx that will work. Between UP, the ONxpress/RER fiasco, and the cost disease in every project we do, serious change is needed.

Colin can you ask Doug if he has ever been grocery shopping in his life?

when miis are too small they use a stool to reach things 😭😭😭

oh fuck, im on the subway. damn i hate that i can just sit here and read or watch something. i really wish i was responsible for manually operating a more confined vehicle that is more likely to get me killed than this one

I already seen hella broke niggas mad about this 😭

I am really getting tired of @EnglishRail prattling on on @metromorning about eliminating streetcar stops as a way to speed service. This is a complete red herring. Yes there are a few closely spaced stops, but overall this is not going to fix basic problems with service quality.

Perfect example of where cops need to be defunded so real experts can do the job instead.

PS it was the Liberals who said no.

Problems with UP Express tracks dating back to 2015 defy repair attempts, confidential Metrolinx report reveals TL;DR or you can't read past the paywall Flaws in the construction of the UP Express near Pearson airport have led to repeated track failures since the service opened more than a decade ago. The persistent problems will likely require an expensive and disruptive solution, say experts. “Early construction defects … were identified before the line entered service in 2015,” according to the report. Those early track defects included incorrectly levelled and weakened concrete, as well as excessive grinding on the track. The obvious sign of the track problems for UP Express riders has been the notably slower speed of the trains near Pearson. “The low speed is probably because they just never could fix the track properly,” rail consultant Steve Chiu said. A long-term fix would be expensive, Chiu said, and would also require a shut down, at least partially, of the UP Express. Jeff Casello, a University of Waterloo engineering professor, said he suspects Metrolinx would need to excavate parts of the track to fix the material underneath the rails. ME: I read that the reduced speed zone on TTC Line 1 tracks near Davisville Station could have the same problem. That's why the RSZ has remained in place so long. thestar.com/news/gta/probl…

When you’re one step closer to the edge

GTA transit agencies have been cancelling routes and replacing them with a private “on demand” service delivered by Argo, the curiously well-connected technology firm formerly known as Facedrive seanmarshall.ca/2026/04/14/cal… #onpoli
