@RM_Transit ….Reece bout to buy a truck & move to the woods of New Brunswick.

More or less how I feel about GO Expansion. I've tried to meet with politicians but nobody seems to really care. Its very sad. This is why I moved to Toronto.

@anujtaxali The media largely does not care. Me making a video changes nothing.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets.
Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.
Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

@RM_Transit Make a video reece. Expose this trash. Let's get media on board.

I wanted to not have to write about metrolinx cocking up GO plans in a huge way again, and yet here I am on Thursday night typing away

We really need to replace the folks saying things like "running smaller trains more often would constrain our capacity" with people who understand anything about trains, transit, and I guess . . . basic math?
English
It seems the basic logic of running more trains is literally too much for the institution we have tasked with doing it!
English
Lets run more trains!
Ok, well it makes sense for them to be smaller then!
Ok, but then they would have less capacity.
Which is why we are running them more often?
But, we have like 10 level crossings?
English
@RM_Transit Would there be a noticeable impact on service levels if even just the downtown stations got platform doors?
English
@RM_Transit I'd like to believe that it is possible to be so incompetent completely by accident. But this is just one decision in a long history of decisions on the part of this government that cannot be ignored.
English
"Government agency is carbrained" is unfortunately a common reading of the reality . . . incompetence.

@RM_Transit Doesn't surprise me one bit. Metrolinx's primary directive is to ensure that the automobile remains the dominant mode of transportation in the GTA. Increasing the frequency of GO trains would undermine that.
English
@Terence_Johnson Need is a strong word. Again, many far busier crossings operate safely
English
@RM_Transit There are major crossings that still need to be done, like Golf Club Road. That’s not a constraint so much as something that needs to be done anyway that also becomes an enabling activity.
English
Making up the difference by running trains more frequently would be “constrained by the lack of grade separation on the Metrolinx system,” the draft report states.
Madness.

Why do our transit agencies ignore the advice of European companies who are true experts in providing these kind of services efficiently and effectively?
Why do our bureaucrats think they know better?
They clearly don’t. Anyone who has been to Europe can tell you this.
Jack Hauen@jackhauen
New: Metrolinx's plan to run more frequent, shorter GO trains is now “unlikely to materialize” after it fired the European partners who planned to make it happen, according to a draft of the agency's internal fleet strategy. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/municipal…

@JRUrbaneNetwork Absolute loser attitude. What else can you expect from Ontario?
