Running lean is tough for resilience. And also it's not like there's a huge number of spare drivers around these days, anywhere.
That leanness has bitten GRT in the ass frequently and in 23 years the Region has never thought to change it.
All things being equal, I agree...
And if you ask me how to pay for it, I have plenty of suggestions for that.
But since none of my suggestions are remotely feasible today, increasing the reserve capacity involves cutting something else...would we want to cut some other service, and what should we cut? FWIW, the answer could be yes, it's clear that reliability is an important feature just like frequency, but I don't know.
