GO Transit

[SammyOES]

Is it being too cynical to suggest that Metrolinx isn't quite as politically arms-length as might be possible? Are there votes to be had in Stratford that are written off in Waterloo Region?

Or, is it better to promise something new and exciting rather than restore something boring?

My cynical take is that there are a bunch of voters that care about GO transportation but don’t actually use it (this part is just true, not cynical).

The province knows that announcements about increasing service or adding cities to a list of places with service appeals to these people. But these people don’t actually know about the day-to-day details. At a certain point they don’t know the difference between 3 trips a day, 6 trips a day, or 12 trips a day.
