Well, that didn't take long for the witchunt to start already.
Time to crack the knuckles and set some folks straight... Bombardier is helping - this fault is solely on Metrolinx and the Region, for taking so long fiddlefucking around about the Specialized Equipment.

One of the few. I just wish they would give a firm date, not this "Spring" nonsense, as "Spring" is probably going to be June sometime knowing the region.

From Reddit: "I very much look forward to finally riding the LRT next fall."

Now that all the pressure is off them, I bet you will see a dramatic decrease in the frequency of trains out and about.

They've hired those drivers, better have them doing something.

I bet you are the only one thrilled by these news because you are not planning to use it as your every day commute option, like so many of us will. The iXpress 200 is already over capacity at peak times, it's terrible. The region needs the system running asap. |
