Just as the school year begins, GO Train service is being cut.
One fully-loaded GO Train can take up to 2,000 cars off the road. Doug Ford is allowing train service cuts while throwing money at new highways & bike lane removals, worsening traffic congestion.
Details + how to take action!⬇️

Okay, I know some of you folks are serious transit professionals. Anyone know how to build transit and want to get us a whole lot more ION built? Feel free to DM if that might be you and if I could help with some perspective (from outside the government)

I rode the train out to Stratford this morning and counted 367 people onboard, twice the number who took the first Stratford weekend train 3 weeks ago. Given how many people got off in Kitchener, and that it was only 6 cars, it must have been packed leaving Toronto. We need more trains!
