It's nuts to me that the only way we get news from Metrolinx plans are through leaks or freedom of information requests.

No timeline, not even clear goals of what they are buildling. We don't know shit. It's insane to run a transit system like that. No wonder everything is late, it seems they don't even know what they are buildling.

GO train near Oakville was seconds away from ‘worst-case’ derailment, internal Metrolinx report shows

Again, this had to be leaked to the media because there’s no transparency about anything at Metrolinx.

I dunno what people were doing last night, but my commute home involved me getting to Union, waiting 5 minutes for my train's track to be announced, and using an unused stairway (literally) to get a seat on a full but not overcrowded train car.

Sorry to all the people who surged towards the same 2 stairways closest to the concourse escalators, but if you had looked slightly west of there you'd have seen me breezing to my train.
