JimMe: How was the bike ride home?
Wife: Slippery. Had to be careful. But I think that I had an easier time than all the people walking on the MUP between stations. #Ottawa #OttLRT

I truly hope we have the documentation and the luck to discover the root issue is a batch of poorly made axles. That would be expensive but easy to resolve. Bad maintenance is harder to resolve and might require replacing all. A bad design is a decade long problem. #OttLRT
Rail Fans CanadaICYMI: Trains were spotted running to Orléans on Saturday during East Extension testing! 🚊 You might still catch some today until 5pm. They're not at full speed and service is limited, so expect some gaps between sightings. #OttLRT #Stage2LRT

Dianora (Diane Bruce)I have a radical thought. What if we treated OCTranspo the same way we treated our roads and just let people ride for free? I bet the ridership would go way up and the roads would then need less maintaining thus that money saved could go for transit. Naw. We love our cars too much.
