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.

One year of congestion pricing in New York City:
- $700 million paid, and major subway upgrades in progress
- Broadway $ up since congestion pricing began
- Sales tax $ also up compared to other boroughs, and storefront vacancies down
- 22% drop in air pollution
