Yeah. GO had a few infamous leadfoot bus operators!

I really wonder why this went to the racist, Conservative-embedded Brian Lilley though, and not a bonifide transportation or urban affairs journalist like Oliver Moore at the Globe or Ben Spurr at the Star.

For decades, it was Brampton that was left out of GO Transit service and infrastructure. I still remember when there was only a Union Station bus every three hours. Hamilton had it pretty good with the QEW bus in comparison.

Are there updated renderings? I would like to see the approved design elements. The last time Downtown Brampton got a major streetscape makeover was in the late 1980s, so this is long overdue. However, I wonder if it will just get dug up again once the LRT extension is funded.

They’re known as FYA phases – a Michigan Left is of course something much different.

The concept reminds me of Valdi Discount Grocery that was around in the 1990s. No fridges or freezers, everything was boxed, bagged, or canned. The only difference I see here is there will be limited produce - but of course it won’t be things like leafy greens that are typically cooled and...

It’s official: CN and CPKC have locked out their workers. No service on the Milton Line tomorrow.

Yeah, GO adding yet another letter variant is not a new route.

Justin Di Dunpar strikes again! He’s the named party on the OLT appeal.

I saw several 2-car trains in training in Scarborough today (Sunday), with the operator in the cab and the instructor just outside of it, similar to TTC streetcar divisional training. That I saw three trains on Eglinton all in training on a Sunday appears to be some good news.

I was hoping for more substantial changes, such as more 505A trips, better service on the 41 Bolton, and resumption of the 185. There’s still some serious crowding on the 4, 14, and 18. I’m not complaining, though, as it’s obvious that BT is doing what it can to meet demand. 5 minute service...

September service changes are up. 501 goes to 5 minute service in the peak direction (AM eastbound, PM westbound). 561 peak service improved to every 15 from every 20 minutes, midday weekday service restored (every 20). Some frequency improvements to Routes 8, 12, 14, 16, 51 (with new...

The full PDF schedules are available on the GO website now, so there’s nothing new with the train service. I would have liked to see some weekend train service to Kitchener to match the weekday runs and relieve some overcrowding of the 30. I’d also like to see a return of the 39...

There’s nothing that I saw in the bus changes listed that would tie into any differences in the train schedules. That said, Metrolinx is typically late with train announcements because it requires ministerial approval and opportunity for a government photo op.

Brampton has questions for you.

I heard one last week for the Boots and Hearts country music festival. I thought to myself, isn’t that in Oro-Medonte? How is anyone supposed to take GO there?

BORT?

Flixbus’s Sudbury-Toronto and Owen Sound-Toronto routes also stop at Barrie and Pearson. ONTC’S buses from Sudbury and North Bay all stop at Highway 407 Station now, and offers through ticketing to GO (including the Route 40 bus).

With Caledon increasingly served by Brampton Transit. It’s the one place where regional transit isn’t at all necessary.

Hospital/Institutional? The province loves building new greenfield hospitals on huge sites with plenty of room for surface parking and long-term expansion. Only in Toronto (and occasionally Hamilton and Peel) will it support intensification of existing sites. That site is too small for the...
