since when are mayors urban planners lol. The same mayors that wanted all the car oriented suburbs?

have fun sitting or standing up in a light metro for an 1 hour and 20 minutes (to St Jerome) while going through sparseley populated farmland after all day at work...

I live near the VH line, and use it often. I think people are underestimating how much its part of West Island-south-of-highway forty life it is. A couple thousand kids take the train to school daily on the train, habs and concert go-ers use it to get to events, and teens use it to go downtown...

its 174 000 daily users might. You live in North Glengarry, and would never need the system, I dont know why anyone would care if you shed a tear. Keep it to yourself

The REM has definitely accelerated this trend. Maybe the wealthy new residents will actually leave the suburbs and...

have to say, I dont know how I feel about how its elevated downtown...

yeah, and as a passenger being able to get up and go to the snack car and have a seat there is great

They arent going to modify the shed just so Via can use Bi Levels (which they don't need) 6 times a week

I thought they lost their funding?!
