Heck we even had a MPP from KW area give a speech at Queens Park last week that said (and I am paraphrasing from memory but I am sure I am not far off) that no one gets on the trains between Kitchener and Malton anyway.
Your impression and memory is correct. The MPP did imply that which is pretty bizarre. You'd think her NDP candidates in Brampton wouldn't appreciate that attitude but I guess very few noticed it other than people like us who follow these issues closely.
Here's what the KW MPP said when speaking to her motion:
I kept track, because clearly I need to get a life or something. I was on the train this morning, and, honestly, until I got to Malton—that was where the vast majority of people got on the train. In Guelph, there were only 30 people who got on.
Now, I will tell you that it was delayed 23 minutes from the get-go. I was on the 6:47 train, but they told us immediately that it would be delayed 23 minutes. That is not a good way to start your commute, Madam Speaker; I can tell you that much.
Here's the tweet of her getting on the 0647 train in Kitchener in the morning.
