I realize there are hurdles to overcome, but nothing that political will can't overcome. I too like Wynne, but I don't see any government changing the current situation for a very long time.
I don’t like Wynne, but the current government does seem pretty committed to transit, and I expect we’ll continue to see incremental improvements in service- it’s good news for us that Brampton gets two-way and weekend service, it’s one step closer to building a case for the same service on the rest of the line. Waterloo will get a couple more daily trains, then a few trains on the weekend, then two-way service, then all-day service. Who knows on timing exactly, but it won’t happen overnight, and it will happen in many steps.
SammyOES, I think you’re right that the 401 won’t be able to keep up, and transit is going to have to accommodate some of the traffic.
