It would be nice if they just made the system free between November to March given how frequently this happens. Or always free. I don't think I've ever used a transit system this utterly useless and unreliable anywhere in the world. All it takes is a millimeter of freezing rain to cause catastrophic failure or some clueless driver to crash into the train...or to somehow jump up 30cm onto a platform. Luckily grandma only took out a piece of equipment instead of a stroller or a group of high school kids. The amount of total or partial system failures and accidents we've had in such a short span of time is unacceptable. I'm really glad my employer pays for me to use this thing because it sure wouldn't be worth the cost of a monthly pass otherwise.
At least we don't have police pulling over our LRVs causing delays.... it could be worse

You know, when I was a kid, I respected police. I've become much less naive since then. But it's only the past couple of years when I've started to see police as a harmful actor in society.
I have to wonder if this is a real shift in society, or me just opening my eyes. I think in the US it's becoming a real shift, not sure about Canada. I do wish the police would have a little bit more self awareness so to understand how toxic a loss of trust from the public would be to them.
