Our new article makes the case for extending GO trains to London, and talks about what's needed to make this service competitive:

I think it’s neat that GRT is rolling out transit priority at a bunch of intersections just through right turn lanes with bus priority signals

Send an email to Doug Ford and your MPP to ask them to: -Reverse train cuts -Install HOV/transit lanes to speed up GO buses -Implement replacement bus service at impacted Toronto stations -Deliver long-delayed 15-minute GO service -End privatization of GO operations www.ttcriders.ca/gotraincuts

Just as the school year begins, GO Train service is being cut. One fully-loaded GO Train can take up to 2,000 cars off the road. Doug Ford is allowing train service cuts while throwing money at new highways & bike lane removals, worsening traffic congestion. Details + how to take action!⬇️

Your Waterloo Region transportation news and engagement opportunities from the last week:

I rode the train out to Stratford this morning and counted 367 people onboard, twice the number who took the first Stratford weekend train 3 weeks ago. Given how many people got off in Kitchener, and that it was only 6 cars, it must have been packed leaving Toronto. We need more trains!
