    Fuck you peasants, believe or not, still no public transit.

    Get into you wage wagon, drive to your wage cage and get back to cucking for daddy

      TBF, Ontario (and most importantly, Toronto) are going through the biggest transit expansion in all of North America. For those unaware, I’ll list some of the projects by transit agency:

      • TTC (Toronto local transit) has a new metro (the Ontario Line/eventually Line 3), and 2 new LRT/light-metro lines under construction
      • GO (region transit) is undergoing a huge expansion where they’re increasing frequency and electrifying the lines, while also doing a bunch of smaller projects to decrease travel times and points of conflict
      • Mississauga/Brampton have the Hurontario LRT under construction (also owned by GO/Metrolinx, but local transit, so I separated it)
      • Hamilton’s LRT is in planning
      • ION LRT in Waterloo is planning Stage 2

      There are too many bike infrastructure projects to mention, and a lot of new urbanist developments.

      At the same time, the provincial government also has a number of projects that are crazy car-centric, like Highway 413, so it’s not all good.

        hopefully it works better than california and UK high speed rail lol

        i have zero faith in any of the “countries” to deliver any public works projec on time, within budget and/or for it to actually work.

        Love how you omitted Canada’s capital and their rail system of complete failures and fuckups from your list.
