Quite quietly metrolinx is pulling off some pretty enormous service cuts. If you live in Markham or Aurora or on the lake shore line you are not going to be happy!

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@REM_infoservice Merci, de même à vous!

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@REM_infoservice Bonjour, la clim est insuffisante dans la voiture 099D21. Elle fonctionne seulement près des portes 1-4, et non à l’autre extrémité de la voiture.

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@REM_infoservice Ok, merci pour les précisions!

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@REM_infoservice Bonjour! Pourquoi les trains circulent-ils au ralenti en direction nord entre le boul. Pelletier et la voie maritime?

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@KhyberSen @SlopHq I wonder if they have the rolling stock to support 90 sec headways 🤔

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@KhyberSen @SlopHq 90 seconds theoretical max. I believe service in the main trunk is expected to top out at 2.5 minutes at rush hour once the airport branch opens.

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@gyc @humantransit Summer vacation headways. Usually as low as 3 at peak, and I believe the trunk is expected to top out at 2.5 minutes once the airport branch opens.

@zjlaing Congratulations, Zach!

@classik_e We speak the same language lol

@REM_infoservice Bonjour, la climatisation ne fonctionne pas dans la voiture 066D11

The legendary William Shatner regales the audience at Calgary Expo.

Elijah Wood, speaking at Calgary Expo, opens door to possibility that a hot dog is more like a taco than a sandwich but strongly urges it be given its own food category.

@milesintransit1 New meme unlocked 😁

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@AlliAlliG Fair, haha!

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@AlliAlliG His message literally started with "I don't care", which is a huge clue where it was going to go, lol

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@REM_infoservice Il n'était pas précis d'utiliser le mot « normal » pour décrire la reprise du service. Vos trains ne circulaient pas sur le segment affecté par le bris d'équipement et on devait attendre pour emprunter la seule voie disponible. Fréquences diminuées et retards en conséquence.

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@RM_Transit When I bought my condo a bajillion years ago, before my urbanism days, it was due to price. The owner was desperate to unload and my timing was good. The fact it was in an old streetcar neighbourhood was not a consideration. (Maybe it was a subconscious part of the process.)

[Ricky Leong @rleong101]

@RM_Transit I could talk your ear off on the subject 😅
