Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 03/10/2026East extension is not a new line. It uses the same trains as the current L1. Presumably the same software. (Unless it is different software, which begs the question, why would we do that?) So I am not following what the problem is, or WHY there should be a problem in the first place. 100
Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 02/10/2026How does this make any sense? L1 is already using train software successfully and the extension presumably uses the same software with the same trains. I don’t follow this at all. 100

She says its single market remains too fragmented and needs to reform further, with the aim of completing it by the end of next year. “Do we want to rally around our European idea that together we can decide our own destiny? Or do we let our democracies be undermined by the proxies and puppets of authoritarians? Whether it is the ultra nationalist or the anti-European, whether it’s Russian interference or disinformation, the names may be different, but their goal is the same. Continue reading... 815228

Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Two things I absolutely know to be true: 1) OC Transpo will *always* claim that things are about to get better 2) they will not. I would have thought that would be fodder for a good mayoral debate. Evidently I was wrong on that one. 030
Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I am curious what you think people will support going forward. It seems pretty clear we were on the way to *accepting* some tariffs on autos, aluminum and steel, but given the public reaction since the talks broke down, I wonder whether that can still be sold politically. 000
Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Is anyone working to restore the 2019 speed? Not tomorrow, but surely it must be possible to do sometime? 110
Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I don’t suppose (1) that anyone is working to address that (2) there hasn’t been an update and (3) there is no ETA on a fix. 000
Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 28/08/2026So, if I am following correctly, end to end should take 24 min and it’s taking 28.35. Seems to be a significant loss of speed. 100
Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Ok, but I seem to recall there *was* a plan that projected travel time between Blair and Tunneys (and perhaps downtown?) Your runtimes could be compared against that. 100
Edison Stewart @edison53.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Very interesting. Is it possible to compare these times to what they *should* be? Or, times elapsed for other LRT systems for similar distances? 200
