There have been no internal communication between the Mayor, OCTranspo, the City Manager, or Metrolinx about the LRT upload to the Province. The guy in charge of this doesn't sound very effecrive. (Not my MFIPPA)

This is 100% an example of where @octranspo.com could improve service without increasing costs. I remember not so long ago that there were shuttle buses that you could catch across the city. Buses would hit the hwy and zoom to the CTC faster than you could drive. CTC hasn't moved!
