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

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!⬇️

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!

Let's do better with ION stage 2 and get the funding for a program of ongoing transit expansion, managed by an effective in-house project team. We can and should build a lot more transit for the kinds of budgets transit projects are getting these days tritag.ca/ionizewr
Screenshot from TriTAG's IONize Waterloo Region project page:

Charge Up Waterloo Region With Transit
IONize Waterloo Region envisions a complete, reliable rapid transit network that connects Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo – guiding growth, improving access, and strengthening our region. It’s time to build ION Stage 2, the full LRT extension to Cambridge, and then to keep building.

Michael Druker 🇨🇦 @mdruker.app · 21/07/2026
If Ion rapid transit is extended into Cambridge as proposed, Druker wants regional government to develop an in-house team to guide the extension, rather than leaning as strongly on a private partner.

“I think these public-private partnerships are a bit of a mixed bag, and it really depends on the details,” he added. “There’s a big risk in trying to transfer risk to a private partner.”

Today is the first day of permanent GO train service to Stratford. What we need now is for Metrolinx to purchase the rail corridor and upgrade track to increase speed. Stratford -> Kitchener currently takes 53 minutes, but it can be under 30 minutes with simple track upgrades.
