Rode the Eglinton Crosstown LRT end to end today and was impressed! Much swifter than Finch West. Some reliability issues on opening day but I suspect that was in part due to the crowds of people who came to try it out!

The new weekend GO trains to Kitchener are great and all, but it would be really nice to have a morning one that I don't have to wake up at 6am to catch
