Well I took the lrt train for the first time since return to full service.

Did I say full service? Maybe it should be call ¾ service. I swear there are sections now where I can talk as fast as the trail. And now we are doing only one train section?

Nope I'm very impressed.

At least two of these three consortia include companies involved in the #OttawaLRT fiasco. So this will go well. Why in God’s name isn’t #VIA running this? https://www.railwaygazette.com/infrastructure/three-qualify-for-canadas-high-frequency-rail-project/64566.article

Why bother with the 21 day 98.5% when they have a fallback of a rolling 14 day? For the council how many will actually read the report and will the public (the ones who actually will have to use the system) get to see the reports?

A pattern. When there is nasty weather the LRT goes offline. I would call the system a lemon, but that would be an insult to lemons.

Gasp. Lord, but the #OttawaLRT is just a giant freaking lemon. I wanted it to work. I really did. I can’t drive. But I do anything I can to avoid taking it now.

@BrentToderian A subway system that doesn't explode whenever it snows or rain would be good.
