We have nice new fancy colour screens in our new Line 2 stations that just say "Every 12 minutes" because the project to get real-time train locations in the central database keeps being deferred.

So, these screens we spent money on are now useless.

Much of those savings are the result of lower fuel costs due to the federal government's elimination of the Carbon Tax. The Transit budget alone projects over $14M in "efficiencies". More than $9M of that is fuel savings. That's not the result of "continuous improvement". That's PM Carney. 4/

Aside from those "efficiencies", how much of the $252M saved over 4 years is from deferred capital projects? In 2025 alone, there were $21.3M in deferred capital transit projects. Deferred capital projects are not savings; they are cost avoidance. We didn't save money; we postponed spending it. 6/

PS. Thanks for sharing. Tiny Desk show was great !

Brushing my teeth at home one Sept evening I thought “Wow. Whoever this CityFolk band is, this is an awesome Talking Heads cover.” I was pretty disappointed when I realized what I’d missed!

Does GSD park vertically? I had good luck taking wheels off my HSD while it was vertical.
