Change is happening. Electrification must be next. That was a promise Metrolinx made to my parents and the people of Davenport when they laid out the plans for increased service. It’s also a promise that gov’t will actually take this crisis seriously. Do not let value engineering take this away
In just 2024, Toronto has introduced:

- massive off-peak service increases across the network: 15-30 min headways, 6 lines with all-day service
- rebuilt stations, contactless payment, & more
… and this is just the beginning!
