How does an agency like the TTC have the online presence of an insecure 10 year old boy who can’t make a 3 point shot in front of somebody they like

I don’t think I’ve seen a more tone deaf communications campaign. Negotiating team asks ATU to hold off so their board can re-asses their position tomorrow, then comms goes on the assault promoting a narrative which is demonstrably false. Literally amateur hour down south, Freudian slips inclusive

How is metro north paying ~$20M per locomotive for some untested vaporware product that hasn’t been tested and isn’t even projected to exist in a serviceable condition until after Penn Station Access (which these are supposedly being bought to serve) is supposed to open. Truly what are they cooking.

The TTC is an embarrassment at this point. Every train runs slower than jabba the hutt moves, they have derailments and then lie harder than the north korean propaganda agencies about the causes (until the truth inevitably comes out) and can’t even fire the chief executive properly. Shameful.

30 years ago, Breda meets world. The first car arrived a month earlier, but various complications (such as its size, it hit multiple poles and walls when they first ran it around the yard) caused the public presentation to be delayed. 30 years later, less than 60 cars remain.
