Toronto LRT Information Blog

Yesterday, it was announced that $9 billion of the provincial government’s infrastructure funding in last week’s budget will be going to transit in the GTHA. Now that a day has passed since that announcement, I have managed to let its details sink in, because it was not exactly clear-cut about what this fully entailed and what it didn’t. A fair bit of interpolation and extrapolation is necessary, along with piecing in various bits of other information. (more…)

I was contacted this week by David Couture of Hamilton Light Rail, for which I have since added a link on the main page of this site. I told him I have been a bit remiss in changing my GTAs to GTHAs, and had very little on this site about LRT plans for Hamilton. I noted that my ability to gather such information is somewhat limited, so I rely on people closer to the situation to pass things on to me. This is why I am adding this posting: if anyone has any new information on anything LRT (or transit in general - fare integration is a bit topic with me!), then by all means pass it on to me. Either a comment to a blog entry, or directly in an email to lrt@daxack.ca.
