you didnt get my point. Lets invest in basic infrastructure during a recession/depression and save the fun stuff for better times. Obviously roads are basic infrastructure. As are new transit lines or repairing existing ones. |

They've had this in guelph for quite a while now, it makes the bus system alot more convenient.
edit: Ah i thought it was just a online tracking system, they havent got the panels in Guelph although it was supposed to happen :conf:
Is it just me or does something about the left panel seem like a giant iPhone menu

it's not like they went out to futureshop and bought a bunch of LCDs and installed them over the weekend.
this stuff was budgeted for and is now getting installed. this is just the initial stage of stuff that has been going on behind the scene for many months now. |

There is always the possibility of suspending the contract, unless they were dumb enough to build in exorbitant penalties into the contract.
Hasnt the city been broke since miller took office? Why are they doing this? |

I would assume that the phone companies would be doing that, not the ttc. Or they would be making sweet coin off that. Either way it shouldnt cost the taxpayer so thumbs up! |

it would be very handy on GO buses |
waste of money, 95% of go bus riders get on or off at union station and leave on time 99.9% of the time. Inbound buses are not affected by traffic all that much and are almost always on time as well.
besides oshawa hwy 2 route i can't think of one other route thats ever regularly late. maybe finch to oakville/milton |
