@HopelessDemigod @Dianora The pathetically problematic #LRT is nothing but a money pit, requiring constant repair, constant investment of funds to improve an exceedingly poorly constructed train. Of course, Ottawa has to charge more. Meanwhile, those who brought us this ill-conceived, unsuitable piece of garbage, took away vital bus routes and increased travel time significantly and frustratingly and walked away with absolutely no consequences. The #JimWatsonLegacy.

@jfmezei #SNCLavalin? Where have I heard that name before? Oh, yes: “Step into the future of Ottawa's transit system with us.” With unreliable schedules, buses that don’t show up, route cuts, fare increases, LRT breakdowns, unreliable trains that can't handle winter, panels coming loose & breaking b/c snow build up on vehicles, ice causing doors to freeze shut, brakes & bogies that hold the wheels, freeze up…….This is the #JimWatsonLegacy and SNC Lavalin-led Rideau Transit Group.

@octranspo_en The #JimWatsonLegacy made #OCTranspo second-to-none in pathetically poor service. How? Increase prices, decrease frequency of routes, eliminate routes, eliminate others on the weekend, build an LRT that looks like third world construction & breaks down consistently, post schedules that are not respected, don’t repair bus shelters, complain that ridership is decreasing, increase travel time (one bus would take me from Ottawa east to downtown, now I must take 2 buses & an LRT.)

@canadianpm Sutcliffe wants a vibrant capital city & downtown revitalization. Maybe having reliable public transport would help. Currently #OCTranspo sucks. So better make room for lots of cars. The #JimWatsonLegacy made #OCTranspo second-to-none in pathetically poor service. With decreased frequency of routes, elimination of many routes, a third world #LRT (the Parliament stop smells like a sewer. A great appeal for tourists), filthy bus shelters, etc… #OCTranspo sucks big time.
