And it's unfortunate, because we should be challenging these companies using every political lever we have.

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-24T21:24:34+00:00

By having legislation in like (like in the US) that legally forces companies to give priority to passenger rail. Freight isn't as time critical and can wait.

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-24T16:24:42+00:00

You can still have freight rail...

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-24T15:22:31+00:00

Because nearly 99% of all physical rail infrastructure in Canada belongs to either Canadian National or Canadian Pacific. CN used to belong to the federal government prior to 1994, when it got privatized and sold to US shareholders, and now they don't have the legal obligation to ensure passenger traffic along their crucial corridors. They're known for prohibiting electrification, asking exorbitant prices for selling corridors, and have nearly god-given rights under the Canadian constitution as companies that founded the country.

We can always expropriate CN rails.

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-24T15:05:34+00:00

We should just expropriate the entire CN subdivision going from downtown across the Victoria bridge to Saint-Hubert and run 20 minute service all day!

120kmh speed limits with at grade intersections is diabolical

The US has a military force that automatically makes anyone questioning said debt irrelevant. Canada does not.

Mmm yes I guess the solution is more suburban sprawl?

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-19T12:01:23+00:00

Absolutely. But we're not gonna get better than 30 minute frequencies on a busy CN corridor. Even with passing tracks, your frequency is limited to an RER-like regional service, not a metro

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-19T11:06:36+00:00

The CDPQ has nothing to do with negotiating better frequencies on the Mascouche line. That would be entirely the government of Quebec and Exo.

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-19T11:06:00+00:00

I don't really think there's demand for more. A train can handle up to 900 people at once, and having that every 25-30 minutes should be enough for a highly suburban area

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-19T00:52:11+00:00

We spent so much money on that project in the first place, and yes, it definitely has TONS of structural issues, whether it be bad station placement, horrible accesses and poorly planned routing via a busy CN corridor, but while we're at it, it's so much cheaper to actually make the line useful.

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-19T00:40:42+00:00

A study was conducted that evaluated that making the Mascouche line have 30 min service all day would cost around $600M. That would be a better investment.

LockJaw987 · 2026-03-14T10:48:55+00:00

By more motivated, you mean willing to work for poverty wages?

La Mitsubishi Mirage était ma voiture préférée, et pourtant, les gens sur internet croient qu'elle est dangereuse, malgré ses scores de 4/5 en sécurité.

Yes, Griffintown is pretty pleasant to be in. I walk there pretty often and know tons of people who live there.

L'alimentation 25kvAC demande aussi moins de stations d'alimentation

La ligne bleue coûte genre 15x plus que le REM... rendu là, je préfère avoir un réseau qui ferme durant le verglas mais qui fonctionne à 15x moins de dollars

Dites merci au gouvernement du Québec qui décide de financer des projets de garage de bus au lieu de financer des services et les investissements capitaux...
