^ It looks like it's correctly captured on the next slide (3), but you're right about slide 2.

Absolute waste of money to build a useless TOY TRAIN. For those local transit users, we know that the Mississauga transit is excellent...

Hello, @Alamrinsemog! Could you elaborate on your statement please? Tell us why you think it's useless? Explain what aspect of Mississauga's transit is "excellent"?

I'm a walker/public transit user. I don't drive and don't intend to. Our Mississauga transit takes me from north to south and east to west. This toy train is going to be taking me from south Mississauga to Brampton I.e., hurontario street. For all the inconvenience I'm being put through living ON hurontario, it's definitely NOT worth the aggravation. For the money being WASTED, more buses could have been bought.

Guess you'll be the one, and only one, to use the local parallel buses on Hurontario. The bad news, the headways will be reduced (IE. 15 minutes?).

This will be a fun post to come back to once the LRT is open.

While I share your frustration with the inconvenience of Hurontario being constantly worked on, I think the LRT is a good thing.

I've lived in a European city with a proper streetcar network, and rail is simply better, Especially on a dedicated ROW. Buses are literally the bare minimum of public transit. We can do better. Streetcars are faster, carry more people, and though I can't quite put my finger on why, they somehow feel more comfortable than a bus, even when the furnishings like seats are technically the same.

Besides the practical aspect, I think the LRT has a good chance of making public transit more appealing, convincing more people to leave their cars, and some day, I hope, the network will expand beyond just the one line.

More buses that would have been struck in traffic wasting fuel. That has to be noted given you claim to be concerned about "waste".
