Oh how I long for the COVID traffic!! Volume is up 24/7, little to no new road capacity being built and the constant construction mean I can rarely get to/from Oakville to DT in under an hour...forget it if there's a Leafs/Raptors/Jays game on or a major concert. Oh, and it seems half of Toronto wants to go to Niagara every weekend. 15 min 2-way, all day, GO service can't come fast enough with the improved transit times that come with electrification...dare to dream I guess!!
