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!!
Not only that there's no new road capacity, but some existing ones have gone. Lakeshore Blvd E to Gardiner ramp and the lane reduction on Gardiner for example.
I used to prefer GO bus over train between Union and Hamilton, because most of the time the 16 is faster than the express train, even during rush hours, and the 16 was indeed pretty packed even when express trains were running. Now it's the opposite.
I wonder how traffics have changed in other cities. I know people always joke about rue Barrée in Montreal, and the bridges and tunnels are the bottlenecks in Vancouver.

If one doesn't work, the other should. Sometime, running tests is just easier than look up the documentation and think. Running test cases 20 times is how I find and fix bugs sometime...
