Elevated Trains Are Good, Actually

The opening of the REM is bittersweet. Montreal is getting a lot more transit and that’s exciting! But it also highlights just how frustrating it is that act...

A political faction cancels a rail project citing,

  1. Costs
  2. Not having enough stops
  3. Noise etc.

Then proposes a worse project or more highways. Does this sound familiar? I urge you to watch this video because there are many parallels between this Canadian tale and the now cancelled Colombo light rail project. There maybe lessons we can learn from Canada.
