In Ontario, 10,600 people have signed a petition asking Go Transit to refund their fares 50 per cent when trains are late or if they don’t show up.
On the surface, this seems to make sense. After all, if you pay Go Transit to get you to work on time and you’re late, then you didn’t get what you paid for.
But Go Transit doesn’t operate its trains, or its tracks. CN Rail employees drive the trains that operate on CN tracks, and freight trains are often allowed to go first, forcing commuters to wait. Shouldn’t the federal government step in and give transit riders first priority over freight shipments?
