The media do pay attention to Munro, sometimes.

Really? I haven't seen any reporting on it.

You can find some op-eds on Karen Stinz and Rob Ford's mangling of the TTC budget, but I haven't read any article on the cuts. If you have links, I'd love to read them.

Steve Munro has a useful summary on his blog showing we actually have LESS capacity now than in 1990. See: http://stevemunro.ca/?p=10101

But the Union also has a responsibility to the other Union members. By defending a poor or incompetent worker, the Union is actually dragging down the reputation of all the hard working union members. I would guess that most union members would actually want harsher discipline.
Its a bit like a NHL suspension hearing. Does the players union help the aggressor or the injured, or the average (relatively) clean and honest player.

Typical day at B-Y. This is why we need the RL, folks.

No, not typical day. There were signal issues on Yonge, thus the situation. This would have occurred DRL or not.

Except that signal issues among other problems occur on a daily basis.

.. Which would not be fixed by a DRL. It will be fixed by the new signalling system however.

Fixed is probably a strong word. Reduced perhaps.
What TTC is putting in for a signalling system sounds (to me) very complicated with the multiple different layered modes; so I expect it'll have periodic failures as well. Of course, when moving block signalling fails, they'll also be able to fall back to manually driven trains and fixed block mode with the accompanied capacity reduction.

On my train on Line 2 (~7:45 am), they announced at Sherbourne that there would be long waits at Bloor and that they recommended St George for downtown transfers. Lots of people got off at Yonge; I went to Bay instead.

Byford's reaction to the rider loading report is apparently to get POP on streetcars as early as January 1 next year. Incredible reaction time compared to the TTC of the past.

Yup, I was most impressed by this. It's a real culture change.

As proposed (albeit as a pilot, showing how little faith there still is for TTC to move on stuff) on Soknacki's campaign site on July 18.
