Although I agree with columnist Joanne Chianello’s criticism of mayoral candidate Mike Maguire’s transit plan, it does raise questions about underutilization of existing infrastructure.

I have often wondered why Via Rail does not sell tickets for travel between Fallowfield and Tremblay Road stations. Maybe Via doesn’t care about the revenue.
But more likely, perhaps Via is respecting a monopoly on transit within the city, a monopoly vigorously defended by OC Transpo. If so, maybe the policy should be re-examined.
