Sunday Movie: Toronto Setback

Toronto's GO commuter rail electrification and expansion has been downscaled and delayed. (RMTransit) Deutsche Bahn was going to make it like an S-Bahn, with all-day frequent service on several lines with electric trains, but the contract was canceled.

E.g., planning taking a decade and letting inflation creep in, and officials who don't understand the importance of frequency.
