Kind of odd that GO Transit could not be bothered having a new system map ready on their website the day they celebrate running trains out to Kitchener. (They have new schedules, but no new map.) It’s really hard getting excited for anything transit related in T.O. these days…
Map is up there now (end of Monday). What I found odd was the 680 “News” [sic] transit report… there were references to disruptions on the “Kitchener line”, which is great that they are calling it that now, but I imagine it might take people some time to get used to realizing that that means the Georgetown line.
