The newspapers are lousy at transit reporting
re: Mississauga sees no benefit to Pearson rail link
yes. that is the point. did they forget its intended to link downtown Toronto? Also, Mississauga is currently investing in their 403 BRT that will take them to Renforth. Easy to run buses to the airport once that is completed – simply rebrand and re-price (a la 747 express in Montreal).
