Average 80 minute commute, Government Surplus but delayed transit plan funding

A study released today shows how commuters in Toronto spend an average of 80 minutes commuting http://ipoint.to/80minutecommute

Not much earlier was the news that Transit funding was being delayed http://ipoint.to/transitfundingdelay

But wasn't one of the major announcements in the latest budget transit spending? Am I missing something?

Where is this transit money going?

I would love to hear responses on where this money is going. Please comment on this post.

Warning: Schedule Changes April 3, 2010

For all those loyal blog readers, I thought I would remind you of the schedule changes that are happening April 3, 2010. If you are taking the Lakeshore line the normal trains will be leaving earlier from your stations.

If you have any tips, comments, etc you would like to share with the followers of this blog please post them as comments or email them to Susan Fischer at susan@clinchportal.com and we will post an article.

More money for transit less money for silly songs

O Canada, our home and native land.

True paitrot love in all your coyotes command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise

Our Go and TTC Fares.

The tax money is better spent

To ensure our anthem is gender free.

As you may have guessed, the opposition party does not like the word sons in

our anthem but has no problem letting coyotes run wild in our school yards and

attack pets in our backyards. They also have no problem giving no more money to

public transit to help the environment.

If you would like to let the government know that our kids safety is important join the protest here:
