One Blog Post To Rule Them All: The TTC has come a long way with a single post

If you have not read Andy Byford's post today on the TTC Blog you should.  It is finally a positive step in the right direction.  Determining the cause of issues is the start to finding solutions.

We look forward to the next steps of finding solutions like:

* Adding that extra rail to bypass during issues.
* Communication with passengers, potential passengers, and just between staff to find alternate routes around things like broken water-mains.
* Building a Subway rather than an LRT across Shephard Line to reduce future delays due to inclimate weather.
* Maybe even covering or burying some of the existing subway that is outside to reduce delays due to inclimate weather.

NOTE: You don't have to bury the subway underground you just need to cover the tracks to keep the heat in so the tracks and switches dont freeze and the engines can handle it.

Anyways, off topic a bit the point is finally the TTC is heading in the right direction to becoming the Better Way.  Let's keep it up.
