These last few weeks we've seen winter storm after winter storm. And I have to take my hat off to GO Transit.

As I write this, I'm looking out my train window, and I just have to pity anyone on the roads. It looks like a total mess. I don't think anyone driving is getting home in a timely fashion tonight.

Now granted, the train I'm on is delayed. Due to weather and construction, we're running behind. The conductor is so polite about it to .... â??This train is running 8 minutes behind schedule, ladies and gentlemen. GO Transit apologizes for the delay.â? And his voice sounds like he means it too.

8 minutes! It's snowing so hard out there that you can barely see a hundred feet! There is 15 cm of snow covering the roads! I challenge ANYONE driving to make it home from downtown to the burbs with less than an hour delay!

Yet GO commuters love to bitch, and you can bet there will be grumbling and eventually official apologies from GO transit execs for all the delays. Unbelievable.
