Oh please. This wasn't a personal attack. At the end of the day, Amilcar's leadership has a lot to do with why ridership hasn't gone up. I think someone who makes almost $350k/yr on the public dime deserves some degree of public scrutiny don't you? - ThreadSky

It wasn't an attack, and if she feels it was, then maybe she's not the right person for the job. If she thought she was going to do that job without being held to account, she was mistaken. She's also a terrible communicator. I had faith when she was hired, that's long gone.

I remain puzzled why Amilcar is not advocating for more resources for OCTranspo.
It's not possible to provide the service that is needed with the funding the council is providing.
It's fiscally irresponsible to spend billions on LRT infrastructure and not have the funds to run the trains.

Also irresponsible to claim that your service gets stuck in traffic when you work as part of an organization that can actually do something about the very traffic you claim to be stuck in

Advocating for (and creating) “bus only” lanes on Heron/Baseline and Carling (as starters) would be a start

Yes, staff do follow council's direction and Mark Sutcliffe has made it very hard to increase transit risership through austerity budgets but Amilcar has supported this all the way and has pushed a narrative that supports cuts and more expensive fares.
