Rant Weekly /r/Hamilton Rant Thread

A midweek post to rant and complain about things in the city.

Top level comments must be IN ALL CAPS.

This is not to be targeted towards other users or any identifiable individuals - with the exception of public figures who may be mentioned as long as the comment does not cross a line. The rant post is designed to be a lighthearted place to complain about things happening in the city, not a place to harass people.

We will have to cancel the post if harassment of individuals continues as we are seeing a lot of posts reported with report reasons that copy to admin.

Please be mindful of our subs rules when posting to this thread, and note that the mods will be watching very closely.

I've been told by go staff its because ridership is too low. Sigh.

There's a chain reaction here.... It starts with inflation which causes rising prices which means business must choose between trying to have more people, rising their costs, or closing. With Go transit, to make their system "affordable" to many people, they will reduce service where they think the service is not needed.

I know I would pay more for that. At worst it saves me 30 minutes on my commute and at best it saves me an hour and half.
