$20M for West Island Trains … in 2 Years… Maybe

The idea is to reduce delays and allow the AMT to add six more trains per day to the Vaudreuil-Hudson line when the work is complete in a few years.

But it’s only a temporary fix and what the West Island really needs is a who new set of tracks splitting the narrow burrow even further. Expect to see green space along the powerlines north of the 40 come up in the plans and then get swiftly kicked out again.

Volvo Working on Pedestrian Airbags

I personally think that Volvo should probably spend all of this R&D money on avoiding the pedestrian is all conditions as impossible as this might seem. Of course this guy’s head might be protected, but his knees & hibs and ribs will be shattered. Kind of leaves the casualty with a half-life: good brain but a real crappy body for a long time.
