The future of Hamilton's public transit

[JT Jacobs]

It appears that VIA will not be returning to Hamilton after all, according to a recent story in the Spectator. Here's what VIA's mouthpiece has to say:

“The James Street location just isn’t conducive to us to serve our customers, so we will continue to serve the Hamilton area through Aldershot and Grimsby,” said Via Rail spokesperson Catherine Kaloutsky."

Serving Aldershot and Grimsby over Canada's eighth largest city is absurd, particularly considering that the station is restored, has expanded GO service now, and a forthcoming additional platform, lighting, and ticket kiosk courtesy of the provincial government.

I just got on VIA's website and criticized their decision. The more disgruntled people doing the same could sway them back to Hamilton.
