The Globe and Mail has picked up the story about near-empty UPX trains, brought to the media's attention by TTCriders when the Metrolinx board received its second quarter report. “When the TTC is overcrowded and breaking down and fares are going up again, we have got to get our priorities straight,” said Mary Breen, a spokeswoman for the group.
