GO Transit (I think it’s GO, brain fart here…) added some double decker buses but the second floor is so short, anyone over 5′11″ won’t fit!

An effecient rail system would be brilliant. Last summer they opened a St. Jerome-Montreal train line, and the train didn't fit properly on the rails (or some such idiocy)and so the train can't go more than 30 km an hour - of course that may have been fixed by now.
