GLOSSING OVER TROUBLE 0N OTTAWA'S LRT

• No one mentions the frustrated commuters walking for 40 minutes from Tunney’s Pasture to downtown, nor people milling around in the afternoon rush, unable to navigate through the crowd to get to their buses.
• Also unmentioned: The onboard computer that broke down and delayed service for nearly an hour. The man who climbed a chain-link fence to get out of the station. Repeated door faults. LRT as a national news story.
• No mention of Mayor Jim Watson’s order: “Solve this damn door issue,” or of the red-vested ambassador who told a reporter: “I just keep saying, ‘I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.’”
