Wright-Gilbert has used her platform as a commissioner — and the power of social media — to insert herself into the heart of the discussion about this city’s LRT. She has repeatedly called out OC Transpo management for failing to provide timely information or a reliable service.
To transit riders, she has become a folk hero of sorts: a fulcrum for their exasperated calls for action.
To OC Transpo officials and some of her fellow board members, however, she has become something of a problem: a wild card who refuses to play by the house rules.
For her part, Wright-Gilbert says it’s not her job to be cheerleader for an underperforming system, but to speak for the city’s commuters.
