  • Summary

  • Brian interviews John Lorinc. John is a Toronto freelance journalist, editor and ghost-writer. He specializes in cities, climate and technology. Lorinc has contributed to numerous national and local publications including The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, Spacing Magazine, Walrus, Canadian Business, Reader's Digest, and the New York Times. He delves into why transit projects, like those by Metrolinx, are so costly and slow to complete. A University of Toronto Cities study highlights "soft costs," such as consultant fees, as a primary reason for these inflated expenses. The discussion also critiques the Triple-P model and the need to reconsider approaches like InfraOntario. This examination raises crucial questions about improving efficiency and accountability in transit infrastructure development.
