For our 10th episode of Demystified, we'll be looking into the past instead of the future, and take a look at a very interesting proposed project here in the GTHA - the GO-Advance Light Rapid Transit (GO-ALRT) project. Proposed in the 1980s, this would've been a first step in electrifying the GO network (something we are still taking the first steps in doing right now), and offered a very different transit option up north. Enjoy!
