1st world problem, but it's hard to use transit when frequency of service turns what would be a 35min/42km car trip into wasting half the afternoon. Specifics: For a Sat appt. at 215pm, by transit I'd have to leave at 12:00noon to get to a commuter parking lot + suburban train with on 26m connection arriving too early, and therefore 53m of waiting for the appointment.

All that to say; Greater Toronto Area would benefit from better transit. #Transit #RoadSafety #BetterCities

We can't / "WON'T" (because we're too cheap) afford to put platform screen doors on all of the @TTChelps, but we CAN select the busiest stations to pilot them, and make them standard on new stations going forward.

Because safety was our number one priority and paying for more police to chase after a crime has already occurred is cheaper than preventing it.

When Albert Einstein described the difference between logic and imagination, he might’ve well thought of @jankamensky.

I believe these visuals are a vital part of a toolbox any mayor and city hall would benefit from when changing their cities for better.

So I never did do an #introduction...

I live in Sweden, emigrated from the UK many years ago and am really sad to see the mess over there. I work in Telecoms - 5G, IoT, mobile networks & similar, and never cease to be amazed how things have progressed in 40 years in the industry.
Hobbies include hiking, sailing, running, painting, making stuff/ myog and woodwork.
And I have a brompton 🙂
Left wing, pro-Europe and will probably post about the climate Crisis, UBI, social justice, electoral reform, sustainability, and urbanism & better cities.
