  1. Happy of course, but I don't want to be too happy. You know that I will eventually leave this city. I don't want any feeling of longing to this city except my grandparents' house and land. Nothing more than that. My life can't develop well in this city.

  4. All sustainable cities need integrated, adequate and affordable public transportation. Even though at the time I posted this post there were only two bus routes, that is quite a progress because previously this city does not have good public transportation at all.

  7. This bus system is a collaboration between the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation and the Government of Manado City. It was launched on 19 November, 2026. There wouldn't be this service if the mayor of this city at that time wasn't smart and I thanked him personally for this.

  10. It's been a long time since I've taken a bus. So this is me on the "Trans Manado" city bus, the first bus rapid transit system in Manado City. Honestly, I was really helped by this and it must be said that this is one of the best city government policies in years

  13. ION EXTENSION DELAYED

    The future of ION extension to the city of Cambridge remains uncertain. 

    The Region of Waterloo council originally approved the Light Rail Transit (LRT) ION system in 2009. It was to be a link across Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge, with a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) linking Kitchener and Cambridge. 

    Plans for Stage 2 ION, bringing the LRT transport system from Fairway Station in Kitchener through the urban centres of Cambridge to downtown Galt, were officially announced in June 2019, but the project has since been subject to significant delays. 

    A report to Cambridge City Council in 2023, estimated the expansion cost at $4.5 billion, a number that had nearly tripled since 2021. In June 2024, Matthew O’Neil, manager of Rapid Transit Coordination at the Region of Waterloo, said he expected construction to begin in 2032, seven years later than initial estimates. 

    On Apr. 3, Grand River Transit (GRT) revealed their ten-year business plan, which made no reference to Stage 2 ION expansion. 

    Councillors expressed frustration with the continued ambiguity surrounding the project. On The Mike Farwell Show on 570 NewsRadio Kitchener, former Cambridge Mayor Doug Craig was asked if Cambridge is being shortchanged on transit. 

    “Of course we are,” he said. “We don’t have [an] LRT, we don’t have a GO train, and we’re paying for the LRT in KW […] and we’re wondering when is ours going to come to the city of Cambridge?” 

    Stage 2 ION plans were thrown into further doubt on May 9, when Cambridge Mayor Jan Liggett endorsed the notion of rapid bus transit over LRT expansion. In a Cambridge council meeting, Liggett mentioned the option was raised by Waterloo Region council staff members that day. 

    “I know that’s earth-shattering news, but that was an open session of regional council today,” she said. 

    Liggett went on to say that the $4.5 billion cost of LRT expansion is not a realistic prospect. 

    “That’s an impossibility. We don’t have that much money in our budget in any given five-year span to put towards something like this,” she said. 

    The impact of the LRT in Waterloo and Kitchener has been positive. In 2023, $429 million in new building permits were issued in land along the LRT line. A growing percentage of the region’s population are reportedly moving to locations within a 10-minute walk of an LRT stop. 

    Cambridge councillors in favour of the expansion believe that it would have a significant impact on city rejuvenation.  

    “The ION expansion would have a positive impact on private investment and city rejuvenation. Every report has predicted this, and we have seen firsthand how this happened for Kitchener and Waterloo along the ION Stage one1,” Pam Wolf, Cambridge city councillor, said in a statement. 

    Former councillor Rob Deutschmann noted the ION expansion could attract $5-10 billion in private investments along the area, according to Cambridge Chamber of Commerce estimates. 

    The Region of Waterloo council have confirmed that nothing has been finalised yet, with the Initial Business Case for Stage 2 ION to be presented to Cambridge City council in November.

  14. Some kudos to #CapMetro #ATX:

    The new #BusRapidTransit took me from downtown to 51st St in FIFTEEN MINUTES.
    Literally as fast as driving.
    Holy hell.

    It was absolutely the right move to open these lines ASAP, even with long headways + diesel buses. “Done is better than perfect.” 🙌

    Bonus: Today the 800 is running a #electricbus, and damn these things look & feel like the future. And they still smell like new-bus ✨ #Austin is that much more a serious city with #transit like this.

  17. Il #trasportoPubblico non è solo Europa e Asia. L'esempio di #Bogotà

    Dopo aver sviluppato il sistema di #BusRapidTransit #BRT (#TransMilenio) più grande al mondo, la città sta costruendo 2 linee metro di superficie. Inoltre è dotata di una cabinovia urbana #TransMiCable per raggiungere una zona altrimenti esclusa.

    A completare il quadro ci sono ben 370 km di #ciclabili!

    Mi piacerebbe sentire l'esperienza di qualcuno che ci è stato!

  18. IndyGo receives $149 million federal grant for Blue Line bus rapid transit project

    "Officials said the 24-mile project will “provide fast and frequent public transportation” for one of the main east-west travel corridors in Marion County. This will include 12 miles of dedicated bus-only lanes in the “urban core”

    The route will provide access to downtown, the Capitol, the airport and the zoo, as well as three high schools.

  19. Wow. Measured by boardings, route 49 is the far-away winner for 2024, at the top of the list for most months.

    I guess BRT (opened in 2022) is really paying off!

    N Judah was top of the heap in 2019 before COVID threw a wrench into everything and still maintains a respectable 2nd place.

    Given higher costs for tunnels and rail maintenance that's gotta be frustrating to see BRT take over the top spot from light rail.

  20. Cleveland: As RTA Teases Plan for West 25th Street Bus Rapid Transit Line, a Debate About Design and Bike Lanes

    I think the author is pretty anti-bike lane, although it's mostly subtle stuff. But there's also this gem: "Others feel that tampering with delicate on-street parking spots would draw complaints from businesses." Seriously?

  22. Nashville's initial BRT plan went to Indianapolis

    "Leaders had proposed a dedicated lane down West End, known as “the Amp.”

    The Amp proposal was thwarted amid major opposition. When the plan died, the federal funding that Nashville had received for it was redirected to a different city.

    “You can ride the Amp, but you have to go to Indianapolis to do it,” Bland said."

  23. @montrealinfobot Un projet de transformation de #Stroad en axe laissant moins de place à l'automobile à Montréal, avec un couloir de transit rapide par autobus et un corridor express vélo.

    This project aims to turn a major stroad in Montreal into a shared space between #bicycles, #buses and #cars. It will implement a #brt (or #busrapidtransit ) and something unique to Montreal, #REV or #reseauexpressvelo which is a type of protected bike lane for longer distance travel.

  24. #Prasarana Malaysia Bhd is committed to making improvements to its transport services to make #publictransport the preferred mode of travel in the #KlangValley.
