  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

    #GreaterPortlandMetro launching transit service to #ScarboroughME

    Greater Portland Metro says it will be launching a new bus service connecting Scarborough and #PortlandME

    SCARBOROUGH, Maine — "Greater Portland Metro says it is launching a new bus service connecting Scarborough and Portland along Route 1.

    "The service is expected to run seven days a week and provide access to medical facilities, shopping, and regional employment centers. Exact stops and schedules are still being finalized, according to a news release.

    "The Maine Turnpike Authority approved $3.5 million over five years to support the project.

    "Scarborough Town Manager Thomas Hall said the route supports the town's transportation goals and could help reduce traffic.

    "Public meetings will be scheduled to allow residents to provide feedback, the release stated. A survey is also available here.

    "Greater Portland Metro serves Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport, Brunswick, Gorham, Scarborough, and Bath."

  14. 🚆💸 Philadelphia's transit system just voted to make your morning commute a thrilling game of "Will My Bus Show Up?" while charging you more for the privilege. 🤦‍♂️ Who needs reliable public transport when you can just pay extra to stand in the rain? 🙃

  15. @greenpeace
    > Call on the Government to restore funding for the Community Connect programme and ensure public transport is affordable!

    Call on bus drivers to quietly boycott NatACT First's fleecing of young people, by just refusing to charge them. Or get really ambitious and refuse to charge anyone, letting everyone ride for free, until the government reverses the decision.

  16. #Maine Voices: Nobody would benefit from the building of the #GorhamConnector

    Transit-oriented urban design boosts economies, reduces emissions and provides public space; the only long-term result of the Gorham Connector will be #sprawl.

    Posted September 29, 2023
    By Jasper Curtis

    "If the Gorham Connector is constructed and put to use, everyone in the state will lose out in more ways than one.
    First, there is the cost, up to $237 million. That’s a lot of money, and it’s on top of the $140 million already being spent on lane widening on Interstate 95. Spoiler alert, none of that money will relieve congestion. In fact, it will likely do the opposite, as proven time and time again in countless U.S. cities. On top of the $340 million total, there is the price of owning a car, which costs the average American $11,000 per year. New car prices are nearing $50,000. None of this is affordable to everyday Mainers. It’s time the state takes these costs seriously, instead of burdening taxpayers with more.

    "Increased road capacity simply leads to more cars on the roads and does not reduce the time spent in traffic. It is a case of #InducedDemand, where wider roads encourage more driving, more vehicles then fill the roads and the public is asked to fund another road- widening project. The cycle repeats itself to extremes, such as the 26-lane #KatyFreeway outside Houston, Texas, which did not solve traffic. St. Louis, Missouri, home to the most highway square mileage per capita in the country, has yet to cease traffic. Here we are again, however, being asked to fork over our tax dollars to an inefficient, ineffective solution to a problem that the state created with poor #UrbanPlanning and shortsighted #infrastructure projects.

    "Light #PassengerRail from #WestbrookMaine to #PortlandMaine would cost an estimated $75 million. That’s about $19 million per mile. If a similar cost-per-mile ratio were to be applied to the #GorhamConnector, the project would total $115 million. (Even if the cost-per-mile ratio were double the estimated cost of the Westbrook-to-Portland connection, building rail along the proposed Gorham Connector route would still save $7 million.) From Gorham to Portland, the cost of rail would be almost $30 million cheaper than the Gorham Connector, which reaches only to the Maine Mall in South Portland.

    "Rail helps not only commuters and students, but also those who require vehicles for work, because, unlike road widening, public transit reduces the number of vehicles on the road. Driving a work truck on public roads can be infuriating during peak traffic; I know because I have done so. The same goes for driving in an emergency. Rail would help these alleviate these problems; the Gorham Connector would not.
    While less quantitative than the previous points, #Maine must still be conscious of its #environmental and social goals. The Maine Department of Transportation (#MDOT) should keep these in mind before it decides its best solution to traffic is to encourage more internal combustion engines. Part of what makes Maine so special to residents is the nature around us. Let’s not wreck it for the sake of one more lane. Maine’s population is the oldest in the nation, and seniors deserve to have safe travel options.

    "Transit-oriented urban design boosts economies, reduces emissions and provides public space. There will be no long-term benefit from the Gorham Connector, only sprawl. It’s that simple. Honest Maine people work hard for their paychecks – they deserve infrastructure that uses their tax dollars with vision and purpose, not another wasteful, #pollution-filled project."

  17. Until #RapidTransit is established, at least the #GorhamPortlandMetro will keep running....

    Gorham joins Metro, keeps #HuskyLine public bus stops open

    The Town Council votes to become a member of Greater Portland Metro at a cost of $170,000 this year.

    "The bus line runs from the USM Gorham campus through Westbrook into Portland to the campus there and to the Old Port area. USM students and staff ride with passes and Gorham passengers paying fares can board at a stop on Main Street in the village, Libby Avenue at Main Street and campus. The public fare is $2 and $1 for the disabled, veterans and riders over age 65. All Husky Line passengers can transfer to other Metro routes."

  18. Rapid transit plan calls for 10-20 minute service through #PortlandMaine, #WestbrookMaine and #GorhamMaine

    Maine Public | By Nicole Ogrysko

    Published July 28, 2023

    "Local officials in #GreaterPortland are considering a system of #RapidTransit bus routes for the region.

    "Under a draft proposal from the Greater Portland Council of Governments, dedicated bus lanes would provide express service through Portland, Westbrook and Gorham more quickly than traditional bus service, with stops along the way.

    "The preferred route would start at the University of Southern Maine campus in Gorham, travel through downtown Westbrook and stop at the USM campus in Portland before heading down Congress Street and ending near the Eastern Promenade.

    "The proposal envisions service every 10 minutes between Portland and Westbrook, and 20 minutes between Westbrook and Gorham.

    "'That's frequent enough that you're not relying on a schedule anymore,' said Andrew Clark, transit program manager for #GPCOG. 'You're no longer planning your day around the bus schedule. You just know you can go out to the station, and the bus will be there in 10 minutes or something like that.'

    "Clark said service every 10-20 minutes should also lure riders who wouldn't normally consider taking #PublicTransit.

    "'I think people understand the role that transit can play in making our cities better, its role in reducing congestion, its role in better climate outcomes, better social equity outcomes,' he said.

    "Greater Portland Metro would operate the proposed route, but the vehicles and stops would have a different look than the service's existing buses, Clark added.

    "The proposed routes are still a long way away, Clark said. The cities of Portland, Westbrook and Gorham will need to decide how much road space can be freed up for dedicated bus lanes. The project will also need to secure federal funds for the new bus lanes and some new battery-powered vehicles.

    "Local officials also eventually envision rapid transit routes to South Portland, Biddeford and Saco, Brunswick and Windham."

  19. There are alternatives to the #GorhamBypass... This is one of them! A much better use for the #Infrastructure funds #Maine received!!!

    Gorham-Westbrook-Portland #RapidTransit Study

    The Gorham-Westbrook-Portland Rapid Transit Study examined the need for and benefits of a rapid transit line connecting Gorham, Westbrook, and Portland. Based on estimated ridership, travel times, operating costs, and social equity, the study concluded that the most direct and fastest route alignment is via Main Street, Brighton Ave, and Congress Street. From west to east, this alignment connects USM Gorham, Gorham Village, downtown Westbrook, Rock Row, USM Portland, Maine Medical Center, downtown Portland, and the Eastern Waterfront. See project document below:

    "The Bigger Picture. The purpose of this project is to provide fast, reliable, and frequent transit service that connects Gorham, Westbrook, and Portland's major transportation and/or activity centers. This project stems from our region's long-range transit plan Transit Tomorrow. That plan identifies five corridors where rapid transit is feasible. The Gorham-Westbrook-Portland corridor is the first corridor we studied. The bigger goal is to create a rapid transit network that allows us to meet the growing demand placed on our transportation network without building new roads or inducing more vehicle travel. "

  20. Have thoughts about the proposed #GorhamBypass? How you can make your voice heard

    A public meeting is scheduled for March 25

    GORHAM, Maine —"The #MaineTurnpikeAuthority wants to build a new toll road connecting the Turnpike to Gorham. The plan has sparked strong opinions both for and against since the route was announced in February.

    "The first public meeting about the Gorham connector is scheduled for March 25 in the Shaw Gym at the Gorham Municipal Center on South Street. An open house is scheduled from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., where people can look at displays and ask questions about the project. It will be hosted by area municipalities in partnership with the Maine Turnpike Authority and the Maine Department of Transportation.

    "At 6 p.m., a brief presentation will provide an overview of the project, after which attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments. If you cannot attend the meeting, you can watch online starting at 6 p.m."
