  1. @carkner oh yes!

    Fast rail really means: no milk runs. Chilliwack to downtown should be no more than six stations — each that tie to transit corridors at each stop.

    #FastRail in the Fraser Valley:
    could be used by up to 100,000 people daily
    Probably 100 times the use of #highspeedrail between YVR and SEA

    Continued freeway building wastes time and money.

    The solution is better transit, not more car congestion!

  2. Just on transport/ freight emissions in #Australia. “If we replaced 260km of steam-age track with these three sections and another 10km elsewhere, we would cut two hours off the Melbourne–Sydney freight transit time. Energy use would fall at least 10%. Better still, faster tilt trains could then run, potentially halving the Sydney–Melbourne passenger trip to 5.5 hours.” #transportemissions #FastRail

  3. CW: Australian election (preferences)

    2/3… convivial relations with our Asain neighbours, ending support for the insane US/Russia #proxyWar, and freeing Assange. The former two items being a focus of the #CitizensParty, at a glance. They are also heavy supporters of online privacy, physical #cash, a govt bank and interstate #fastRail.

    To 'round out' a trifecta of quality parties, there's the #InformedMedicalOptionsParty (acronym #IMOP). They're standing for no forced #BigPharmaceutals. IMOP also…2/3

    It does appear to be developing a two-tier society, those who have a #corruptDoctor and those who don't.

    We are more interested in basic quarantine for #airTravellers, maybe #fastRail if they have travelled more than 2000km.

    Keep #boeing grounded. Since the #boeing737max has been grounded complaints about noise near airports have plummeted.

    Also we, as global citizens, can and should reduce our air-travel dramatically.

    Go #fastRail!
