It will be impossible for Ontario to implement innovative (in terms of North American standards) and effective #PublicTransit as long as Ford remains in office. Ripping out #BikeLanes so we can add more cars means he would never replace vehicle lanes with a Tram or LRT network.
And recently they have drastically reduced Go Train schedules on important transit corridors, forcing more people into cars on highways.

Good Morning #Canada
Toronto's Line 5, referred to as the Eglinton Crosstown, has been open for over 6 months and the general consensus locally is that it's pretty good. This excellent video provides a review of the LRT, including the supporting network, benefits, negatives, and Toronto's overall design philosophy for #PublicTransit. It rightly points out Canada is generally bad at design and is still in love with cars.#CanadaIsAwesome #UrbanDesign #WalkableCities.

New from @[email protected] on @[email protected]
"The Eglinton Crosstown LRT recently opened in #Toronto ... it stretches across the middle of the city, it intersects with several other rapid transit lines, the trains are comfortable, and the service is frequent. What's not to like?"

If you're interested in the Ontario Line transit project in Toronto, the 15.6 km subway line that will cost $34B, then this post is for you. The line will bring 15 new stations to the city, reducing congestion and improving access. This documentary provides some history, an excellent overview of the entire project, and explains a little bit about how Ford's policies have contributed to tripling the original budget.#CanadaIsAwesome #PublicTransit

Something different this morning - an indepth look at Vancouver's #PublicTransit expansion to Langley. Big mass transit projects are relatively rare and governments still put to much focus on the car instead of liveable and walkable cities. This 14 km extension will transform Langley and connect it to Vancouver without increased vehicle traffic. -

I’m not even touching on all the fun stuff we did at various stops along the way! A full day. And I treasure my #KCMetro and #SoundTransit swag. 😁

We got on and off the G Line a few more times. We happened across a block party celebrating the G Line RapidRide expansion with live music and doughnuts and swag. So much swag! I got a Boop the Orca tchotchke. Another party member donated to the Transit Riders Union and got a sweet tee shirt.
-
From there, Andrew led us to the first G Line RapidRide stop, which I want to say is on 1st Avenue? We rode it to the downtown branch of the #Seattle public library, one of my very favorite buildings. We wandered the library a little before catching the G Line again for further adventures.

“Epic” got tossed around indiscriminately for so long I fear it’s lost all meaning, but I can think of no better word to describe today’s #Seattle adventure, instigated by my most indefatigable transit maniac friend Andrew. He gathered a group of like-minded enthusiasts to celebrate the opening of King County Metro’s #RapidRide G Line, and it ruled.

This week, I had a second go at collecting every single one of the Taipei MRT station stamps in one day.
What are station stamps? Many places in Taiwan (museums, railway stations, temples, even some restaurants), have unique rubber stamps that visitors can ink up and collect in a notebook. If you hunt around every MRT station in Taipei, you’ll find one. They’re usually kept close to the ticket barriers nearest the staffed help desk, and most are located outside the ticket barriers in the unpaid area of the station.
When the new TPass (a travel pass which gives you access to all MRT stations, train stations, buses and YouBikes across Taipei, New Taipei, Keelung and Taoyuan for NT$1200/month) was released, I decided to try and visit every single MRT station in one day. I failed. But that first attempt made me even more sure that it was possible, and determined to give it a second shot.
So that’s how I spent my day off this week. It took me almost exactly 17 hours to collect every single stamp, and in the process of doing so, I travelled over 180km. It is not something I am ever planning on doing again. (But I’ve heard there will be a new stop on the red line in the not too distant future…)
