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?"

An interesting article, it categorises the different reasons why the english speaking world public transit costs much more to build. Probably a good summary, but it sidesteps the core cultural reason – the anglosphere struggles to *look* at the outside world – which is a bit ironic when the core segmentation is cultural thing (english language). #publictransport #anglosphere #publictransit

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

It is probably about car dependency, car-centered areas. Like in the US where in many towns without a car one would struggle to do anything: getting to the grocery store, getting back from the store, reaching the other river bank as many bridges are motor vehicles only.People can’t live without cars in such places. Even food banks have huge lines of cars, four "lanes". Some homeless people drive cars as well. Imagine the closest grocery store being 1 hour walking distance away, and the weather may be extremely hot/cold.
Many such areas don’t even have sidewalks or anything for walking at all. At the same time so called "jay-walking" is prohibited by law. The term "jaywalking" actually was invented by the cars lobby in the early 20th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaywalking
Moving around by walking is extremely inconvenient, dangerous, taking ridiculous amounts of time, basically incompatible with everyday activities.Also the parking lots, roads, intersections take up huge chunks of the city. Consider how much longer it takes to walk somewhere compared to what it could be without all these. Urban areas could look very different if they were human-centered and Points Of Interest were packed tightly.
And the bigger the city, the more space car infrastructure takes up. More lanes, wider intersections, parking lots can have up to many thousands spots, highways, freeways, interchanges of ridiculous sizes and shapes.
The topic is huge, what I mentioned is just the tip. Think of what you see around every day. Also all the noise. And danger it brings to everyone, not just drivers. The number of so called "accidents", another convenient term for the horrible things that happen everyday.
The areas which are pedestrian-friendly, bicycle friendly, have public transportation tend to have happier residents, more attraction points, more small businesses, more street life, way better air quality, less noise among other benefits.
Also social connections and interaction happen there and not on a 4-lane highway.#Cars #Car #City #Urban #Streets

When you don’t support more active forms of #transportation like #publictransit and #cycling, this is the world we are supporting: #cars congesting much of the road. This is Marshall road clogged up from Sumas Way all the way to McKenzie road on a Wednesday afternoon. If you just add another lane for #singleoccupancy cars, you get the exact same issue: just another lane of #congestion only slightly shorter. But if you were instead to put in a lane for #buses and #cyclists, then we would have a new lane that actually moves people keep quickly than just another car lane. And when public #transit becomes faster and more reliable than cars, more people will pick transit over their cars, and that in turn also makes the road better for those who need to use cars for things like transporting items as they will have less congestion in their lanes from more people using the bus instead of a car for transporting people. Communities around BC are headed to #municipal #elections this fall, and if #Abbotsford wants to get out of its congestion issues, it’s time to vote for a #mayor and #council that will improve transit and other forms of active transportation that will get our roads moving quicker, like more #buslanes as well as brining the #Skytrain or another two-way passenger #rail service from Metro #Vancouver into Abbotsford. Let’s build transportation in this city that’s better designed to move people around #town, not one to move the car companies’ profits.

"The first agency in the state to roll out contactless payment was Monterey County’s Monterey-Salinas Transit, launching in early 2021 as a Cal-ITP pilot….As part of the 2021 contactless pilot, Monterey-Salinas Transit and Cal-ITP studied equity for unbanked riders – riders without access to a bank account and dependent on cash payments. The pilot came with fare capping, meaning riders can pay as they go, without ever spending more in a week or month than a pass costs.” https://cal.streetsblog.org/2026/05/27/an-update-on-contactless-fare-payment-across-agencies-in-california

[ Manĝu Rizon Lavu la Bovlon ]
Finfine mia sezono finiĝis.
Mi rememoras pri la monaĥon serĉantan saĝon de majstro ... la zen-majstro anstataŭe demandis:
"Ĉu vi skiis la tuta sezono?"...
"Do portu viajn valizojn." !!!Kaj en tiu momento al mi ili sentis pli malpezaj.
