The average monthly cost of a new car in Canada is $1400 including gas, insurance, etc.
When transit becomes faster, more frequent, more reliable, a few more families are finally able to swap their $1400 car bill for a $140 transit pass.

Somebody please tell @fordnation that the solution to the geometry problem isn’t a $50B+ tunnel to double-deck 401!
Hayden@the_transit_guy
The Tokyo Metro Tozai Line moves three times as many people daily as the 12 lane-wide 405 freeway in Los Angeles. Dependence on highways for growth is fundamentally a geometry problem.

The National Conference on Street and Highway Safety met in Washington 100 years ago, from December 15 to 17, 1924.
The cartoon in this story reflects the conventional wisdom of the era, when traffic safety meant protecting pedestrians from motorists.

"What you do have to do is make it affordable for ordinary mortals..." -- Juri Maier, Back on Track Germany.
In Canada's future @VIA_Rail long distance train designs, we should aim to serve both tourists and local passengers.

Building HFR/HSR will help, eventually, but making VIA Rail's existing routes frequent and reliable now, through better regulation of track access and modest investments, would improve the situation in months, not years/decades.
