@ambermac But when we install transit lanes on Dufferin and Bathurst, we stop caring about response times? Drivers are an odd bunch.

👀 Where is the data that ambulance response times are on the rise because of...bike lanes? Please root your efforts in actual evidence rather than this ridiculous bike-lane hate.

#NEW: University Ave. should be a hospital corridor first, not a traffic experiment. We are calling for removal of bike lanes that slow ambulance access to Canada’s busiest hospitals. Sign the petition. Share this post. abctoronto.org/petitions/bike… #TOpoli #Toronto

Saw a @cityoftoronto truck parked in the bike lane. When I asked the driver why, as a representative of the city, he was endangering cyclists he said, “It doesn’t matter. You can take a picture, they tell us to do this.”

Listening to a podcast at 1.25x speed is weirdly soothing.

Absolute insanity. Drivers will NOT give up the comfort of their own car for public transit in Toronto. I'll sit in my car for hours before I ever take piss smelly TTC bus full of crack addicts anywhere in this city They keep trying but drivers aren't giving up their cars but we will give up spending money downtown Enjoy my exhaust Mayor Chow for Brains It's never been worse 👇

RapidTO is already causing havoc on Dufferin as cars remain backed up while the red bus-only lane remains barren. With so many cars sitting idle, carbon emissions will surely increase to the horror of environmentalist councillor @DianneSaxe who championed the RapidTO plan. A truly ironic twist of fate for Toronto’s resident climate activist. What do you think?

What is it about winter that’s so unexpectedly motivating?

Curious to see how the UP Express evolves in Toronto.

@Metrolinx Why isn’t UPX every 15 minutes like all other stations? Will it change when Line 5 opens?

A new modern station is opening November 16! The new Mount Dennis GO and UP Station will be opening its doors in a few weeks — and when that happens, it will bring three key transit options under one roof. Customers will be able to connect to Kitchener Line GO trains, UP Express trains as well as TTC bus service. There is also a direct connection with Line 5 Eglinton that will be available when the new light rail line opens. Along with the opening of GO and UP service at Mount Dennis Station, we will also be opening new underground pedestrian walkways at the new Cedarvale Station. Learn more: bit.ly/43ajGrw

You can order a Tesla on your phone, but you can’t let your Uber Eats driver in without running downstairs. That’s why we built Protobuzz. Because your front door should be smarter than your fridge. protobuzz.com

@TO_Cycling_Ped Ontario St. Leading to and away from Adelaide St. needs contra-flow bike lanes. It’s constantly used to cycle in the opposite direction - let’s make it safer.

Python is the only language where your code can run perfectly, even though you forgot to declare types, handle errors, and close the file. Beautiful. Terrifying. Pythonic. #Python #DevHumor

Wider roads bring more traffic, not less — and make Brampton harder to walk, bike, or build community in. Our wide streets are an opportunity: build cut-and-cover metros, reduce lanes, add walkable space + room for small business. Demand better. #Brampton #Urbanism
