Great letter in TC by James Mayer "With dedicated lanes, transit becomes fast and predictable. And on routes with frequent service, that makes transit an attractive choice for many people" timescolonist.com/opinion/letter… #yyj #yyjpoli #yyjbike

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.

The much-anticipated RFQ for the new long distance fleet, funded in the 2024 federal budget after much campaigning, has now been published.
Check out the concept artwork… both domes and panoramic windows, with 21st century accessibility!
VIA Rail Canada@VIA_Rail
We’re proud to announce the launch of the Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) to replace our pan-Canadian fleet with new trains that will offer a modern, comfortable, accessible, and sustainable experience to our passengers, from coast to coast to coast!

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.

Great letter re #trafficevaporation and infrastructure priorities in the TC. We should be investing in public transit not making traffic worse and increasing GHG pollution with highway expansion boondoggles. timescolonist.com/opinion/letter… #yyj #yyjpoli
