More people are using this streetcar than there are cars in this entire video. This line is getting 6-minute service, so we'll be spending millions in lost operating costs, fares, and value of time so those cars can get to an already-jammed highway.

That handle used to be (and is still managed by) TTCStuart but then they decided that impersonal corporate was the way to go.

This is almost a map of employment areas - the zoning that massively subsidizes surface parking

How Did This Suburb Figure Out Mass Transit? Transit ridership is off the charts in Brampton, Ontario, despite its typical low-density suburban layout. Here’s how the city got residents to get on the bus.

I've written an article on the extraordinary transit success of Brampton, how it was achieved, and the lessons it has for other suburban areas in North America. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

They deploy the buses anywhere as-needed, like when shuttle buses are needed when a streetcar is blocked, or say a bus goes out of service so its trips still get served. The problem is there’s zero transparency in how/where they’re actually used.

TTC literally has over 30 of these buses in the evenings it’s a question of whether they put them in the right places.

100% I was in Germany last week and my feed was flooded with crazy alt-right posts with the most hateful content related to the Christmas market attack. Combined with Elon endorsing a neo-nazi German party it’s enough to get me to delete X.
