Vancouver is building a 16km elevated automated metro extension for $4 billion. Which is $250million/km. In the Toronto region, the Eglinton East LRT and ION phase 2 LRT (which are mainly surface tramways) are proposed to cost roughly the same amount per km.

For a decade, residents of Tallinn, Estonia have had fare-free transit.

A new report recommends ending that policy, arguing that funding from fares would allow transit service to dramatically improve -- and thus attract more riders.

People who 'support' PT but, drive for the vast majority of their trips (when they could be on transit) exhaust me.

The emergence of urbanism online and the broader familiarity people have with it now is quite remarkable, I’m surprised it doesn’t get discussed more

To the free fare advocates out there:

OF COURSE free transit makes sense when collecting fares costs more than the revenue generated!

But no agency which operates a decent service has fare recovery that low! That just tells you it’s a service people don’t want to use!

There is more support than ever for public transport in America, but getting the right transit built requires many stars to be aligned. Let's talk about it.

Last month, Beijing Subway opened 3 segments of metro. Pushing the Beijing Subway to over 815km in length. Small thread on the openings. Map by chinhoyoo.

When people have brought up legitimate issues with costs and the way the project has been planned its been suggested that they are trying to stop the project - which is course the opposite of reality. Rising costs and delays are doing a fine job at that.

BREAKING: The leader of the Waterloo Region geese has broken their silence on yesterday's regional governance reform meeting: 'while you humans talk about city boundaries, we prepare'. When asked what they were preparing *for*, the lead goose hissed and chased our reporter.
