🎉 Excitement is in the air! Save the date for this special event, a spin-off from our successful City for Life event series, featuring @nerd4cities.bsky.social. Grab your seat through our event platform: pathsforpeople.org/citynerd #yegbike #yegwalk

Edmonton is growing and growing fast, if we don't want to waste people's times and money sitting in traffic, our public transit system needs to be able to keep up Thank you @keithgerein.bsky.social for this great piece on transport priorities and infrastructure edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

We’re helping @yegbike.bsky.social collect info on bus driver and biker interactions to figure out how better infrastructure and education can improve safety! Fill out the form on your experiences biking near buses at their link

We've partened with ETS and ‪@etriders.bsky.social‬ to collect feedback about cycling safety and transit buses. We want to hear about interactions you've had (good or bad) so that we can work to make cycling near transit safer for everyone! tally.so/r/3Xkpve #yegbike #yegtransit

A nice listen where @christofspieler.bsky.social and @denisagar.bsky.social talk about transit advocacy, and North America for @movementyvr.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fe8...

Edmonton needs a fast and affordable strategy to keep people and buses moving through our city, and the Transit Priority Measures Program can do just that #publictransit #transit #bus #yegcc #yegtransit #yeglrt

Okay, this is going to be nerdy, but Edmonton's transit service deficit and its widening is one of the main issues facing public transit in our city and we thought you all should know #yegtransit #yeglrt #yegcc #transit #publictransit #publictransportation #edmonton

Check out the before and after of the Mill Woods Pride Walkway Thank you Mill Woods Presidents’ Council for supporting this project, and everyone who came out to help #pride #pridemonth #transit #publictransit #publicart

After just one day we’ve collected so many creative ideas from transit riders on how to make our system better Stay tuned for your next chance to cover the bus! #yegcc #yegtransit #yeglrt

We want to hear from transit riders! We are trying to cover this bus with rider driven ideas for improving our transit system This bus will be with us at all our events, with a supplementary “share your story” form at edmontontransitriders.org #yegcc #yegtransit #yeglrt

Thank you to everyone who came out to help freshen up the Mill Woods #pride walkway!

Remember to stop by tomorrow morning!

Willie Brown Middle School is a San Francisco 6-8 in the Bayview District. For the entire ‘24-‘25 school year, I have been driving the 44 O’Shaughnessy bus that stops there right after school gets out. That trip has been the busiest and most challenging part of my working day.

This Saturday come down to Mill Woods Transit Centre and help us make our transit system a more welcoming and inclusive place! We will have snacks, coffee, and fun transit conversations See you there!

This piece out of Charlottetown touches on the importance of public transit service improving along with population growth, and how we can plan growth to support transit ridership rather than car-dependency

Hi @etriders.bsky.social. Question for you? I thought the Capital Line was already at capacity during rush hour. Won't this make the problem quit a bit worse? (I'm probs just wrong about the above, but would still like clarification!) Thanks to @taprootedmonton.ca for the write up!

The Capital Line South Extension to Ellerslie is officially under way! This project will speed up trips for those in the quickly growing southwest, and free up a lot of buses previously stuck in traffic on 111th street to be used elsewhere in our network #yegcc #yeglrt #yegtransit

We want transit on the minds of every city council candidate this fall Fill out this survey by @taprootedmonton.ca to help elevate the importance transit issues and opportunities for this fall's municipal election #yegtransit #vote4transit #yegcc #yeglrt edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/questio...

For more fun on June 7th, stop by the 96th st open streets

Bus lanes work so well and Edmonton needs more of them If you want to help us get bus lanes built along 101st street go check out edmontontransitriders.org/transit-101/

Come join ETR as we repaint the Mill Woods Pride Walkway🌈 on Saturday June 7th! No need for any supplies, experience, or RSVP. Just stop by between 9:30 and 11:00am to come help paint or to chat about transit More info here: edmontontransitriders.org/pride-walkway/ See you there

Earlier this month we were happy to join @pathsforpeople.bsky.social on IDEA's podcast 'In Development' to discuss how improving public and active transit can help support infill development in Edmonton Here is a quick clip from the episode, hope you enjoy! #yegcc #yegtransit #yeglrt

There are 4 days left in this legislative session. Please, share the letter or sign it yourself so that the Minister knows people care about safe mobility! win.newmode.net/pathsforpeop... #yeg #yegbike

We and @pathsforpeople.bsky.social were guests on IDEA's In Development podcast. We chatted about the intersection between development and transportation, and how they can work together to build a better Edmonton! #yegtransit #yeglrt #yegcc open.spotify.com/show/30Ie7GA...

Hi everyone, We've run into a bit of trouble with our website, so it and our email accounts will not be operational for the next few days We know the issue and almost have it sorted so no worries Sorry for any inconvenience

Happy Birthday DATS 🎂 🥳 Today we went to Percy Wickman Garage to celebrate Dedicated Accessible Transit Service's (DATS) 50th birthday! DATS fills crucial gaps in our public transit system by allowing those who cannot use regular transit a way to get to where they need to go #yegtransit #yegcc

Minister Dreeshen’s comments and overreach into local projects has been deeply concerning 🚨 We must speak up for municipal autonomy and safe streets that support all community members regardless of their needs, abilities or chosen mode of transportation #yegbike 👉 win.newmode.net/pathsforpeop...

Thank you to everyone who came out to Meadows today! We had some great conversations about accessibility on transit, and the importance of matching funding to population growth (and we gave away some cupcakes) See you at the next one #yegcc #yegtransit #yeglrt

Today is the federal election 🇨🇦 And for many Edmontonians getting to the ballot box is going to be easier thanks to recent bus service improvements! Important decisions on transit happen at all levels of government, consider how your vote today will impact public transit #canpoli #yegtransit

ETS is adding 50,000 service hours, and that calls for a celebration! Join us at the Meadows Transit Centre on Monday, April 28, from 9:30 to 11:00 am for free coffee and treats. 🚌☕🗨️ Thank you, APIRG, for sponsoring this event. #yeg #yegTransit #yegEvents #ETS
