Feeder bus networks are used around the world - from Toronto & Perth to Helsinki & Taipei.
It isn’t some conspiracy to enrich the Caisse… it’s BASIC suburban network planning 101 - making public transit more efficient and competitive!

With the opening of the REM, RTL’s local busses (and soon STM, Exo, & STL) no longer have to make long, duplicative trips into the city center, freeing up THOUSANDS of service hours for better local service.
There’s certainly problems with the REM’s execution - but this isn’t one!

The Eglinton and Finch "LRTs" Will be viewed as streetcars, possibly nice streetcars. It's so unfortunate that the TTC and the city of Toronto are so conservative and unwilling to adopt best practices from around the world when it comes to Transit

J'adore.
These are absolutely my new favourite things.
The only rational explanation is that the project leader's cousin sells emergency doors because any other explanation is too absurd to believe.

Dorval is one of those low-hanging fruit multimodal hubs with incredible potential (airport + through regional/intercity +metro) and could be the next Frankfurt flughafen bhf and yet in our collective institutional + political incompetence we refuse to even try.

I’d add that it is a core job of transit agencies to sell service improvements to politicians as something that is “ribbon cuttable”

A good capital plan is preceded by a good operational plan :)

You can see the contours of planning regulations from 30,000 feet. People will look at this and say it’s the free market doing whatever it wants? Look harder.

The various circulation arrangements define a large central area where through traffic is banned.
This is how you actually "ban cars" in many European cities, and politicians and advocates must understand the mechanics of circulation planning if they want to replicate it here in North America.

Agreed - it’s important to inform the community and be transparent. But the current institutionalized form of input should be abolished for pilot projects.
