Crowding at King TTC station (to exit) is bonkers and probably unsafe. 4 mins of waiting to make it to the stairwell.

Across Canada, there’s a growing number of political leaders proposing to force people into treatment for drug addiction, despite inconclusive evidence about its effectiveness.

The vast majority of VIA’s on-time-performance issues stem from freight trains. Amtrak performs better because U.S. law gives passenger trains priority. That’s why I tabled Bill C-371, the Rail Passenger Priority Act. Yet the Liberal government refuses to address this issue.

I hope that @BonnieCrombie and @MaritStiles are taking notes on what can happen when more progressive candidates cooperate to avoid splitting the vote, and to defeat a right wing opponent.

MARTA trains moved 175,000 people this weekend to major events like the @AtlantaFalcons or @ATLUTD games at @MBStadium, and the sold-out Billie Eilish concert at @StateFarmArena. For comparison, MARTA rail ridership on weekends without major events is around 100,000. Thanks for riding, everyone!

Dr. Phil tells Piers Morgan he gave speech at Trump’s rally as an “act of rebellion” because Kamala Harris snubbed him: “That was an act of rebellion on my part. I requested 25-plus times to speak to Kamala Harris, I offered to give the identical speech at a Harris rally.”

Interesting read! My only issue is that we shouldn’t assume "streetcar" is the best technology for a dedicated south False Creek transit route. Feasibility studies might reveal other options with better travel times & reliability, which are crucial to boosting ridership.

Businesses know when transit sucks, and they suffer for it. What if transit didn't suck? 🚌 @BigBrosBarbers putting it bluntly 💇 If only we knew a way to trim down trip times and up(do) bus reliability 😌
