The province put out a Transit Supportive Guidelines draft. It is 367 pages long. That is absolutely ridiculous. ero.ontario.ca/public/2026-0…

If confirmed tomorrow, Brampton would be Ontario’s 4th municipality with a “subway” (which are broadly defined as “underground electric railways”). Toronto, Vaughan, and Ottawa also have subways according to this definition. Brampton is Ontario’s 3rd largest city.

We should probably take “transit to tourism destinations” more seriously in Ontario. Large ridership potential + great for the economy, especially with many young people going car-free. Some ideas: - TOR-Collingwood - Hourly TOR-Niagara - London-Niagara

Buses are the workhorses of many Canadian transit systems. But in most cities, they’re relegated to a life stuck in traffic, moving at slower and slower speeds as car congestion increases. I took a look at what bus lanes look like in five Canadian cities in the thread below:

The transit system in Brampton, a suburb of Toronto with 600,000 people, is so frequent and comprehensive that its ridership last year was larger than all of Dallas's and was equal to Miami's. Even suburbs with less than ideal land use can utilize good transit.

Helpful Council workshop on all @BramptonTransit initiatives, Queen-Hwy 7 BRT, Main LRT options with a lot of updates, including new information compared to the 2015 report. Definitely see the impact of inflation and missed opportunity in 2015. #brampoli
