Gryffin is the #TransitDog of the day!💜
Gryffin was the perfect passenger on his train journey 🚂
It's so important he feels comfortable with the unusual sounds & movements of the train, in case his future deaf partner travels by public transport.
Not fazed one bit, Gryffin did a brilliant job - well done Team 🎉

"Nobody could possibly be this excited about a new public transit option." lol 🟣🚈
Lots of people on Reddit were in disbelief about all the positive REM videos, thinking it was a CDPQ conspiracy.
No, people really do like transit that much. You just don’t follow it when it happens in other cities.
And on top of that, the REM really is a particularly exciting project!

Q: What does it mean when there's a CROSS TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP sign under a stop sign at a 4-way intersection with 2-way stop?
A: It means the intersection should be a 4-way stop, but the DOT said no.
A: It means the intersection should be a 4-way stop, but the DOT said no.
Two-way stops on residential streets are a total menace.
I'm out walking the baby to sleep and just saw a neighbor (I recognize her car) run over a jogger and then proceed to blame him for being in the crosswalk.

The thing about people who say “I never see anyone biking in [place where people bike], we don’t need bike lanes” is: they don't look. Alas.😬
For all the people who say “I never see anyone biking in Worcester, we don’t need bike lanes” look! LOOK!!! Literally build it and they will come!!
The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.

What you fund shows what you value.
Meanwhile, #MoCo maintains massive, mostly unoccupied, vehicle storage facilities (parking garages) which operate at a loss. Priorities.

Every bus stop that consists of
a sign on a pole on the side of the road,
nothing else,
just a sign on a pole on the side of the road,
is a policy failure.

I had to go to a store on Bald Hill Road yesterday, so I took the bus(es). A total of 6 buses and a 4+ hour excursion for a trip that would have taken about an hour total with a car. If you ever want to feel like you're the least important person in the world, wait for a bus on Bald Hill Road.

All driveway crossings in downtowns should be continuous sidewalks - where drivers ramp up to cross the sidewalk, instead of pedestrians ramping down to cross the driveway.

Provide more transit and people will come!
Induced demand also works for trains!
New journeys, trips and adventures are created when new weekend trains are introduced.
More of this please!

Wow, big crowd out here in Guelph for the first weekend train. Lots of happy commuters and families going to Toronto for the day.
Thanks to everyone who pushed to convince Metrolinx that there is demand for weekend service.

Baxter is the #TransitCat of the day! You can take the Metro-North Hudson Line to visit him at Split Rocks Books in Cold Spring.
So many good things about tonight’s event at @splitrockbks.bsky.social but was especially thrilled to meet the bookstore cat

Streets are for dancing.
The caporales are the best part of the parade. I love that Silver Spring thanksgiving parade is like one quarter Bolivian dance troops. Love a good entrada.

So many discourse about addressing enforced car dependency is like:
- There is a problem. We should change things to fix it.
- But the change you want is not how things are.
- I know. That's why I said it should change.
- But if we changed it in a way you didn't suggest, there might be a problem.
