CFRA interview

Host: But cyclists go through red lights.
Me trying to get a word in
Host: We need our cars.
Me…
Host: Drivers’ time is more important. Cars are good for the environment (slight exaggeration on my part). 🤬😡🤬

Me after: He could have ranted all by himself. Didn’t need me.

Pique-nique sur l’autoroute. Quel joli titre! Ça fait rêver.

Et si on transformait le Queensway en parc linéaire géant? Une oasis de verdure au milieu de la ville.

Ou alors un canal. Une autoroute cyclable et un parc linéaire. Ou bien…

This is an excellent explainer on why transit is in the situation it is in.

Transit is *essential* to areas with limited space and lots of people. And those spaces should be given more of the decision-making and funding to make it work great, not just to muddle along.

Jarrett Walker @humantransit.bsky.social · 25d

I have a major piece in Bloomberg Citylab today. Should the US let transit fail, as Pennsylvania is already doing? And if not, what are the arguments we need to let it succeed?

www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Should We Let Public Transit Die?

Urban-rural hostility is fueling a public transportation crisis in US cities. But demands to abandon bus and train riders ignore the economic and social costs of cutting service.

The other day, I had to be extra careful on my bike. I was going straight in a painted bike lane and the car on my left was turning right. Both the driver and the passenger were looking at their phones!
I know better than to trust drivers. I slowed down, yelled, and eventually the driver looked up.😮‍💨
