There's a revolution brewing in the world of transportation.

The trains are already being tested, and some stations are open.

The Grand Paris Express is next-level stuff...

Victoria shares the same problem, an underused/abandoned rail line just laying there. Since the private railway owners don't give a damn about track maintenance, it may be necessary to buy up the corridor which CN rejected when HRM was pursuing commuter rail

You may not like it, but this is the peak traffic calming device. Drivers are scared of this.

It comes down to the ownership of the corridor, Korean cities routinely use old and underused rail corridors for various projects. But in Canada, the most thing that can happen is rail-to-trail.

The rail corridor gets used once a day. Run commuter rail, even if by having to nationalize CN.

An extremely well placed right of way through the South End (rail cut) sends off one train a day to Ontario/Quebec

Nscc IT campus is surrounded by single family homes and a few apartments further north, when they should've been built far closer to the campus at least. That might've silenced the opposition.

Down with the new fancy tech, up with the traditional rail electrification!
No, hydrogen trains aren't as good as they sound.

If Edmonton is falling behind, then Halifax is going backwards. Edmonton has invested significantly in bike network and transit so far and there's more transit building.

Daniel 🇨🇦 @danyelling.bsky.social · 2d

Such a weird rhetoric that Edmonton is "falling behind", and that significant change in council is how we catch back up

We have made so many moves in the past 4 years to reduce our infrastructure debt, get transit to new area, modernize zoning and development

Like I don't get the mindset here

Build High-speed-train lines. Give people alternative options because this will defnitely happen in the future and god knows how long each one would last.
