Ahead of tomorrow's @ttcriders.bsky.social streetcar summit, @flurfdesign.bsky.social put out this video explaining why Toronto's streetcars are the slowest on Earth and how they can be fixed. #TTC #TOpoli youtu.be/CPbXfHFbke0?...

if toronto doesn't tear down the gardiner expressway, i dream of it one day becoming a linear park like the high line in nyc

but hey i saw a cyclist roll past a stop sign the other day

"choose your fate" ahh crosswalk in brampton 💀😭

a pair of go trains entering union together

public consultation results for dedicated transit lanes on bathurst+dufferin. note overwhelming support (75%+ dufferin, 67-68% bathurst) for transit priority+converting parking to transit lanes. transportation services recommendations + councillor compromises do not reflect what people want.

the view from the train west of union station goes hard

I go to Pride for the transit agency tent

nice tram system in the songjiang district of shanghai. all it needs is signal priority and more GRASS

the shanghai urban planning museum is totally worth checking out if you're ever in the city! it did kinda feel like it was pushing an idealistic narrative at times, but overall a fascinating insight into how chinese urban planning works

[1] suburbs and small cities in china have some of the best bike infrastructure, like here in the "small" city of Yancheng, Jiangsu (pop. 1.7 million)

others came to sunny bay to see hong kong disneyland, i came to sunny bay to see trains

I wish Singapore had some trams with grassy tram tracks... there's definitely enough room lol

Hong Kong's light rail system, with some great bike paths at Tuen Mun

So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

Good wayfinding is a key part of any good transit system, and Torontos needs a major overhaul. I will be displaying my digital wayfinding project at OCAD University's GradEx from May 7 to 11th! Its free and features work from tons of other talented students! Come check it out if you're in TO!

Your local subway station just got a ✨️glow up✨️ Wayfinding on Toronto transit needs a massive overhaul, which is why ive worked with the excellent team at TTCriders to give King station a much needed makeover. Check it out if you're around!

a small but impactful change at a local intersection. curb and sidewalk extended out to narrow the traffic lane + patch of dirt for future rain garden???

absolutely stunning. vignelli is the GOAT

like many people, I was frustrated with the poor digital wayfinding found throughout transit systems in the GTHA, so as part of my undergrad thesis at OCADU, I designed my own. here are some mockups of what I've been working on the past few months:

pov: canadas economy shuts down because streetcar in toronto needs to change directions

the carpark megacomplex at rutherford go station

New video by @flurfdesign.bsky.social : "Over 40,000 Americans die each year in traffic collisions and hundreds of thousands are severely injured [...] Car crashes and dangerous driving are seen as unavoidable; an everyday part of modern life" #carbrain #roadsafety #visionzero
