It costs the City of Ottawa $465/person each year to serve new low-density homes, over & above what it receives from property taxes/fees. On the other hand, high-density infill such as apartment buildings pays for itself plus an extra $606/person each year. Sprawl costs, infill saves. #UrbanTruth

I absolutely love the ’controls’ on the fully automated Mark V Skytrains! What kid wouldn’t love to sit in the front & pretend they are driving through Metro Vancouver. Kudos to the team that included this in the new trains. What a joy & a great way to make transit fun for young & old alike!

Join us at the next weekend's Kidical Mass after party at Riley Park 11am-1pm where you can taste test a "flotilla" of the best cargo bikes on planet earth. Show up for our kids! Enjoy a BakeBakeYYC cookie! Check out the latest in car replacement technology! #yycbike #KidicalMass

On D-Day, 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. The day saw 1,074 Canadian casualties, including 359 killed. It was a watershed moment in human history. Here are some of the Canadian stories from that day. 📸 LAC 🧵1/12

At the launch of the new East West Water Shuttle on the Toronto waterfront. A pilot project to test demand for a fixed route water transit service … and a potential pre-cursor to a permanent seabus system on the waterfront.

Live every day like it's World Bike Day.

Dufferin station and the Dufferin bus feels like a whole universe apart from where it was same time last year. Bus lanes, exit numbering, e-ink displays, proper LCD programming. They're really hammering out improvements.

Happy World Bicycle Day to all who celebrate! 🚲🚲🚲

Happy World Bicycle Day #yycbike. In 2018, UN declared Jun 3 as World Bicycle Day for "the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle, which has been in use for two centuries, and that it is a simple, affordable, reliable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transport."

Everyone on the street except for me: Wow look at this scenery and waterfall in Lauterbrunnen! Me: Wow look at this bus with an additional passenger carriage being towed for more capacity?

Everyone on the train except for me: Wow look at this scenery on the Luzern-Interlaken Express train! Me: Wow look at the steep grade we’re going up did this train just suddenly become a cog train? It did! 🤯

Mrs. Fietser went to pick up some flowers today from the local garden center. Naturally, she took the vehicle that made the most sense for the task, which was not our car.

RIP Sonny Rollins, a great jazz talent and the last surviving musician in one of the best photos of men in suits during the 20th century

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

Did you know that Chicago has an amazing skyline and you can just look at it from wherever for free?

please take your kids on public transit

No vans. 500+ miles. Every single job this month done by cargo bike 🚲 Turns out running an entire business by pedal power keeps you quite busy 😅 We’ve been flat out lately, pedalling from job to job with tools loaded onto the cargo bike 💪 #CargoBike #PedalPower #Bournemouth #sustainable #gardener

Thank you to all who turned out for tonight’s social ride. Special thank you to @klaszus.bsky.social and @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social for joining the ride, sharing some history of the Bowness Streetcar, and providing opportunities for everyone to print a special memento to keep.

vancouver's new articulated trolleybuses from solaris, 100% low floor with 4 doors for lower dwell times and better handling of crowds. will be the only of their kind in north america when they enter service.

The story of Calgary -- Mohkinstis -- has always been one of people coming here to build a better life, to find opportunity, community, and belonging. We are a city shaped by newcomers, builders, risk-takers, and people who chose hope over fear.

#Montreal ‘s REM added 4 new stations to its network today! I took a ride on one of the first trains out to Anse à l’Orme this morning. First impressions: a very nice ride (but we’ve really got to work on station-adjacent density). #transit I’ll be diving deeper at www.highspeed.blog

I certainly did celebrate today.

Today is National Train Day.

In today's episode of "Planners Pointing..."

what a thrill. today is going down in the history books as the day LA re-discovered how amazing true grade separated heavy rail can be.
