L’approche de l’administration en place: pas assez de déblaiement et trop de chargement. Ça coûte plus cher, pour des résultats plus mauvais. Et pourtant, l’administration semble vouloir redoubler d’ardeur dans cette direction

On s'étonne que les pistes soient déneigées avant les trottoirs, mais jamais que la route le soit avant les voies actives. On cite les urgences, en ignorant le danger pour ceux forcés d'aller dans la voie véhiculaire car la piste cyclable et trottoir sont enneigées. REV Berri, proche de Crémazie.

How it started -> how it's going Number of passages on weekdays on Montréal's STM lines 55 and 80+535/435/480 in 2010, 2013 (network 10 minutes max) and 2025. It's brutal. Now I know why I've stopped riding bus 80 and why I take the 55 much less...

The next time someone says, "Oh, I'm just going 10 miles per hour over the speed limit, what's the big deal?" you should show them this

Rencontre concernant la piste cyclable sur Atateken, lundi prochain à 18h30 à la salle du conseil de Ville-Marie. Cette piste devrait servir de détour de la piste Berri durant environ 2 ans. Je vous invite à assister si vous avez des opinions sur cette piste!

Tactical wayfinding as activism, Singapore edition

Félicitations à @villedemontreal.montreal.ca pour cette mesure inclusive : à certaines intersections avec feux sonores, un appui prolongé sur le bouton piéton déclenche une phase protégée ou prolonge le temps de traverse.👏👣 #accessibilité #visionzero

Montréal est maintenant la 1ère ville en Amérique du Nord à avoir reçu le label "Bike City" de l'UCI! Ca veut dire qu'on accueille des événements cyclistes d'envergure, tout en développant le réseau cyclable du quotidien. Fierté!

it's cool to see translink, the mayors' council and access for everyone doing some self-advocacy to secure more frequent transit through ops funding. in toronto, this doesn't happen. while some of our board cares about fixing funding, our ceo recently boasted about transit being packed 🙄

It's amazing how TTC can take down activists' signs showing better wayfinding in hours when their own outdated signs stay posted for months, even years. www.thestar.com/news/gta/way... @ttcriders.bsky.social

Advocates give TTC station a makeover to spur city to fund new wayfinding system TTCriders says existing system has 'hodgepodge of signage' that needs updating www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“Our public transit isn’t failing; it’s being intentionally starved.” Pitch-perfect messaging and framing from @elisejoshi.bsky.social. Transit advocates everywhere: watch this video, learn from it, apply to your local contexts, repeat.

Within hours, TTC took down the signs installed by volunteers this morning. We'd hoped our helpful suggestions would stick around to help riders navigate. That's why we're asking Councillors to invest in the TTC's wayfinding strategy in the next budget: tttcriders.ca/wayfinding

Cette histoire a été montée de toute pièce par le maire d'Anjou Luis Miranda. Que peut-on s'attendre d'un maire qui intimide les enfants qui viennent au conseil d'arrondissement? Lui on s'y attend. Mais que ce même mensonge soit repris par Soraya Martinez, c'est inacceptable. #polmtl

Lotta big upgrades to the MTA's front-facing user experience in the last 12-18 months. Shows what the agency can do when the leadership isn't getting cycled out every ~nine months after a gubernatorial tantrum.

Le Mont-Royal est un trésor collectif. Avec le projet Camillien-Houde, on protège la montagne, on facilite l’accès pour toustes et on sécurise les déplacements. 🌿 Un projet pensé pour aujourd’hui — et pour demain.

Le transport collectif est essentiel à la qualité de vie, au climat et à l’économie. Le budget déposé par Québec marque un recul inquiétant : coupures dans le métro, abandon du tramway... Projet Montréal demande un vrai réinvestissement. ✍️ Signez : projetmontreal.org/petition/pet...

Surprise surprise : le PQI inclut le 3ème lien, mais exit le Tramway du Sud-Ouest vers Lachine et le SRB sur Saint-Martin à Laval. La CAQ sont des cancres, incompétents et menteurs. 😤 #polqc

Moins de voitures, plus de verdure — ça vous dit, Paris? 🌳🚶 Ce dimanche 23 mars, la Ville lumière vote sur la végétalisation et piétonnisation de 500 nouvelles rues à travers ses quartiers! Vous devez bien vous douter de ce qu’on espère comme résultat 😉

Tech people get angry at me when I tell them that I advise transit agencies not to buy the first version of anything.

Ça, c'est la société dans laquelle je veux vivre... #transport #japon

Just another Waymo picking up in the bike lane on Townsend and 3rd. They programmed them to do this on purpose. But sure, tell me again how cyclists should worship robocars as our traffic-safety saviors 😒

Traffic evaporation happens every time you narrow roadways or charge tolls, but we still have to convince electeds and planners every single time that it works because they never believe it.

This is very sad. Our last mighty department store. You could see the decline over the years. Hoped it could make it thru. Other countries can maintain a busy dept store (Spain, recently, 9 floors of busyness at the El Corte Inglés, Japan's were great, Ke De We in Berlin, John Lewis in London...).

No question: Most people would prefer door-to-door, on-demand trips over a fixed-route bus. The problem is that each trip on microtransit/ridehail is *massively subsidized*. Over time, the transit agency has only bad options: - Spend additional $$ on on-demand - Ration trips - Let service degrade

Chicago introduit un réseau de bus 10 minutes max, 7 jours sur 7. D'ici la fin de 2025, celui-ci comptera 20 lignes de bus. On peut seulement rêver de ça à Montréal.

CTA is introducing a 10-minute bus network to chicago this month across 8 routes, expanding to 20 bus routes by year-end 🥳 it stands out from other US "frequent" networks: -runs every 10 min or better as opposed to every 15 -effective 7-days a week, all-day from 6am-9pm (9am-9pm weekends) 1/5

Every Canadian voter should watch this. A remarkable endorsement, and from a Conservative. It really reinforces how unusual the opportunity is for someone like Mark Carney to be Canada’s Prime Minister at this unprecedented moment of economic and sovereignty threat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bISJ...

You mean building more housing brings down rent?

Congestion pricing appears to be terrible for McDonald's, but great for public health. "For every 30-second increase in traffic delay per mile traveled, there was a 1% increase in visits to fast food restaurants."

It's impressive how 4-way stop-heavy intersection management is in Montréal, even on arterials with bus service (red). 4-way stops can be even worse than traffic lights because they always force the bus to halt, often repeatedly with stops-inch forward-stop if multiple vehicles are in line.

The Trump admin is causing chaos in transport research. Studies have been canceled, datasets have vanished, and experts have been fired. The Nat'l Academies’ Transportation Research Board has caved to Trump’s demands for censorship, triggering upheaval. Its future is in doubt. From me (w/scoops) 🧵

Over 40,000 people killed on our roads every year. Tens of millions of lives upended due to road violence. And you're wondering why I'm screaming at you as you make an illegal right on red, violating the crossing signal I've waited 3 minutes for, while staring at your phone? #RoadSafety

Northstar on the way out? www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

NYC Congestion Pricing Month 1 🚶‍♀️Foot traffic up 4.6% 🚌 Bus ridership up 6% w/ improved bus times 🚇 Subway ridership up 7% 🚗 Vehicle traffic down 9% ⏰ Drive times 20% - 50% faster 👍 60% of NYC voters want it to continue 👍 66% support among those who drive into congestion zone at least once a week

A great lesson in economy of design. Platform is squeezed into the 14 feet of the old 3rd track; the platform edges are staggered to allow for vertical circulation and to offset the train loads. With no room for benches on windscreens, they added the tube.

What would a TV ad promoting alternatives to driving look like? What if people who love cycling and progressive transportation reclaimed ideas like freedom, independence and even patriotism? We decided to give it a shot. Check out our new video, "America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike."

Gens de @montreal.ca , j’ai vu nos équipes essayer de ramasser nos bacs… c’était pas évident! Pour le reste de la semaine, on va donc suspendre les collectes. La situation est exceptionnelle. Aidez-nous, même si ça veut dire de reprendre votre bac et d’attendre à la semaine prochaine!

Qui roule sur les pistes cyclables à Montréal? 🚲 ➡️ 740 000 Montréalais·es utilisent le vélo comme mode de transport (Vélo Qc, 2020) ➡️ 2020: 1,1 M de cyclistes - plus que le nb de voitures ➡️ 2024: BIXI explose les records avec 13M trajets 💡 Les cyclistes aussi sont des citoyen·nes montréalais·es.

Selon Mme Martinez, les pistes cyclables faites dans les dernières années l'auraient été «au détriment des citoyens». J'ai deux questions pour elle : 1) Si c'est le cas, pourquoi sont-elles aussi populaires? 2) Les cyclistes ne sont pas des citoyens? Et ça accuse les autres de dogmatisme... #polmtl

I LOVE CONGESTION PRICING

Je viens de découvrir qu’il y a un passage du train Mascouche qui prends 1h30 minutes, pendant que toutes les autres passages prends 52 à 54 minutes, et ceci sans passer par le contournement du Mont-Royal.

“MTA Chair Janno Lieber said the reduction in traffic has allowed some of the agency’s buses to move faster than their schedules account for. Lieber said he’s considering boosting bus service as a result.” 🚌🚌🥳🥳 gothamist.com/news/manhatt...
