About me Transit

Toronto needs to build on what it has, not fall back on old tropes

The best way to improve transit in Toronto is to focus on affordable, quick, and effective solutions

Adding priority bus lanes is one way to speed up transit across the entire city

Transit planning is a long-term endeavour, not a one-time project with a single solution. In a municipal election year, we need to demand more from leaders and those charged with planning and running transit services than simple soundbites that recall old political slogans.

In Spacing, I wrote about the trouble of resorting to catchphrases such as “subways, subways, subways” when our transit troubles are more widespread — yet also fixable. We simply cannot rely on a single solution to our transit woes.
