my latest personal project has been drawing up a fictitious transit system for guayaquil, ecuador's most populous city
i was inspired to create tren guayas from the quito metro, which opened in 2023. time for ecuador's other big city to start thinking about mass transit beyond BRT!

I rarely have good news to report about this streetcar system, but this intersection is slated for transit lanes and a ban on left turns this year.
hopefully it serves as a model for the rest of our troubled streetcar system!
Things are slowly changing.

We hate to see it. Transit riders deserve better.
This month, the TTC reported that only *61%* of streetcars system-wide arrived on-schedule.

with a plan for 30 routes running every 10 minutes every single day, chicago has succeeded in securing funding for the most comprehensive frequent bus network in the country!
chicago's 10-m network stands out from other US cities in that the whole network runs on weekends. cities exist on weekends

Acting CTA President Nora Leerhsen’s ambitious plan would also expand — from 20 to 30 routes — the so-called “Frequent Bus Network” that provides service “every ten minutes or better” between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.

at least half of canada's economy happens in its six biggest cities. the toronto area alone is 20%.
these cities all run on public transit moving millions of people to work and opportunities every single day. if transit doesn't work, this country doesn't work. stop the cuts!

Except Budget 2025 proposes cutting funding from the Canada Public Transit Fund towards a more generalized fund, leaving less money on the table for important transit projects and state-of-good-repair 👎
This a step backwards for faster commutes and achieving our climate goals. Not good!

To build Canada strong, we’re building strong communities.
Budget 2025 invests more than $50 billion in new roads, transit, hospitals, colleges, and universities — to empower you with faster commutes, better services, and more opportunities.

every now and then, a TTC commissioner actually does something good without needing to be asked 1 billion times by advocates
Oh! Out of the blue, a motion from chair Myers to conduct a full scale review and scale up of transit signal priority in an attempt to speed up streetcars! You love to see it!!

they got me to like baseball like never before, when a few weeks ago i couldn't even tell you how baseball worked.
the good vibes & positivity from this team is infectious. it feels welcoming and warm, unlike the usual machoism in the sports world.
i'm going to be looking forward to next spring! 💙

Well, shit. I wrote something about this team we've been watching #bluejays www.humandchuck.com/baseball/202...
Before Game 7 — HUM & CHUCK
But doubt aside, the Toronto Blue Jays have earned it in all the ways a team can.
