SBC has beat the drum about the politics behind the anti-Archer project NIMBYs for 2 months, but no other outlets covered it. Thankfully, last week South Side Weekly picked up this key element of this story. Tribune's Yunus Emre Tozal, do us a favor and read this!

The Dorval Drought has ended
With more than 3B riders, the NYC MTA remains by far America's busiest transit agency
But there was a big shakeup in the ranking of other major transit agencies in 2025, with Chicago's CTA reclaiming the #2 spot from LA Metro and DC's WMATA then bumping LA Metro to 4th place

The “biggest remake of the bus network ever” will see Montreal’s bus network substantially reoriented around the REM.
Fewer long-distance bus routes, especially towards downtown. More local buses, taking people to the REM for longer trips.
