I love taking public transit - even on vacation. Here’ s a view from the #edinburgh #tram 🚃. It’s separated and has its own right of way. #Toronto has so much to learn 🥲
www.ttc.ca/riding-the-t... The last new addition to the #TTC was ~ 23 yrs ago. I'm *so* excited to ride on Line 6 once it opens and to explore a new part of #Toronto 🤩
Coming December 7, 2025 - Line 6 Finch West

www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRPd... its a long one and I'm only halfway through but #notjustbikes slaps again with this super thorough & well-researched video. I'd heard of John Forester before but of course he seems to be an even bigger asshole than I thought. 🤬

Seeing this reddit thread old.reddit.com/r/askTO/comm... - the suburbs were always a trap. We're just lucky that we have 1 Fare now so you don't have to pay for TTC AND GO. #Toronto
How people are handling the cost of a 4-5-day GO Train commute now after employers asks to back to office?
My company has officially mandated a return to the office 4 days a week in downtown Toronto. and the GO Train has always been a lifesaver, but now...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=le1O... I really enjoyed this video of this guy's ride from Cleveland to Toronto. Very surprising to see the roads so empty in the US and when you get to Canada, especially as you get to Toronto, it's packed with people, bikes and cars.

Listening to some peers about their teenagers driving and totalling their cars and it's crazy how risk tolerant we are to teens driving😬.
Nearly everyone had a story about their teen crashing/totalling their car. But it was all ok bc the kid was OK and they can drive themselves now 🫥 #fuckcars

This morning I saw 5-6 cyclist stopped with me at the intersection before Greenwood Park. Continuing along Dundas E, there were 15-20 people at Broadview. I've never seen so many commuters before but it makes me so happy to see more people on the bike lane🥳 #biketo
