#Montreal has a new rail transit map!
The thin green line from Deux-Montagnes to Brossard includes the 14 new REM stations added to the network this month.
Note the dotted lines on the east side: the 5-station extension of the métro's Blue Line. The tunnel-boring machine is already at work...

Europe's on it! No pressure, #Canada. (At least Alto High Speed Rail is in the new budget...)
We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.
It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

Here's a public transit model a lot more cities need to know about.
It's the #Karlsruhe Stadtbahn. It runs tram-trains, in this metro region in #Germany of 310,000.
Outside town, they run as standard commuter trains. Inside town, they operate as trams (streetcars)—no need to change mode.
