Wayfinding at Union Station is slowly improving but it could differentiate step-free from staircase access. If you can’t use stairs, good luck finding the entrance to the subway. And no, looking it up online or asking someone should not be needed. @ttcriders.bsky.social

Great first step by the TTC and the City of Toronto to mark streetcar boarding areas with paint, but remains the problem of ramp deployment. Kraków’s solution is more effective in both regards: it forces cars to slow down and provides level boarding.

What if streetcars were as good as subways? Take a look at this trip in Budapest. The tram - the longest in the world at 56m (183 ft) comes every 2 minutes, and takes one minute less than the subway even though the origin and destination are the same. @ttcriders.bsky.social #topoli #onpoli

In 1967, Sweden changed the direction of traffic from left (like in the UK) to right (like in Continental Europe). To this day, I am fascinated by the fact that commuters at Stockholm Central Station are still walking on the left.

Would it be too much to ask to use the context on a page to show me the keyboard for the right language, #Apple? If an entire page is in German, I don’t need the French keyboard, even if I was writing in French in another app. #youhaveonejob

On this Kraków street, the tram in the opposite direction circulates in mixed traffic, against the curb. On the right, the centre lane is reserved for streetcars. The general traffic lane is elevated to the level of the sidewalk to slow down cars and provide level boarding. @ttcriders.bsky.social

Let's be a little serious and start moving people, not just cars.
Trains with hundreds of riders shouldn't get stuck waiting at red lights for a few left-turning drivers. Transit Signal Priority is just common sense!
Send a message to City Council: transit riders on the $2 billion-dollar Finch West LRT should get priority over drivers!
