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.

If the driver of this Japanese bus loses consciousness, any passenger can stop the bus with an emergency brake.

Platform screen doors and neat line ups to get on the commuter train. Step-free access of course. #korail #transit #publictransport #seoul #korea

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

Gorgeous street furniture by mmcité in Budapest. Mmcité makes beautiful things and hails from lovely Uherské Hradiště in Zlín Region Czechia.

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.

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

I want streets like that and I don’t want to hear anything about parking or snow removal.

Trash or treasure?
