REM's longest branch opening today is probably the most significant transit event of the year in Canada. I'm happy to see our PM acknowledging that it is an automated LIGHT METRO system (media continue to use the term "light rail")! As a Vancouverite, it's a familiar type of system 😉✌️
The REM is essential infrastructure — an automated light metro system across Greater Montréal that will connect more and more of the city as it grows.
Great cities have great public transit, and that’s what we’re investing to build more of across Canada in Budget 2025.

No Alstom Mark Vs for Malaysia? 🇲🇾
China's CRRC is set to win a bid for new trains on the Kelana Jaya Line—SkyTrain's twin!
Meaning that for the first time in history, a different manufacturer's trains will run alongside Bombardier-built LIM trains on the same line 👀

Went up to Finch Avenue, a long fear I have had is that the new light rail would be slower than the buses it replaced, and it seems like that may well be the case.
So many decision makers in Toronto are drivers that they don’t realize that people might take public transit because it’s fast

Not good: Valley Line LRT in #Edmonton is not even seeing 10,000 riders per day. After 2 years, it has completely failed to meet ridership targets.
Adding to a string of LRT failures across Canada. Is this really what we'd want in #SurreyBC? #surreypoli #bcpoli

Edmonton Valley Line LRT ridership falls far short of estimates - SkyTrain for Surrey, not LRT!
Despite recent cost increases, the SLS remains Canada's best value transit project, costing less per-kilometre than many surface LRT proposals.

I've put together a wider scale map covering the inner suburbs.
One of the things immediately evident is the weakness of the Millennium Line compared to the other lines, with its route on a wide suburban boulevard and paralleling a major freeway as well as the forced transfer travel time impact

STATEMENT: 37,000 #SFU students and faculty let down as #TransLink investment plan fails to include the #SFUGondola project. 3 more years of delay for a project that is needed NOW would be unacceptable.

TransLink is about to open Capstan Way Station in #RichmondBC, the first new SkyTrain station in the region in 8 years! 🚇🚇🚇
I can't wait for the next 8 stations to open on the #buildSLS in Surrey and Langley!

The Burnaby Mountain Gondola is the highest rapid transit priority in #TransLink investment plan going to @mayorscouncil.bsky.social tomorrow. If it could be approved, we would finally get #SFUGondola by 2028!
Students have waited far too long for this! #GiveStudentsALift #SFU #BurnabyBC #bcpoli

It's not winter until we see "The March of the Students" up Burnaby Mountain, when the buses fail.
