one thing I've enjoyed doing on the STO map (and part of the reason it's taking so long) is lovingly stenciling in every single street to fill in the empty space while trying to maintain readability. I think it produced something really really pretty <3

OC Transpo is discussing potentially cutting off-peak Line 2 and 4 service to as low as every 30 minutes in response to council asking Line 2 and 4 to start at 5 AM.
Let your councilor know so we can avoid a repeat of last year’s Line 1 cuts and not fall down the public transit death spiral.

In Shanghai, “a new crowd-sourced transit platform allows riders to propose, vote on, and activate new bus lines in as little as three days”. (via @cityofsound.bsky.social) [sixthtone.com]

People will come within a foot of crumpling your body with their two ton death machine and then give you a lil wave like "ohhh haha. didn't see you there lil buddy !! my bad !!" as if that's anywhere near a proportional reaction.

immediately after I exited the metro a man asked me for a smoke and while I was handing it to him he said "t'es tres sexy" so I walked away without lighting it for him. Montreal is truly a magical place

Hey @oc-transpohelps.bsky.social now that there's 2 frequent buses stopping at Laurier/Waller as well as 2 separate intercity bus agencies, do you think maybe you could remove the locks on the perfectly good bus shelters from the original Laurier station? It's ridiculous that they're here & locked.
