From 2.4 million rides in 2019 to 8.1 million (projected) in 2025, with a goal of 14 million by 2030.
They plan to add 2,500 regular bikes and another 2,500 e-bikes in that timeframe.
They’re targeting certain station densities too.

We all know that ICE is violating human rights in the U.S.
But did you know a Canadian company is profiting off ICE? And that this same company has been ramping up its lobbying efforts?
Now, in my latest for @thetyee.ca, the government won't tell me if this is a red line for procurement:

If you go to a suburban mall, you will probably have to park outside and walk in. You don’t expect to drive in to your store.
But for some reason in urban areas it’s considered an injustice if you can’t park directly in front of the store you want to go to.

Those studies that say how much congestion "costs" people is so funny because it's an implicit admission that driving a car has no value.

IntegrityTO has faced blowback for its graphic online posts. Is it showing the ‘stark reality’ of Toronto or making local politics toxic?
On Tuesday, IntegrityTO’s Daniel Tate plans to mark the group’s arrival on the political scene with a launch event at the Mod Club, which will be attended by at least two sitting councillors.

Doug Ford handing murderous drivers a lifetime ban on driving is pretty clever when you remember that he is also making roads so unsafe that the murderous drivers have a higher chance of bring killed while walking or cycling.
