Exciting news! REM have just announced that the Duex-Montanges branch of the system will open on November 17.
That’s 14 new stations, with 3 connection points to Montreal’s metro system, and the return of rail transit to North Montreal who lost their EXO train for this project in 2020.

Oh I hate it. So many possibilities enough time to figure it out (I played a *tiny* part in 2021!) and yet this is what they settled on?

First Via Rail trip in a few months that was on time and with an hour to go, someone in a pick up truck drove into the side of the train at a level crossing 😬
Sounds like everyone is okay but I imagine we’ll be here for quite some time while police investigate.

Buying a Cybertruck is crazy at the best of times, but assuming they would be suitable for a Montréal winter is just complete foolishness.
The little Honda screaming past is the icing on the cake.

Rumour is that the City Rail Link tunnels have been handed over to KiwiRail and the first test will be tonight, now that the underground section has been energized.
Can’t wait to see images of trains finally rolling down these tracks. An exciting step for the project!

Being a transit nerd means spotting the ex GO bus fleet when you in Miami. Still has some of its bilingual signage on the sides!

Knew this news would eventually come but it still sucks to see.
Planning and Policy? Sure give it back to Auckland Council. But removing AT is the road authority is a big mistake. The only way AT has made decent progress is because of that. Expect less impartial progress when it comes to roads.

I’m absolutely obsessed with Bermuda’s tiny buses which serve a very impressive network across the island. They are the perfect size for capacity and frequency, as well as their narrow roads. Comfortable and zero emissions too!

Forever in awe with how well connected Toronto Union Station is. I arrived from Montreal on my Via Rail train, and 3 minutes later I’m on Line 1 headed home.
