Is this the bus equivalent of "you can just bike on side streets?" 😂

Yuppers!

This also completely ignores the fact that eventually you need to stop driving...which means you'll need to be able to walk and take the bus.

I've done that trip!
It was bonkers long.
I did it so long ago I brought rented videos and a mini DVD player. We watched a lot of bad tv. 😂

When I lived in MTL a girl I knew fly to London for the weekend. When I said that's far she said "it's 6hrs. Doesn't it take you 6hrs to get home to see your family?"

The weather changed quite a bit out there today... 😂

Add "shards of freezing rain in my face and 40kms gusts of wind" to that list. 😂

I love running.
I love it when I hate it.
I love it when my lungs seem to forget it.
I love it when it snows, rains, when the tulips bloom, the sun rises, it's so hot I want to pass out...
I adore riding bikes but nothing is as good as running. I don't know why...it just...isn't.

You're forgetting the whole Love the Suffering part, friend.
That is running. 😂

Most BRT plans I see include at least 4 lanes for drivers (sometimes more)... largely no road diet to make it more appealing to take the bus. (Not to mention the hostile environment of then waiting outside for the bus with so much pavement).
Far too many carrots. Not enough sticks...

Here's just 2019 and 2024 side by side.

There were no speed cameras in 2019.
