I took a train from Paris to Frankfurt that travelled at about 300km / hr. It was great.

Wouldn't it be great to have a rapid bus transit corridor running east-west, but south of the the LRT?

Always sad to hear people say that they "had no choice but to buy a car" - it's an expensive option.

Always worth remembering that good transit SAVES us money.

In the spring, we ran a Para Transpo challenge asking city councillors to take a ride on Para with an Ambassador. One key demand was installing the Presto readers in an accessible place. Kudos to all who worked so hard, but it's happening!!!!

Transit is an essential service. You know what happens when people are forced to commute, but transit isn't good? TRAFFIC.

The #12 bus should come every 15 minutes at rush hour so WHY is there a gap of almost an hour? I mean, yay - they reported that many buses were cancelled, but again why? This is a critical bus that serves Vanier.

Ottawa can't keep blaming COVID for decline in ridership. It was getting bad in 2019. We're in a death spiral now as cuts make transit worse so people avoid transit so the city cuts more service ... We need to reverse the cuts and FUND transit.
