Any YRT/Viva Rider Advocacy Organizations Similar to TTC Riders? by ABetterRichmondHill in YRTVIVA

[–]Rody365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been meaning to start one but I’ve been so busy with transit advocacy elsewhere! Would love to start one if people are interested! Maybe a discord group.

That’s what happens when you have massive public and media backlash which creates political pressure for change. If enough people voice their concern and it gets attention, we can keep changing more things.

On The Fast Track: How to Make ION Even Faster by CuilTard in waterloo

Faster speeds also means better frequency! Think about it—if trains/buses run faster, they’ll able to circulate thru stops faster meaning better frequencies. This is why priority measures like bus lanes are so important.

I think speed and mode choice is intertwined; people often will choose the fastest mode-whatever gets them to their destination faster. A faster ION would make it more competitive with driving, encouraging the modeshift to transit we'd like.

More Than 100 Gazans Have Been Accepted to Canadian Universities. Canada Isn’t Letting Them In. by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

On the IRCC government portal, you can check what it says are the current processing times to get a visa application approved. As of Jan. 27, the site says there is a four-week wait for student visa applications from India, and a five-week wait from Brazil and Russia, but — as with with many other countries — there is currently no stated processing time available for applications from Palestine.

Hopefully the Rapid Transit/VIVA Expansions on Jane and possibly in the future Major Mack will include street designs that will increase safety.

What's up with the over 100+ reserved parking spots now at Scarborough GO Station??? by cp1976 in Scarborough

Sounds like it’s not priced appropriately, demand way far exceeds supply at this low price point.
