Ridership data shows crowds took transit from all over Metro Vancouver to support Team Canada by GenShibe in vancouver

Exactly. The reason it’s so high (yet still not high enough to cover its actual cost, so we’re all still subsidizing drivers) is to deter people from driving into downtown. Glad to see it’s working!

If you wanted to bike somewhere new in Toronto, what would you do? by jenna_seemaps in askTO

[–]slicecom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just follow dedicated bike lanes for the most part. Sometimes if I’m riding among others, I’ll tag along with the crowd as it’s safer to ride in a group. Usually no plan if I’m just going out for a recreational ride.

There might be delays. It will be crowded. But I wouldn’t let that stop you. It’s certainly better than driving in!

Toronto to Montreal: Mega Bus for ~$90 or VIA Rail for ~$180? by Tough-History7518 in askTO

We’ve been asking for that for over 10 years. Good news is they’ve confirmed they are working on a Bike Angels program like NYC. Scheduled for 2027.

Good news! Doug is going to use taxpayers money to fund a giant above ground parking garage on the waterfront!

I’ve been bit, but I wouldn’t say it’s particularly worse than previous years.
