@sbv

As a young person under 35, 3 word slogans from the Conservatives were never going to help me.

I do feel hope for Canada through Mark Carney, because he strikes me as someone who does stuff, rather than just says stuff. Words I like to hear alone won't fix my future. #cdnpoli #carney #elxn45

Sorry in advance folks, I couldn't figure out how to make a Link Post from Mastodon.

Also frightening is Trump's reaction to this on Truth Social, casually referring to himself as king:

"CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

 

Trump administration terminates approval of New York's congestion pricing program

*The MTA said it has filed "papers in federal court" in an effort to keep congestion pricing going*

Calgary C-Train at City Hall/BVC station

Calgary's transit downtown is reasonably decent, even if I would wish for more train lines going more places. They also have decently fast and frequent buses. The roadways are very wide and many one way, so it feels a little more hostile toward biking and walking compared to other Canadian cities.

Calgary C-Train LRT at Saddletowne Station

Visited #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada in April and wanted to check out the state of its public transit system.

My very first thought: Would it kill the people of Calgary to make a <5 km Blue Line extension to #YYC? You got so close, and the land in that area is so open and flat. Plus, there is an unfathomable amount of space for parking.

Rode the newly opened Seattle's LINK LRT Line 2 last month.

Can't wait for the LINK to link with the other LINK next year so that I don't have to bus to Bellvue.
