Here's a starter pack of all the transit rider groups that have popped up so far on BlueSky. Reply if I've missed a group! go.bsky.app/6Pw2jpk

Wonderful

Will Cambridge, Ontario get rapid transit before UBC?

This used to be a highway

This is our "kit of parts" concept for small lot single stair infill. This is the version with shallow attached buildings (no side yard) in the front portion of the lot. "T" massing or "Split" massing with a lane townhouse.

New bus lane separators on Delridge!

I deeply need Lula to win right now

Reminder to VOTE!! Polls are open until 8pm today!! 🗳️🗳️🗳️💖💖💖

Here they are. They’ve generated a wave of hate.

One bungalow in Prince Charles becomes an 8 homes, including 3 bedroom units with over 1,300 sqft, AC, near a park. All for the sum of $1,800. #yeg #yegcc #housing #infill #yimby

The BC version of this is the Cowichan land panic The local version of this is the Metro Vancouver governance panic

Sustainable transit funding is our number one issue this election. Without stable funding, our transit system won't be able to keep the lights on, let alone expand or become more affordable.

This was such a fun episode to record with @jahorne.bsky.social and @denisagar.bsky.social! Unlocked a hidden memory about NUMTOTs, I haven't heard that term in a WHILE... we've all switched to different terms like transit fans/nerds and "foamers" lol

Thank you Dwell Time for having me on the show to nerd out about transit and better cities! 🚶🏾‍♂️🚲🚍🚊🚇 @chanface.bsky.social and @denisagar.bsky.social are fantastic hosts!

Metro broke ground today on the Vermont Bus Rapid Transit project btwn Sunset Blvd in Hollywood & 120th St in South LA 🚌 The project adds 12.4 miles of dedicated bus lanes for faster, more reliable trips (more)

Today in Empty Waymo Blocking a Bus full of people.

Shocking news, protected bike lanes result in more people riding to work share.google/8asAE1wmfyV8...

One small bungalow turns into eight large homes for families. All for under $2,000. If you want more of these housing options, tell Danielle Smith to keep her hands off Edmonton's zoning 👇 www.growtogetheryeg.com/email-council

Is Terminus Longueuil an airport or a bus terminal 😂

“Three out of four disabled people don’t drive. Stop using us as an excuse for car dependency.” — Anna Zivarts @nondriver.bsky.social in collaboration with The Urban Truth Collective. Mobility freedom comes from mobility choices. #UrbanTruth

1 minute walk from the grocery store 2 minute walk from two bus routes, one of which is frequent 12 minutes walk from a SkyTrain station opening next year

This RULES

SkyTrain to Newton, could it be true?! Both the BC NDP and BC Conservatives made big promises this morning for a SkyTrain extension in Surrey. No matter who's in power, we won't have this SkyTrain for at least a decade.

I am so sick and tired of “affordability” being part of mobility conversations when it comes to drivers. Transit is LITERALLY the most affordable way to get around. Transit riders deserve better.

I wouldn’t call Farha a housing advocate, but the concern I have most with this argument is that it assumes her aesthetic preferences (shorter buildings) are desirable and universal enough to impose on everyone else - at high social cost.

In Toronto, more people are killed and injured by vehicles than from violent crimes. Anyone who claims to be a champion of safety, but who isn't advocating for safer roads, is just fear mongering or dog whistling.

🚨 Transit Job Alert 🚨 Nelson\Nygaard is hiring a transit planner in Chicago! Super reputable company that I've worked with on a number of transit projects over the years. Masters & 0-1 yrs experience OR Bachelors & 1-3 yrs $69K-$84K; hybrid work schedule www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/44...

Rivian's CEO predicts that the self-driving future revolves around personally owned cars— not robotaxis. Indeed, surveys show that's what most ppl want. But it would be a disaster for cities/climate b/c personally owned AVs would massively expand car use and sprawl. techcrunch.com/2026/10/19/r...

A service hour freeze is already a cut in real terms as congestion worsens and transit gets slowed down. A straight dollar value freeze (as the BC Cons' platform has proposed by omitting transit funding) immediately triggers fiscal cliff level service cuts.

A huge congratulations to the 22 TRANSIT HERO candidates successfully elected to city councils across the region! + a sincere thank you to every candidate who took the time to sign our pledge and engage with transit riders.

"What does it matter if transit funding stays static? It turns out that without a new transit funding tool, we could end up with devastating transit cuts." Check out Denis' recent op-ed calling on provincial leaders to lay out a clear vision for better transit in BC-> thetyee.ca/Opinion/2...

UNITED CEO Scott Kirby: “.. Wealth inequality has become a danger to our society, .. We should have a national wealth tax ..” @nytimes.com $UAL www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/b...

This piece, which fails to even gesture at the possibility that high cost European cities might have a shortage of housing, is inadvertently in object lesson in why the global housing crisis is hitting Europe so hard www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Not today, Satan.

Whoa! I'm sure I saw this when I was a kid but definitely didn't remember it!!

“For the young to afford more housing, the older households have to downsize and lose,” Ndiaye said.

here's a prime example in scarborough centre of a high-polling candidate, ganesh uthish, who has a progressive-coded platform (better tenant protections, youth supports, food programs, etc). but anti-bus lane. many suburban candidates view transit users as an expendable constituency against drivers
