HUGE NEWS! Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland just announced funding for new Bloor-Danforth Line 2 trains 🚇
After so much hard work, transit riders in Toronto get a win 🎉🎉 It's great to see the federal government listening and supporting public transit.

.@ClimateNate of @envirodefence speaking about what it would take to double transit ridership in Canada:
🚌 increase service levels with cost-shared operating funding from provincial and federal governments
🏠 housing near transit
🚌 transit priority lanes
⚡️zero-emission buses

Transit agency chairs and leaders say the funding model is broken.
Mayor Brad West says "transit is as basic to the functioning of our society as utilities, we shouldn't think of funding transit as an act of charity. It's not a "bailout," it's critical to our communities."

BIG CONGRATS to @SFMTA_Muni on the strong transit ridership recovery and reaching 500,000 riders PER DAY. For context, on any give day, more people ride Muni than LIVE in Raleigh, NC. More transit riders = less pollution, less traffic, and more lively city

Of course BUS ONLY LANES allow for emergency use by FDNY, NYPD, EMS & more.
Queens’ Northern Blvd is a perfect example of a well-functioning bus lane for transit and those in need. So is crosstown 14th St in Manhattan. @MTA @StreetsblogNYC @voteshekar @jessicaramosqns @votejgr

Great question for #bcpoli election candidates! "Do you support prioritizing investment in regional rail and bus service over highway expansion?" votebettertransportbc.ca/ #VancouverIsland #yyj

Proud to be part of the groundswell of support for better transit in BC. Check out this clip from @CityNewsVAN featuring our very own @Lucyincanada.
Also, @denisagar in his @MovementYVR shirt (we are envious).

My 401 bus is so full with families and students that patients, doctors, and nurses can’t get onboard when it gets to Richmond Hospital
We can’t afford to let this chronic overcrowding continue
FUND TRANSIT

Movement members are reporting that crowding has come roaring back to the Canada Line. People are getting left behind at stations like King Edward.
The first step to changing this is to call/e-mail your candidates! Here's how:

When I say that transit overcrowding is a serious issue in Vancouver, people sometimes say "Vancouver is special".
But across Canada, I'm hearing from more places where people are left behind by full buses. Halifax. Kelowna. Even Castlegar.

You can drive in #Switzerland, sure. But if you want to get where you’re going on time, take public transport.
I rode the No. 6 trolley bus in #Lucerne, and made my appointment on time. If I’d been in a car, I’d still be waiting.

Whenever I see videos like this I’m reminded just how many people are carried by transit and how inefficient our roads are

If @bcndp wants to win over centrist voters abandoned by Kevin Falcon, @Dave_Eby and @BCNDPCaucus need to announce a serious transit platform for #bcelxn2024 #bcpoli
Transit is something that voters of all stripes can get behind—it reduces traffic while improving affordability
.@MarcLeeYVR: The Greens made the first big splash in the #BCElxn2024 with a promise of free transit. It’s been widely criticized as too costly.
But B.C. needs bold solutions to address city congestion, shrink car dependence and improve affordability. 🚏
