Fan of Waterloo's rapid transit project, ION (#wrLRT), but I tweet train, theme park, and bicycling adventures, too. Unabashed gadgetbahn enthusiast. 🏳️‍🌈🐾🇨🇦

Yesterday I drove the 407 ETR from Burlington to Hwy 400 in the morning, and then in reverse in the afternoon. This was the fare. This is not really acceptable

For some reason Paramount/Premier disabled the drifting function on the Italian Job coasters before they opened. Here’s how it worked - a pin at the front, and two shocks at the back. The car body has four rollers at the back in an arc shape. A lash plate disables this.

Rode Line 5 (Eglinton Crosstown) the other day, twice at two different times. Both trips in ATO, and maxed out at 70 km/h consistently between stations. I thought it was supposed to do 80 km/h?

Absolutely fuck everyone with aftermarket headlights that are too bright. I’m not talking about new cars, I’m talking about buddy in the busted up Elantra driving around with flickering shitty cheap Canadian Tire lights blasting 10k+ Lumen Please fill out this survey: tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...

Canadian experience with vehicle headlights and glare at night
Transport Canada wants to learn how headlight glare affects road users and what vehicle or lighting features may influence how people experience it at night.

New Hwy 7 construction in Kitchener has started, but did it really require a swath of clearcut several hundred metres wide? The area has been decimated. newhighway7.ca/wp-content/u...

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire. One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

The assumption in Toronto seems to be that all TTC alerts and signage are only focused on those who live and breathe it daily. This message is so meaningless. Would it kill them to have a map showing a visual of where the closure is?

The new REM branch A4 to Deux Montagnes is an absolute model for how transit should operate. Frequent and fast, it ramps up to 95 km/h steady between virtually every station, holds it the whole time and then rapidly decelerates. It’s not timid and it’s so good. 10/10.

Let's switch tracks here for a bit - since I've been showing you some of the trains I've seen recently in the US, allow me to show you something else also built in North America, however, these are from Canada! 🇨🇦 👀 📸 @brunoxing.bsky.social

It blows my mind anyone wants our population to increase. If anything, I wish things were like 50% less crowded at a bare *minimum*. You can’t go anywhere now without it just being so jammed and busy and loud and I hate it I feel like Canada should have a population around 15-20M max

Hidden away quietly in this document; 6 years later, we’ll finally see the temporary speed restrictions at Traynor removed, allowing full 70 km/h ops (currently 20 km/h) on the hydro corridor #wrLRT

In the Region of Waterloo, a Bombardier FLEXITY Freedom LRV glides into Grand River Hospital station. Note how it cruises smoothly through every intersection, thanks to full Transit Signal Priority. In Waterloo, the LRT doesn’t stop for cars. #wrLRT

Transit Signal Priority on ion Light Rail, Region of Waterloo, Ontario (2019). Trains use a horizontal (stop) or vertical (go) white aspect bar, instead of red or green. The trains follow a wave and do not stop between stations. Toronto planners, please come here! #wrLRT
