Edmonton's 4-year budget will be decided this year, and we want to make sure that City Council knows transit is important to Edmontonians. Go to engaged.edmonton.ca/budget to fill out the budget survey and attend an in-person budget engagement session in your ward throughout April

2027-2030 Budget Engagement

The City will share the recommended budget this fall, and Council will debate and decide on the budget in December.

Episode 4 - What can we learn from SEPTA and Philly? (with Justin Roczniak)
March 23, 2026

In 2025, both Metro Vancouver and Philadelphia faced tremendous budget cuts only to have them cancelled at the last minute through the age-old method of kicking the can down the road.

We're joined by Justin Roczniak, one of the hosts of Well There's Your Problem podcast where we discuss not only the budget troubles transit agencies face, but calamities such as trolley poles that have no business being used in places they don't belong or the current state of affairs with the bus manufacturing industry in North America.

Episode 3 - Talking Mexico, Halifax, and Eglinton
Crosstown (with August)
February 27, 2026

While a Canadian did not make it on a round trip from Earth to the Moon just yet, the Eglinton Crosstown or simply "Line 5" did in fact finally open! Joined by August from TTC Riders, we discuss our first impressions and how monumental this is for the Greater Toronto Area.

Denis talks about his time travelling across warm and sunny Mexico while Rodney speaks about his simultaneous visit to Halifax, which admittedly was nowhere near as warm.

This would shorten @dwelltime.ca!! They could also start opening before the train is fully stopped like they do in Montreal.

I've been thinking about how to modify the at-grade portion of the #EglintonLRT so that the experience & operations are more like the underground portion. I've put some words and drawings together & I'm happy to hear your thoughts! #TOpoli #Transit #TTC kevinrupasinghe.substack.com/p/improving-...

Improving the Eglinton LRT - Fewer Intersections

An ongoing question we'll need to answer: How do we modify the at-grade portion of the Eglinton LRT so that the experience and operations are more like the underground portion?

after listening to this one, I'm thoroughly convinced we've got to build that School of Transit 🥰 the question of course, is whether it should be in vancouver or toronto...

🧵 (1/4) On Transit Equity Day I want to make sure we're telling a fuller story of the fight for justice and better transit. 100 years before Rosa Parks, there was Elizabeth Jennings Graham and months before Rosa, there was Claudette Colvin.

This podcast from @chanface.bsky.social and @denisagar.bsky.social is one to watch in the Canadian urbanism/transit scene. There aren't many that focus on these issues from a national perspective, so don't *lowers sunglasses* dwell for too much time before you listen
