I’m 15 and can’t drive. Here’s why transit is a key to teen independence
For many teens, public transportation is the difference between independence and being stuck.

In 1909, Guelph had a population of 14,500. That year, its Electric Street Railway carried 750,000 passengers on ten km of track with 14 cars. It also had the “lowest taxes on the continent.” Source - pamphlet, Guelph Museums

A benefit of free buses I hadn’t heard enough about until this piece from @galvinalmanza.bsky.social
It is. Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety. Just look at Boston; Chapel Hill, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; Kansas City, Mo.; and even New York itself, all of which have tried it to excellent effect. And it doesn't have to be costly - in fact, it can come out just about even.
As a lawyer, I feel most strongly about the least-discussed benefit: Eliminating bus fares can clear junk cases out of our court system, lowering the crushing caseloads that prevent our judges, prosecutors and public defenders from focusing their attention where it's most needed.

The most interesting thing about Pierre Poilievre surviving the Conservative Party of Canada leadership review, after losing a staggering poll lead and his own seat and having to be gifted one of the safest seats in Canada, is that he STILL REFUSES to submit to the completely normal security check.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath

Opinion: Why more urban cycling saves everyone money | Urbanized
The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.

Big credit to Mayor Cam Guthrie (@camguthrie.bsky.social) of Guelph, Ontario for using strong mayor powers to reinstate funding for winter clearing of the city’s bike network! Snow clearing is the essential factor, without which people can’t even consider biking in the winter.
