LdnOnt Transit Riders

London Transit Riders Alliance: strengthening the voice of transit users in London.

[Jarrett Walker @humantransit]

Uber would like to remind you that their business model relies on increasing congestion and emissions, by shifting people from public transit to private cars.

[London Bicycle Café @LdnOntBikeCafe]

No safe bike routes. Still have to pay for transit. Drivers get a free ride.

[London Transit @LTCLdnOnt]

It takes a team to keep our system moving safely and we are so proud of ours.

Please help us say thanks to your London Transit Team on March 18th for Transit Appreciation Day by completing a virtual thank you card: https://t.co/JGftaN1mwk #ThanksTransit #LdnOnt

Hello #ldnont.
Let's design our growth so we don't *need* a car (have one if you want but designing to *need* one is the problem).

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Think public transit “doesn’t work” as an alternative to cars where you live? If that’s true, it wasn’t unavoidable — it’s because of the choices your city made. Land-use, funding, infrastructure & operational decisions. If you get fundamentals like frequency wrong, it fails.

Observation: all the good modes of travel start with the letter B. Bike (obviously). Bus. Boat. Bahn.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Today’s question, & this might be a tough one — what specific street(s) in what specific city has played the biggest role EVER in your public, social and economic life? What is it about that street in particular that gave it that kind of special role & status in your public life?

Riders: when will you be back to regularly using the bus? #LdnOnt #publictransit

Post-covid plans underway at @LTCLdnOnt: "We looked at our service plan and we tied it to our pandemic response plan. The third piece of that pandemic response is rebuilding — both the riders we lost and maybe attracting new riders.” #LdnOnt

This account was started 8 years ago. When we set the date of our Inaugural AGM, we thought tomorrow was the anniversary. We hope you'll join us tomorrow even though we were wrong! https://t.co/5rupHpgtLx #LdnOnt

When a passionate & visionary chief planner of a city steps down, it’s a very big deal. Chief Planner John Fleming in London, Ontario is stepping down. @jmfplan is one of my oldest & best friends in the profession, & an EXCEPTIONAL city planner. HUGE loss. https://t.co/9DLSYf74Sq
