Yesterday, Beijing Subway opened Line 3 Phase 1, Line 12 Phase 1 and the final section of the Changping Line. The Beijing Subway is now over 815km long and is the second longest metro system in the world... (1/3)

I can't believe we're spending $756.8 million per kilometre to tunnel the Yonge North Subway Extension under a 7 lane wide stroad...

today, I am thankful for congestion pricing which will reduce traffic and pollution while funding the MTA’s modernization and expansion

better late than never!

If you think that changing your street from a car parking🚗 into a pleasant space for people🪑🌳🌻 hurts your business, you should really question if you are a good salesman.

The most ambitious regional rail project in NA, what’s sad is that several other cities should already be running this level of service but aren’t, and don’t have integrated fares etc etc

The 2014 demolition of the elevated highway that cut through downtown Rio de Janeiro and separated it from it's waterfront.

The before and after photos are stunning.

[QueensLink @thequeenslink]

This is EXACTLY why we are calling on the @NYCParks @NYCEDC to incorporate space for rail in their Queensway plans. Transit must not be blocked on the Rockaway Branch ROW. They claim it can be added later, but we all know it will be fought.

I-75 in Detroit. What it looks like today vs what the Michigan DOT plans to transform it into using the funds from the “Reconnecting Communities” grant.

I LOVE EXPRESS TRAINS

Last month, the west section of Chongqing Metro Line 18 opened. A 29km long 19 station section that using 6 car Type As trains tho platforms are designed for 7 car trains. The line is mostly underground and costs 170 million INT$/km to build. A little🧵on this interesting line.

I loved when the Transit Explore went global, now you can see the world's largest metro expansion programs (such as Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing or Nanjing) in the comfort of your own home.

I am beyond thankful for all of you. May 2024 be the best year for urban planning and transit advocacy yet ❤️🥰
