This is why frequent transit with dedicated rights of way is so important to encourage people to use transit. The emotional response users have to unreliable transit, slow transit, infrequent transit is the biggest barrier to transit use and support.

JUST IN: Amtrak Cascades service between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., will not resume until late 2022, due to Amtrak staffing shortages.

WSDOT and ODOT have urged Amtrak to restart at least partial service on an interim basis.

@stephen_rees @TransportAction By the way I ought to have stated that the clients for that study were the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, and of course as the rails cross both provincial and international boundaries Transport Canada was involved too. There should still be some public record.

This bus service is a welcome improvement in mobility on Vancouver Island, but a bus is not a substitute for frequent regional rail service. https://t.co/mHiqxV6vC6

It’s been more than 30 years since the last scheduled intercity passenger train passed Craigellachie. Today this historic spot sees only “cruise trains” for well-to-do tourists. Let’s rebuild the proud coast to coast network all Canadians once enjoyed. The planet will thank us!

London Underground… goes USA!
District line commuters may recognise one of their old trains (D78 stock) here. It’s been cleverly rebuilt & parts recycled & upgraded, by @Vivarail. This smart little metro unit is now on demo in Pennsylvania. Via @Clinnick1 https://t.co/PtZ6tXVH2y
