Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table.

For 25 years, the Dutch have extended their railways’ reach through (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes.

The result? A doubling of train ridership.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

The trains in the Netherlands are 100% #windpowered. Over 5,500 trips a day 100% #renewable.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Another important piece of news for Alto: the High-Speed Rail Network project has been identified by the Government of Canada as a transformative project that will benefit from accelerating measures, allowing an earlier start of construction. 

This recognition reflects a strong commitment to carrying out a project that will bring lasting benefits to the Canadian population, both today and for generations to come. As well, this milestone confirms Alto’s strategic importance and unlocks new opportunities to move forward efficiently—without compromising on transparency, consultation, or environmental responsibilities. 

Alto is gaining speed (again)—and we’re proud to be working towards a future that moves Canada forward.🚆

Une autre nouvelle importante pour Alto : le projet de réseau de trains à grande vitesse a été identifié par le gouvernement du Canada comme un projet transformateur qui bénéficiera de mesures d’accélération, permettant de commencer la construction plus tôt. 

Cette reconnaissance témoigne d'un engagement ferme à réaliser rapidement un projet qui apportera des avantages durables à la population canadienne, aujourd'hui et pour les générations à venir. Ce jalon confirme aussi l’importance stratégique d’Alto et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour aller de l’avant efficacement, sans compromettre la transparence, la consultation ou les responsabilités environnementales. 

Alto gagne (encore) en vitesse, et nous sommes fiers de bâtir ensemble un avenir qui fera progresser le Canada. 🚆

The Acela-bration has begun.

Just one more day until you can experience the all-new NextGen Acela — with expanded seating, more departures, and a premium travel experience from start to finish.

Share this if you’re just as excited as we are. 🚄

Trains are the only high-speed, high-volume transportation method that can have a net-zero carbon output, so what makes them so much more efficient than other transportation methods?

The Czech Republic has the advisory support of the European Investment Bank for its potential rail projects.

The EIB will help the country with planning and procurement for multiple rail lines, including a TEN-T high-speed line from Brno and Ostrava.

Later this year, OnXpress Transportation Partners, the company going deliver GO Expansion, was supposed to take over operations and maintenance of the GO Transit Rail Network from Alstom Transport Canada.

This has been cancelled

Alstom will continue in their role going forward.
