Would you rather teleport or not? PSU alum @singletonpa presenting on teleportation preferences. Walkers and bikers say no thanks. Everyone else: sure. #TRBAM

"First thing a city needs in order to function well is transportation. If transportation is good & inexpensive for people to use, that's the basis of the city."—Marcelo Ebrard, who introduced Metrobús (& Metro Line 12, bikeshare) to #CDMX as mayor (2006-12) quoted by @PacoGoldman

A bird's eye view of a dedicated bus lane in action. We're moving nearly 70 buses an hour through the Flower Street bus lane each evening!

History and in-depth analysis of a problem very close to us. Having had a very unpleasant experience walking alongside the Camillien Houde, I hope it can be closed to private cars one day. https://t.co/AgahAEkgsf #TransportGeogMcGill

Following the same point that I posted a while ago (highways that deserve to die), this article is also amazing, and it is from an auto enthusiast website! (honest p.s. I first saw this on numtot) https://t.co/VwuvX9lkne #TransportGeogMcGill

Only very recently did I realize that Caracas actually has a decent sized metro system. However, the political situation and the blackouts stopped it from working. I wonder what are the roles of transit amid the crisis in Venezuela. https://t.co/I8Sg8zzu1T #TransportGeogMcGill

@janeobd I would love the positive impacts if this could be true, but is there any effective way to carry out daily maintenance work? Assuming that potential technical difficulties could be solved, and as long as workers are treated right, this would be truly amazing. #TransportGeogMcGill

This article envisions a certain (very capitalistic, may I say) future of transportation. What do you agree or disagree about it? What does this kind of thinking imply? https://t.co/EiN2y59MjT #TransportGeogMcGill

[yue @yl_dai_]

@simone93066217 Yes I agree, but in this specific case it seems that there is just repercussion for “driving polluting cars”, not repercussion for driving in general. It is a very encouraging first step though. #TransportGeogMcGill

[yue @yl_dai_]

While "polluters pay" is certainly reflected in this policy, I couldn't help but to doubt whether it will decrease car ownership and car usage (aside from the unequal impact on low income drivers) https://t.co/ihSlL0gUCA #TransportGeogMcGill

@YUCHENXIE5 @MailOnline This is not good. I wonder if anyone has done a similar calculation for North America..? It would be really interesting to see a global comparison. #TransportGeogMcGill

[yue @yl_dai_]

I’ve been wondering your opinion on metro expansion in Montreal! How would you rank possible projects (pink line, blue line east extension, connecting the orange into a loop, yellow line south extension, etc) in terms of priority? Which is best for equity? #TransportGeogMcgill

[yue @yl_dai_]

What do you think? Should handling OD's be a new responsibility of transit employees? https://t.co/MCPizrl23n #TransportGeogMcgill

Never heard of this "Freeways without futures" project before but I think it is amazing! https://t.co/Uwt2eWfTg4 #TransportGeogMcGill

[yue @yl_dai_]

What do you think about this "innovative highway?" Although the design is better than a conventional highway, I don't think it will actually reduce congestion and pollution, and instead it will create more problems for the city. https://t.co/6cTzOXtfoz #TransportGeogMcGill

Great academic article if you are interested in any one of the three cities compared: Chicago, Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo https://t.co/YeMm6sj4fx #TransportGeogMcGill

The mental health of metro and train conductors is an issue that probably needs more attention. I never really saw discussion of such in press (?) but it is brought up by this old documentary #TransportGeogMcGill https://t.co/MPTmr6DFka
