All I want is a mayor and council that sees transit as a public service that benefits everyone. #FreeTransit

ottawacitizen.com/opinion/oc-t... Under funding public transit has led to this crisis now the city has to deal with it… a reduction in passes seems a small price to pay for some Goodwill from loyal riders

Shoutout to @stephanieplante.bsky.social for speaking out on unfair transit reliability issues downtown. Thank you for stating your commitment to bus-only lanes and transit priority signals. Let’s speed up the 6, 7 and more urban routes! cc: @arieltroster.com @shawnmenard.bsky.social
Troy Charter Interim General Manager of OC Transpo Friday, January 30, 2026 Bus cancellations unfairly impacting downtown core and equity-seeking residents Mr. Charter, I don't need to explain to you the issues facing OC Transpo at the moment, and the impacts that these issues are having on the whole city. I know that you are well aware of these problems, and I have appreciated your transparency and knowledge when talking to the media. I am writing to state more specifically that the cancellations and lack of reliable service has been impacting residents of Ward 12 more than others. During the first few weeks of January, residents have suffered through some of the worst transit service in recent months. While heavy snowfall has been a complicating factor, it is also more reason that we need reliable transit service, so that residents are not left waiting outside in the cold. As you noted in your statement to CBC, cancellations and delays impact downtown urban routes disproportionately. Among the most impacted routes, the 6, 7, and 12 all go through Ward 12. I have been advocating for more bus-only lanes and transit priority signals across the city. Allowing buses to move first through traffic and intersections will address the domino effect that happens when, for example, traffic on Bank Street causes the route 6 or 7 to be late arriving in Ward 12. I introduced a motion to this effect at the budget meeting of City Council. I look forward to working with you on this. People who live in Ward 12 are overwhelmingly renters, low-income, students and shift workers. Most do not own a car. These are equity-seeking groups that do not have another option for getting around the city, especially in winter. Unreliable service makes life much harder for these people who already get by with very little. I will be submitting an inquiry at the next Transit Commission on February 12 asking staff to look into how these cancellations and delays affect equity-seeking groups, though I a…

Illegal bike lane obstructions and the significant delays to complete streets projects jeopardize our public safety and climate goals. Evanstonians are sending a clear message: we need high quality, concrete protected bike infrastructure for our busiest roads, and it needs to be a priority!

#urbanism Interesting that a book celebrating the impromptu aspects of a city isn't titled "Spontaneous City" or "Serendipitous City" but, rather, "Messy City", as if it is likewise meant to normalize and celebrate urban decline.

“How do you plan and design a city that is safe and functional while also leaving room for spontaneity and serendipity?” www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I'm looking at how local media covers cycling (bike lanes/infra/proposals etc). I've got a few to start, and I'll do deeper dives, but I'd be grateful if you could flag links to local media articles (+ve/-ve, op-ed) covering cycling schemes that have caught your attention. Anywhere. #bikesky

Also, I think we are lucky so few people drive in the dedicated bus lanes now with no enforcement... image what will happen when people stat seeing other people routinely driving in it.. then our bus lanes will be no more.

Can they also put buses in those lanes? I don’t think I have what it takes to coordinate a carpool. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

The administration plans to stop large cities receiving federal funds from providing free bus transit. That would hit programs across the US + pose a setback to a signature pledge by #NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani. One might *almost* think the GOP is contemptuous of working-class public transit users.
DOT wants to prohibit free buses. That could be a problem for Mamdani in NYC.

Premier says ‘we’re working on changes’ The NSW government has faced scrutiny about their response to the increase in ebikes and motorcycles on the road in recent months. Last month, an estimated 60 young ebike riders rolled over the green of a north Sydney golf course, reflecting a broader trend of people meeting up for mass “rideouts”. The NSW premier, Chris Minns, on Wednesday acknowledged the incident on Sydney Harbour Bridge and said “we’re working on changes, we’ll have more to say soon”.

Fare-free public transit offers social, economic, operational, and environmental benefits to communities. This decision should be left to public transit authorities, not imposed from above.
