I’m tired of the way things are and am actually excited for BYD. They build really great electric vehicles and I saw one video where it charged up just as fact as refueling gasoline would be

        WestCoast is building more Skytrain infrastructure right now, and proposing new buslines. Dedicated bikelane proposals are also out for public review on best options. You just have to live in the parts of Canada that care about health and environment.

          The metro system in montreal is getting worse and worse. The new montreal mayor is not a big fan of bike lane either

            That is unfortunate, there is so much data out there on cities that went with bike lanes and transit and how it had health benefits for everyone (not just the walkers and bikers)

      We’ve got new skytrain lines being built in metro Vancouver right now, as well as public surveys on new busline proposals, and road conversion to dedicated bike lanes.

      Good luck in Ontario though where DF is actively trying to halt health and progress for its residents

      I’m sure most people love dropping their one kid off at soccer and getting their other kid to hockey practice while using the bus

        Montréal has… okay level transit by North American standards. My kids can go over to the arena by themselves once they turn ten, taking the three stops by bus. Until then I’ll just bike with them.

        North America just sucks, not because of distances. But because of shit transit and urban sprawl.

        the fuck ? The kid goes to hokey practice on the train then the other kid goes to soccer practice on the bus while you stay home.
