On a mid-March day when the temperature is minus ridiculous, Actress Edi Patterson describes being a visitor at Winnipeg’s famous closed intersection. Maybe we can sell it as an exotic tourist experience? Link: hot1005fm.com/2022/03/10/734…

Winnipeg is weird. The only time people are allowed in the intersection of Portage and Main is when they win a significant sporting event.

But now I need to tell you about my #PortageandMain experience. It was just after 9:00 pm last Thursday. I am a 40-something 6 foot tall male. When I got to the underpass, I looked behind me to see if I was being followed and then asked myself, Is it safe to go down there?

Auckland, New Zealand, has figured out how to get more people to use transit

Auckland, New Zealand, has figured out how to get more people to use transit

Cities across the world are struggling to tempt people out of their cars and onto transit. Auckland reversed the trend by creating a really, really good bus network for very little money.

Private vehicles creating 40 times more emissions than transit, while transporting only 8 times more people, demonstrates that improving service to increase ridership is much more important than investing in electric busses.

Replying to @brent_bellamy
Winnipeg: 1.4 million car trips per day - 32% of total emissions. 170,000 transit trips per day - 0.8% of total emissions. 8x more car trips than transit trips. 40x more emissions from cars than transit.
