Welcome to this newly created space on the World Wide Web.
My intent is to devote this modest portion of the electronic ether to ideas on improving transit and general mobility in this metropolis. There are a number of sites which purport to fufill the same purpose. However, in my experience, these are more poorly-camouflaged, politcally-aligned blogs than true rider/citizen-oriented spaces.
I became interested in this subject over the last few years. Toronto is my adopted home. I've lived in many cities in Canada, the US and Britain. Only in Toronto have I encountered the severe politicization of transit and transportation - and only here have I seen a city with such a crisis.
Over the last few months, I've done some independent research and analysis. What I've found has left me:
1. Deeply worried about the direction of transit - the TTC in particular.
2. Firmly convinced that the causes and solutions lie mainly with us - and less with higher levels of government.
I hope you enjoy the posts that follow. I'll welcome and address all well-intended comments.
