The Vancouver public transit integrity testThe card reader at the front of the bus isn't working. Do you walk to the back door to go out of your way and pay the fare or just sit down?I'm almost surprised how many are honest and still paying, myself included.#transit #vancouver @vancouver

PM Carney announces investment in Via Rail locomotives and rail carspm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releasesAre we going to get the Stadler (Vossloh) EURO assembled in Canada, or a new North America-specific design? I wasn't expecting new locos to be anything other than more Siemens Chargers.#trains #viarail @trains

Did you know Via Rail has a fleet of British Rail Gauge train cars?They obtained them from a failed sleeper service through the Chunnel in the 90s. I rode with them on the Montréal to Halifax rail service called The Ocean. Part of a big rail journey I took this summer across eastern Canada and Europe.@rail #trains #railways #viarail #halifax

Loops vs. PeerTube for video hostHey friends, I'm thinking of starting up an ActivityPub compatible server to host and share my own train videos with the Fediverse, and wondering: Of the two video-oriented softwares, which would be a better fit for my use case and easier to work with? The videos would be between 15 seconds and 10 minutes long.Comparisons, pros and cons, and your experiences working with either would be appreciated. Thanks. @fediverse

Here's why I think Parliament chose to fund the NDP despite no official status...I think it's because the Conservatives and BQ know that a two party-system would become a 1.75-party one in reality, giving the Liberals lasting power at their own expense. The Terrebonne and other byelections make that quite clear. We need a space for Canada's left flank. And an end to FPTP.#cdnpoli #NDP #BlocQuebecois #Canada #Liberal @canadapolitics

I think I found a rough barometer to measure how upbeat or relaxed a major city is.Look at the speed of the information scrolling or changing on next stop displays in your modern subway or other transit vehicle. Changing quickly like #NYC is an upbeat city while slow scrolling like #Vancouver is a relaxed city.Where does your city fit in? #transit #trains #city #Boston #Seattle @citylife

Hey, #Alberta #Union members and stewards.Now would be a good time to start passing around buttons saying something like "We're Ready". You know, for the thing that's on everyone's minds in the labour movement. Just an idea for you to keep the energy going. #Solidarity @workreform

38.1% fewer Canadians returned to Canada by road from the US last month compared to May 2024.By air, 24.2% fewer Canadians came back from the US, whereas from all countries was only a 3.7% decline. So, excluding the US, international trips actually increased (my rough estimate about +3.8%).See the data from this month's StatCan data, "Leading indicator of international arrivals to Canada, May 2025"www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-#CdnPoli #BoycottUSA #Travel #ElbowsUp @boycottus

This shiny locomotive carries commuters in and out of the heart of #Vancouver every weekday. It has 5 inbound trips in the morning and 5 outbound in the evening, past Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge to as far out as Mission, #BritishColumbia. It's quite fast compared to rush hour driving, and the views of the Fraser River are a treat. I just wish it went the non-rush directions at least a couple times a day.
