Dozens of #buses left the #Toronto area early Monday destined for a national rally on #ParliamentHill to show support for #Israel in its war with #Hamas & denounce a wave of #antisemitism in #Canada.

But some of the would-be participants were sidelined when 17 buses failed to show up to take people to #Ottawa, according to a statement from the #UJAFederation of Greater Toronto.

Could a school bus help keep the small town of Muttaburra alive? These residents think so

Reminder that battery powered buses are basically unusable in the real world. It is not an exaggeration to say that this concept has already been debunked. If you must have electric buses, it should be powered by overhead powerlines. If not, then you will have to buy something like hydrogen buses instead.

So Reece (@RM_Transit) in his latest video said Sydney's buses weren't as important as a Canadian city. So I felt compelled to do some Analytics -- I have a problem!

Sydney's buses are essential and competitive and move over 800,000 passengers per day. Although, the Average Daily Patronage per Month is still down on long term peak -- which is partly behaviour change and partly economic.

Good morning fellow Mastodon users, today I'm attempting something highly risky and may not pay off, to go to London from the home counties using nothing but buses and a national express coach to patch things up.

A bus stop in Penang, Malaysia, shaped like a street car / tram, Chowrasta Market.

Interestingly, Chowrasta is also the name of a public square in Darjeeling, West Bengal. For many years during colonial rule, Penang and Calcutta had strong ties as the most important administrative centres of the British empire in the east. So there's a lot of influence between both places.

I grew up riding public #buses in San Antonio, in an area that saw hourly bus service and now only does on-demand. My first bit of advocacy was when I was in 9th or 10th grade, asking VIA to change the bus schedule so the bus didn't come 5 minutes before the end of school.

I loved buses, I just hated waiting for buses.

Anyway, I've signed some paperwork so that it's probably official enough...I start as Senior Product Manager of the #MBTA bus dispatching app, Skate, in a month. 🥳​:mbta_bus2:​

There has been a very significant increase in the number of people cycling to work in Ireland. In fact, the numbers have recovered to the levels from 1986. There has also been an 88% increase in primary school children cycling to school from 2016. And despite a lot of people working from home, bus use has also increased.

If you're in NYC on June 10, be sure to stop by the Emily Warren Roebling Plaza in Brooklyn Bridge Park to get a free ride in one of the vintage buses from the last 90 years of transit history.

Present & Correct shared some papercraft vehicles from London that were printed in the 1960s. The bus and mail van are particularly attractive.

It's years ago now, probably the 1980s, but I remember when the bus fares in Sheffield were super cheap compared with everywhere else - like e.g. 2p when most cities had it more like 50p or 60p.

I remember visiting there and marvelling about it!

"Will the €600m Bus Connects Cork plan deliver us from gridlock, with its 129km of new bus and bike lanes along 12 strategic transport corridors?
"Unlikely, but it could be a big step in the right direction. As the plan has not yet reached its second round of public consultation, it is still a long way off and the city cannot afford to wait." https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/commentanalysis/arid-41047103.html #Cork #Buses #CyclingInfrastructure

Great coverage from 853 on @sianberry’s report on better ways to use the Silvertown Tunnel which I helped research. https://853.london/2022/12/20/revive-old-greenwich-tram-plan-for-silvertown-tunnel-mayor-urged/

Cycling past the worksite for a year doesn’t half give you a new appreciation of the opportunity cost of not considering some alternatives, even now! #London #publictransport #climate #cycling #urbanism #greenwich #newham #buses #tfl #infrastructure
