| 1638291824606601217 | Tuesday mid-afternoon, 3 minute Vancouver Skytrain headways in either direction. Frequent, predictable, reliable, convenient. You never need to run for a train when the next one is just minutes away. That’s what @humantransit means when he says “Frequency Is Freedom.” https://t.co/5p7AZiWfdZ | 110 |
| 1638341869175455744 | Unfortunately microtransit has failed to contain costs and increase riders, even in low density areas with once an hour buses. Ridership drops by half or more and cost per rider quadruples. @humantransit https://t.co/jph2C1M9vn https://t.co/FRbylXRlxS | 13 |
| 1638327324411146242 | @Funkymankevx @BrentToderian @humantransit Trains every 5:40 in Ottawa, I don't look at the schedule. The same with 504/505/506 when I was in Toronto, streetcars that were every 3/4/6 minutes. And even Translink's 410 Richmond route that I often took when it was every 8 minutes. | 2 |
| 1638526188149956611 | @BrentToderian @humantransit SkyTrain has long been a well-thought back bone of Metro's comprehensive transit system. At times it's a tad crowded, but certainly not like the famous Tokyo lines where white-gloved "pushers" helped cram people on board. #transit | 1 |
| 1638300048688594946 | @BrentToderian @humantransit Vancouver had it’s transport system together over 25 years ago, when I lived and worked there for a summer, while an architecture student. In Bristol, UK, they are discussing digging transportation tunnels underground. It’s easier to build it above ground. | 1 |

| 1640182243091173376 | @metrolosangeles @humantransit Would be nice if the bus didn't have to slow down so much prior to deployment of the vaporizing lazers. Hopefully someone smarter than me is working on that. | 20 |
| 1637627029301645313 | Kippa-Ring station is the terminus of the Redcliffe line. Despite the grid street layout, the bus network is comprised mostly of infrequent loop services. Need @humantransit to work his magic. A cut and cover extension of the rail line to Redcliffe would be nice too. #Brisbane https://t.co/NwCjTz9h7j | 6 |
