The last three years have presented significant changes to operation of transit systems. Significant shifts in demand patterns. In some areas, busier buses than ever before. Budget pressures.

A deep dive into @MiWayHelps, #Mississauga's transit system. #misspoli #transit
In this first of two threads, we will take a overall look at MiWay comparing 2022 demand vs 2019, current service levels, how demand patterns shifted and the importance of informed budget and policy decisions. In a second thread, we will look deeper at individual MiWay routes.
The analysis is based on Automated Passenger Counter (APC) data obtained from MiWay. In the several times I have requested this data staff have always provided the data requested (and sometimes more) in a useable way at a reasonable cost which is appreciated.
📢¡Informe publicado! Las leyes trans y el “modelo afirmativo” en España. Análisis descriptivo de su impacto sobre la salud de personas adultas y menores. ¡Hilo va! (1/30)

Desde 2014 se han aprobado 40 textos autonómicos en forma de leyes trans y LGTBI, protocolos educativos y protocolos sanitarios trans que validan el modelo afirmativo de atención a las personas que rechazan su cuerpo sexuado y desean pertenecer al otro sexo.
Nuestra motivación y preocupación:
1)El avance de la ideología transgenerista y la prisa del gobierno por llevar a su aprobación una ley trans estatal.
2)La ausencia de datos que nos permitieran conocer el alcance del fenómeno “trans” en la población.

Who rides #bicycles to work in #SanDiego?
Census data for @CityofSanDiego shows
- Only 0.6% of people commute on bikes to work
- 2X more men bike to work vs women (.4% v .2%)
- Women are:
- less likely to carpool but
- less likely to drive alone 25%/34%- maybe children in car?

This shows:
- #SanDiego is investing a lot in #bikelanes that are used by a very small % of the population for work-related mobility
- There is a bike #gendergap that needs to be studied
- Ridership could potentially be increased by 33% by simply encouraging more women to ride

Is a lack of #gender #equity in #bicycling planning & decision making contributing to fewer women riding bikes as a commute option?
It is seen in @sdbikecoalition paid staff (1 woman/5 total staff)
-Good news: Their Board has more equity in terms of gender & racial diversity

I was recently in Switzerland, mostly around Berne. Since there are municipal elections in #Ontario, I thought that it would be nice to talk more about quality of life beyond lower taxes. #onpoli #topoli 1/14

Taking the #Cowichan Valley Commuter to #Victoria & back is going to cost you $20 a day.
It only runs in the early morning & evening. It runs 1.5 hours before school starts - no good for parents.

Viele Präfixe bedeuten keineswegs viel Traffic. Im Gegenteil: 80% des Traffics eines typischen Eyeball Providers kommen von nur so ca. 10 ASN. Also 10 Quellen.
In westlichen Ländern sind das u.a. Apple, Facebook, Netflix, Akamai, Microsoft, Google und noch so zwei drei.

Das gilt grundsätzlich auch für russische Provider, auch wenn dort die Hauptquellen des Traffics andere sind, zB. Vkontakte statt Facebook.
Diese Quellen beliefern Traffic von relativ wenig IP Adressen oder Präfixen. Also im Schema nicht dargestellt oder nur mit dünnen Strichen.

The 3-day finale of #yyccc 2017-2021 was lit!!! It’s hard to believe the writers were able to get so many great things resolved. Also, so many cool things have been set up for the next show: 2021-2025 (which will start filming on Oct 18). Here’s my recap of the highlights: 1/24
The finale opened w emotion: 1) #yyc-based members of the #TokyoOlympics/#TokyoParalympics #teamcanada were honored. 2) tributes to the retiring members of #yyccc, @DruhFarrell @EWoolleyWard8 @ChahalGeorge @Ward4Ward1 @CouncillorKeats & @nenshi, induced tears & good vibes. 2/24
After almost exactly 4yrs of work initiated by my learning about #BenefitDrivenProcurement @FCSSAAoffice’s AGM right after the 2017 #yycvote, getting an NoM passed by #yyccc, & development shepherded by @momentumcalgary’s @HareCourtney, we’ve approved a great policy!!! 3/24

Let's have a mini-thread before council and talk about how I came up with the bus lines for my Sustainable Seattle Transit Map. #Seattle #transit #GreenNewDeal
So when I got to the point of having laid out the majority of the light rail stops (focusing on having all of Seattle within a mile of a stop), with pushing to get every part of the city within a half mile of frequent transit, I knew it would take too much time and money...

...to do that with light rail alone. In addition, we have arguably the best bus system in the US, and with that amount of existing infrastructure I thought: why not just upgrade some existing routes to be super frequent?

A thought on #NYC: the city isn’t dying, but it has problems: the cost of living is too high, #incomeinequality is rampant, and the city’s blood runs through its #transit system. Some things to consider:
(1) The #rent is too damn high, the residential market is distorted, and despite a 10% decline in #Manhattan rents they are still among the highest in the country #housing nytimes.com/2020/08/18/nyr…
(2) Some people are leaving the city. #Housing demand in the #suburbs can shift back to the city, but the suburbs make more sense for families now nytimes.com/2020/08/30/nyr…
