Qu'est-ce qu'on attend au Québec pour prendre des mesures qui vont contribuer à augmenter la fréquence et l'utilisation des transports en commun non seulement dans les villes, mais entre les régions?

I'm convinced ride-hailing apps and #robotaxis do not solve the traffic problem and cities should rather invest into #publicTransport.
So it's particularly baffling to discover that robotaxis in #SanFransisco block #buses, #trains and #tramways...

Tramways remains my favourite route-builder. Watertight gameplay, solo or against others. Multi-use cards and deck-building, accessible but crunchy gameplay; there’s so much to recommend this one. #boardgames #tabletop #tramways #deckof51 #game #cards

In July 1921, the #London County Council (#LCC) started operating the loss-making #Leyton Urban District Council #Tramways (LUDCT) and slashed fares on the system to boost ridership.
Up to 1921, the LCC's 2d midday fare took you to the county boundary. When it took over LUDCT, the 2d fare's range was extended to Epping Forest, to see if it generated more #traffic. The LCC also advertised these changes, as this press advert shows
More research is required on how this #transport experiment went.

@freakazoid I like #streetcars too, and it was probably foolish for cities to remove them if they were already in place. But it's hard to see a case now where it would be better to install a streetcar system than to invest in buses.
Regarding automation, it's probably about as easy to automate buses as streetcars.
Unlike streetcars, #LRT and #CommuterRail do make sense, in the right corridors.
