You show an American city leader Seoul or Vienna or Munich and all they do is start thinking of reasons why they can’t do that. They leave with wistful dreams not plans. But you can be as good as Calgary, it’s a very realistic bar — you just need to put in the time and effort. — PolitiTweet.org

These are important examples not because Calgary and Ottawa are so great. It’s precisely that these *aren’t* giant or universally beloved cities that makes them worth learning from — they’re boring North American cities that are just slightly better-planned and better-run. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now American transit agencies and transit grant-makers are literally not *trying* to make transit systems that attract riders. Not coincidentally, few people are riding transit! The first step is to decide the transit is there to be used. https://t.co/z0tRpu1oU0 — PolitiTweet.org
