    Episode 2 - Interview with Reece Martin

    Nearly every city in the country that doesn't experience rain all winter has been inundated with so much snow and it has brought problems to transit riders especially in Southern Ontario.  We're also joined by our guest, Reece Martin of RMTransit, where we discuss the nuances and challenges of building a transit advocacy movement, culture, and education. Plus we also provide the big reveal: what is a "dwell time"?---Snow Clearing: Grand River Transit working to enhance bus stop snow removal times https://www.cambridgetoday.ca/local-news/grand-river-transit-working-to-enhance-bus-stop-snow-removal-times-11765595?ref=tritag.ca Toronto residents are frustrated with slush-filled sidewalks, city responds https://nowtoronto.com/news/toronto-frustrated-slush-filled-sidewalks/ Vancouver Broadway Subway Bus Detour (Instagram Explainer) - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUCNt3Oj794/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== RPA (Regional Plan Association for the Tri-State Area) Triboro Line/Interborough Express - https://rpa.org/work/campaigns/ibx Rider’s Alliance (NYC) - https://www.ridersalliance.org/ Transit Engineering & Planning: Needs and Perspectives in Canada - https://ojs.library.queensu.ca/index.php/PCEEA/article/view/19671 Reece Martin - https://reecemartin.ca Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/dwelltime.ca

    Episode 1 - Meet Rodney and Denis!

    It's our first step! Rodney Chan of TriTAG and Denis Agar of Movement have come together to discuss transit advocacy in Canada. Rodney brings up the new Line 6 Finch West LRT that just opened in Toronto and how its shortcomings are bringing transit priority front and centre at city hall.  As well, Denis and Rodney have a conversation about how they ended up in the transit planning and urbanism scene plus how they both have contributed to being micro-celebrities on social media. ---Denis promoting a new bus service for Metro Vancouver - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eltnLcyP8AUSteve Munro Blog Post on TTC Board discussion on Line 6 Finch West LRT - https://stevemunro.ca/2025/12/10/ttc-board-debates-finch-lrt/Motion to speed up light rail transit and street cars - https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2025.MM35.15Results of the motion - https://bsky.app/profile/graphicmatt.com/post/3ma4xkekyhk2o Tri-Cities Transport Action Group (TriTAG) - https://tritag.caMovement: Metro Vancouver Transit Riders - https://movementyvr.ca/Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/dwelltime.ca
