    After a bit of a publishing hiatus we are back to regular recording and publishing, and in this episode we discuss the mysterious nature of Greenland and the fascinating variety of transit modes available. Spoiler: it's not all buses. We are particularly interested in niche countries/territories and the transit available, and hopefully some that can translate as you listen!

    Episode 23 — GO Transit in London (Not That London)

    GO Transit, the Toronto Commuter System, has recently been running trial trains to London, Ontario, a city 4 hours away from Toronto. This route, if implemented, would be GO Transit's longest route, and one of the longest commuter rail routes anywhere in the world. In this episode, we discuss the merits of such a service, and our own thoughts on whether a route like this would be feasible.

    Episode 22 — The World's Most Dangerous Train Journey

    Mauritania's Iron Ore Train has gained recent notoriety and infamy for passengers hitchhiking in the iron ore train cars to get from the rural towns of Zouerat and Choum to Nouadhibou. The train is not only an economic lifeline for Mauritania, but also a major adventure for anyone attempting to ride it. If you want to know what the experience would be like, you've come to the right place! Neither of us have been on the train yet, but in this episode we hope you get a sense of the experience and the purpose of the train. For this episode the audio level is lower than normal, so you may have to raise the volume level; sorry about that! As always, let us know your comments, feedback, and suggestions!
