As the thread reads, things are not always perfect over in Europe but they are ahead of most of North America when it comes to transit. The Guardian has a great write up on the free transit policy in Luxembourg. I know most people are click-adverse so I have brought forth part of the article...

Not sure if there was ever a thread on walk out and indoor observation spaces but this came across my mind after seeing photos of a friend's New York trip. It seems like Toronto lacks or highly restricts and are hesitant to incorporate or allow public (even paid) observation spaces in towers...

There wasn't an appropriate thread that covers the current situation of the vacant downtown core but this issue straddles both the urban life and politics realms. It's well documented that Toronto is a laggard when it comes to back to the office for work and this is starting to cause problems...

Compilation of technical resources for LRT/Streetcar Infrastructure. It's not easy to search when one does not have the technical terms that are used in the industry. Hope these will answer some of those questions that pop into the mind when seeing different infrastructure designs implemented...

I searched around for a dedicated neighbourhood thread for Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) also known as downtown Vaughan. But was surprised that a dedicated thread hasn't been created yet, so here it is. As of yesterday, I've counted around 5-6 cranes that have been erected in the area since...

I've noticed that with all these condo developments going on throughout the GTA there seems to be an increase of traffic light installations for these specific developments. These traffic lights are specifically installed for automobiles to access these properties and I'm wondering if this would...
