Today Bergamo's suburban e-BRT line started regular revenue service It mostly connects Bergamo's main station to a few large suburban municipalities and industrial areas to the south-west. It cost €84 M (including 15 artic buses) for some 30-ish km (70% in dedicated lanes) ebrt.atb.bergamo.it

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop

The new finch and eglinton avenue light rails. I was disappointed by both. Eglinton is both way overbuilt and way under built with trains that are too small and tram like for any serious demand on them. Line 6 finch is just plain shit. A few stations where the nearby roads have dirt sidewalks
