Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada

as someone who lives in Toronto I mean…you really don’t need an extensive subway network here. We have a lot of buses and several lines of street cars (trollys, trains on the road, whatever you call them where you live).
So what’s being shown here is ONLY the subway network. it doesn’t show the vast street car lines would would make it look A LOT like the China photo.

is this why there is no traffic problems in Toronto and commute is not a suicide inducing nightmare?

The last video of Not Just Bikes is specifically about Toronto’s streetcar.

The streetcar network is a complete shitshow. Multiple streetcars bunched up, with hundreds of people inside, being blocked by a few SUV drivers and parked cars on the side.of the street.
Its faster to bike or walk in most cases.
Same for the buses. There’s a reason the bus lines hete have nicknames like “the sufferin’ dufferin”

Wow. It sounds very utilized. That awesome.

Utilisation is good, but overcrowding illustrates the point of this meme, which is that the public transit system is being neglected and hasn’t kept pace with demand.
