These are locations where interurban and streetcar services once fostered dense land use patterns, supportive of public transit. Instead of chasing after shiny new projects, we must maintain focus on investing transportation dollars into revitalizing existing corridors.

Check out what @ElUrbanista had to share with @Railway_News at #AptaRail24: "In #MiamiFL, there’s been a tendency to showcase elaborate plans for new infrastructure, yet actual accomplishments over the past two decades are disappointing...

Every new transit project in North America should aim for what @MetroenKBH exemplifies: 1. Fast, frequent service with 4-minute headways 🚇 2. Clean, safe, and modern facilities 🛃 3. A comfortable and enjoyable customer experience ☺️
