After a break for the summer The Urbanist Agenda podcast is back! The first episode is now on Nebula, and it'll go public on Friday:
https://nebula.tv/agenda/trams-are-great-so-why-are-toronto-streetcars-so-terrible-with-rm-transit
In this episode I talk with RM Transit about something that has bugged both of us for a long time: in many European cities, trams are some of the best forms of public transit around, and they create and enable great urbanism. Yet in Toronto, the streetcars are absolutely terrible to the point of sometimes being slower than walking.
