Not to worry: Straphanger is alive and well! I'll continue to post about transit, bicycles, and alternatives to car-based urbanism under the "Straphanger" tag. https://t.co/D8pLDqWEyV https://t.co/1FODCPJ3pA

I've got a #longread in the @globeandmail today about #Florida's Brightline, and the promise of privately-run, for-profit passenger trains in North America. Spoiler: Not all "high-speed" rail is created equal... #trains https://t.co/zbphSBapXe https://t.co/GY9LooWDjv
