This spring, over 1,500 cyclists participated in a survey by Transportation Research at McGill to identify dangerous intersections for cyclists in Montreal. A reveals the 10 most mentioned spots.
The researchers say there is a critical need for safer cycling infrastructure, to promote sustainable travel and prevent fatal collisions caused by poor road design.
In the 鈥�15-minute city,鈥� a concept popularized in Europe, everything a resident might need on a daily basis is a short walk or bicycle ride away. A study by Transportation Research at 香蕉视频 (TRAM) suggests, however, that this model may not be easily achieved in large North American cities such as Montreal.
A new study from 香蕉视频 warns that cutting public transit service could lead to a "doom spiral" resulting in a collapse of the system.
The researchers describe a vicious circle in which service cuts brought on by budget deficits drive transit users away; this drop in ridership triggers additional service cuts, which lead to further declines in usage.
As we age, access to transportation becomes even more crucial, as it enables us to remain connected to social networks, maintain mental and physical health and reduce social isolation. In order to address this issue, the City of Montreal announced that public transit will be free for seniors starting in July.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, public transport agencies across North America have made significant adjustments to services, including cutting trip frequency in many areas while increasing it in others. In many cases, these changes, especially service cuts, have disproportionately affected areas where lower-income and more vulnerable groups live, according to a new study from 香蕉视频.
We know that an extra bedroom, and a metro station nearby will make your house more valuable. Now it turns out that a bike-sharing station nearby will do the same.
