RMTransit: How Cities Move by Rail, Bus and Tram
Main focus
RMTransit examines the networks that shape urban life: metros, trams, buses, rail corridors and high-speed connections. From a Toronto-based perspective with a global frame, it links transit performance to the planning choices behind reliability, reach and everyday usefulness.
Why it matters
Comparing your own city’s service with systems elsewhere can sharpen how you read transit news and project announcements. RMTransit turns complex questions of connectivity, network design and service quality into accessible points for public discussion.
Style
Transit criticism is paired with plain-language explanations of how networks operate and why planning decisions matter. The approach moves between Canadian developments and international examples, keeping the focus on practical urban mobility rather than transport as spectacle.
Consistency
Across a substantial body of work, the emphasis remains on public transport systems and the decisions that shape them. Canadian issues sit alongside international comparisons, creating a useful archive for both local and wider transit context.

Editorial note
Treat policy opinions and city-to-city comparisons as starting points for further research. For local projects, check current agency plans, funding decisions and regional reporting, since timelines and proposals can change.
