"We can have a city where you don't need to own a car to get around"

    Having moved here from NYC:

    • Walking and transit are my primary forms of transportation
    • The busses are infinitely more reliable than NY’s and far better connected to the subways
    • The street cars are lovely when it’s not rush hour, I wish we had them back in NY
    • Subway coverage is pretty expansive, especially now that we have 5 lines. Delays are not unlike anything in NYC
    • You can get from Union to the airport in 20 minutes via the UP train, far better than dealing with the clusterfuck of traffic in that area
    • Light rails connect to surrounding cities as is typical. Going from Toronto to Ottawa feels like going from NYC to Boston
    • While my partner and I do have a compact car for occasions, we hardly ever use it
