#RapidTO bus lane on Dufferin makes me so happy when it works. I just cut a full 10 minutes off my commute. Love it.

After a long fight with the flu in my household, this is my first time commuting on Dufferin since before the red paint RapidTO lanes. I forgot to pay attention to how traffic was flowing and holy crap I’m already at King street?!

Backstabber Brad is at it again; trying to further water down #RapidTO so that it's only in effect during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Hope City Council throws this motion under the bus (pun intended)! #shame #TTC #TOpoli

Flat out disagree with Stephen Holyday's remark! CongestionTO is the car infested status quo he had been pushing to maintain at all costs over the years! The only way to fight gridlock is FEWER CARS and the #RapidTO proposal for Dufferin and Bathurst is a step in the right direction. #TTC #TOpoli

Cllr Myers took some well-deserved shots at bad-faith actors. I assume he means the business owners putting out AI-generated "testimonials." It was interesting considering Cllr Saxe explicitly thanked at least one of those bad-faith actors.

Marco Santaguida was one of the few people to oppose #RapidTO at committee this week (despite inaccurate "both sides" press coverage, almost all the speakers were strongly in favor of transit). Whenever I go by, Santaguida has three vehicles stored in city land on the side street. Not enough!

Great recap by @johnlorinc.bsky.social in @spacing.bsky.social on the #RapidTO developments dating back to 2018, including calling out @diannesaxe.bsky.social's recent caving in to the car-brains. Toronto desperately needs to get better with these projects. #TTC #TOpoli spacing.ca/toronto/2025...
