🇨🇦🚍 BC #Transit has ordered 41 new Enviro500 double-decker buses from Alexander Dennis as part of a fleet renewal programme in British Columbia, #Canada. The buses, added to the manufacturer’s backlog in the first quarter of 2026, will replace older vehicles reaching the end of their service life and support the continued use of double-deckers across the network. Each bus seats up to 80 passengers while maintaining a compact road footprint. BC Transit, which serves more than 130 communities and carries over 54 million passengers a year, was the first public #transport operator in North America to introduce double-decker buses in 2000. Around 50 Alexander Dennis double-deckers already operate in Victoria, with more due to enter service this year. Both organisations said the order reflects their long-standing partnership and focus on improving passenger capacity and comfort. https://www.alexander-dennis.com/bc-transit-partners-with-alexander-dennis-for-fleet-upgrade-with-order-of-41-new-enviro500-double-deckers/

Thinking about getting around without a car? More importantly, do you vote for people who fund transit & biking in cities? What our streets prioritize is up to us, not car lobbyists. According to AAA annual cost to own and maintain a car is $11,577 (calculated before fuel prices started to skyrocket). #bikeTooter #transit #urbanism

The maintenance-of-way equipment of the Canada Line was parked at Waterfront station last month. Here are some of my pictures of it. I have no clue what the model of shunting engine this could be. #trains #Vancouver #Canada #transit #Maintenance

🇳🇿 Global mass #transit operator Kinetic has secured all four contract units in #Auckland Transport’s Tranche 3 bus services tender, worth NZD755 million, marking its largest contract in Auckland. Three central units will run for 11 years and the eastern unit for 8.6 years. Kinetic will invest more than NZD121 million in new zero-emission buses and depot upgrades, including expanded charging infrastructure and a second overhead gantry charging system at its City depot. In total, 201 zero-emission buses will operate under the contract, with 125 entering service in 2027. A record 165 electric buses will begin operating from the first day of central services in July 2027, the largest initial rollout in New Zealand. Eastern services will start in December 2026. The contract reinforces Kinetic’s position as Auckland’s largest bus operator and supports Auckland Transport’s plan to transition the city’s entire bus fleet to zero emissions by 2035. https://www.wearekinetic.com/newsroom/kinetic-awarded-auckland-transport-tranche-3-contracts-to-deliver-new-zealands-largest-day-one-zero-emission-bus-rollout

🚌🇵🇹 CaetanoBus is leading the world’s first #hydrogen Bus Rapid #Transit (BRT) consortium headed by a bus manufacturer, marking its shift from vehicle producer to #mobility solutions provider. The project supports the launch of #Metro do Porto’s first hydrogen-powered #BRT corridor in Porto. Under a single-contract model, CaetanoBus coordinated vehicle supply, green hydrogen production, refuelling infrastructure, solar energy generation, depot energy management and long-term maintenance. The system includes 12 H2.CityGold 18-metre #buses using #Toyota fuel cell #technology. The integrated structure centralises accountability, aiming to improve reliability, reduce complexity and lower total cost of ownership. CaetanoBus plans to expand the model with a pay-per-use offer, enabling operators to access fleet and energy infrastructure on a per-kilometre basis, reducing upfront capital costs. https://caetanobus.pt/en/caetanobus-leads-the-worlds-first-oem-led-hydrogen-brt-consortium/

The Mayor and council leaders have unveiled a new #Transport Vision for the West of #England, aiming to create a reliable, integrated network to support the region’s growing #economy. The plan prioritises better buses, more #trains, a new mass #transit system, improved walking and cycling routes, and upgraded streets and travel hubs. The West is the largest city-region without mass transit, and leaders aim to begin building within four to five years. Backed by £752 million in funding, more than 250 new low-emission buses, new rail stations and expanded active #travel schemes are under way. The vision links transport investment to jobs, productivity and housing growth, with further strategies and public consultation on #buses to follow. https://www.westofengland-ca.gov.uk/news/a-transport-network-you-can-trust-the-wests-new-transport-vision/

My 7-year-old is on the spectrum and is a HUUGE fan of trains, specifically the New York City subway system. Lately, he's feeling different from the other kids at school, none of whom love trains. If that sounds like a kid you know, maybe they can become pen pals with my little guy. DMs open if you're interested. #Autism #NYC #Transit

The kids are alright. This roving gang of Transit Foamers rides the Montréal REM extension on its first day, going to every new station and exploring the surrounding area, giving a review of each as a whole. They are all very aware of equity issues, urbanism, you name it. The kids are alright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhLawauihOE #transit #foamers #rem #montreal
