Macleans makes the case for high speed rail.
We (Canada) are the only G7 country without it.
And apart from all the benefits (many!), check this: Average CO2 emission per passenger would be 3 grams! vs 153 g using air travel.
The $80 billion price tag looks like a bargain.

On Sol 1037 (three days ago) the Perseverance rover observerved this transit of Mars' smallest moon Deimos.
This timelapse was made from 177 Left Mastcam-Z images and shows the event at 10x speed.

Since I saw some of you enjoyed yesterday's photo of the ISS transiting our full moon, I thought I'd post some more details: This kind of transit is quite rare, but can be observed almost anywhere with some patience and planning. The ISS is about 400km above earth, and it circles around our planet 16 times a day - so it's faaaaast! The transit of the moon takes less than 1 second, so timing is everything. Here's a video... #iss #spacestation #transit #fullmoon #photography #astrophotography

Cars take up unnecessary space when they are moving too!
In a cruel reflection of the class hierarchies we've created for society we prioritise space in our roads for the single most inefficient users. Effectively devoting a limited resource (#transit capacity) in who uses it in the most wasteful way possible, a privilege of owning a car. We struggle with city councils to get scraps of sometimes temporary space for buses or bikes.
And yet this space is not enough. It will never be enough.
A cartoon showing a transversal cut of road users. Furthest to the left some people crowd in a small bus stop. Next to them a cyclist squeezes through. Next to him a whole bunch of people are crowded together in a bus, squeezed next to each other. In the right side we see a single man comfortably sitting at the wheel of his empty car. He says "Damn those bike paths and bus lanes taking all the space!"
