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.

In case you missed it over the weekend, I needed to get this out of my system because Canadian cities are stuck in a toxic cycle.

Feedback submitted to Caltrain:
"Hi there, I just tried to get on train 424, which stopped at San Antonio around 6:35 pm. I was on the station rushing to the blue zone at the opposite end of the platform. It was very difficult to go over the bumpy stamped concrete. No conductor came out to meet me, and the train left without me. I'm quite surprised by this, as the conductors are usually very attentive. If I had been able to walk, I would have been able get on the train, but this time, I felt excluded based on my wheelchair. Is there anything you can do to make this better?"
Holy cow, #Transitous-based #publictransit routing has just landed in the nightly version of #GNOMEMaps, and therefore the number of cities you can get transit directions in… has gone waaaay up! It can even route through a mess like Los Angeles' multiple transit authorities, or calculate long-distance trains! 
Big props to @mlundblad for implementing this: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-m…
This video got me VERY excited about the prospect of a transit app that focuses on providing accessibility info! The link to Joel’s project on indiegogo is here: indiegogo.com/projects/transit…

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.

Deimos transit - Perseverance Sol 1037
This sequence was from 177 Left Mastcam-Z images that were upscaled 2x using the Enhance function in Adobe Lightroom. According to the image metadata the transit was on January 20th and started at 01:32:18 UTC and lasted until 01:34:18 UTC.Flickr
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.
