Transit City is over

Stumbled upon this video the other day at Vimeo. Kind of interesting to see how Toronto was seen through the eyes of a German tourist, in just 4 minutes and 37 seconds.

Honourable mentions include TTC, Tim Hortons, and Niagara Falls (in February), but make sure you don’t miss out on the joyfully dancing girls in the snow outside ROM (at 00:38).

Transit City is over
1 December 2010 | 1:33 PM

For those who still don’t get it (politicians in particular, like when Sarah Thomson talked about her “Bike City” as if it was something remotely relevant), Toronto is REALLY fed up (AND the people have already spoken, when they elected Rob Ford on October 25).

To be fair, Transit City would be a visionary concept, IF we were living in the 1950s, or for less crowded places like Nice (pronounced as “niece”) or Lucerne. But the cold, hard truth is that, Toronto is home to more than 2.5 MILLION people, and it would be unrealistic to rely on some retro-futuristic street cars to move them around.

Yes, there are budgetary constraints; but instead of writing off any subway expansion as expensive, perhaps we should also look beyond Yonge and Dundas, and learn from other world-class cities like Shanghai and Delhi, especially when it comes to project financing.

And no, it’s not even about politics.

Sandbox for WordPress
29 November 2010 | 2:17 PM

Finally decided on using Sandbox (collaboratively by Scott Wallick and Andy Skelton) for WordPress. No, it’s not my original design, but I just love it how it brings out not only text but also pictures via a minimalist vehicle.

Pending Re-Launch
27 October 2010 | 4:25 PM

Megacity Network is pending re-launch in November 2010. Yes, it will be a work in progress, with both its content and form (a.k.a. design) undergoing some fine-tuning down the road. Hopefully, it will not be too annoying. :)
