What up with the red tail hawk screeching? Or did you think that's what golden eagles sound like?

Its all about who's palm is gonna get greased!

This is a video about a beautiful city with lots of great things to see. Yet you chose to fill about half of it with video of yourself. No thanks.

I love how you say your A’s. Branch, half, path…I love it!

Blame GM and Big oil for killing the electric bus system in Chicago. And Richard J.

You lost me at “ perpetuating inequality”. Fucking Woke Universities brainwashed these people.

Chicago construction is the worst when it has to do with public. If it’s private they’ll raise a skyline within a year.

Every Mayor for almost 100 years, has not bothered to fix the issues. The whole thing is absurd. Do a total overhaul, and I do mean total. Build it up like the Yamanote in Tokyo.

Did you put in footage of the REM from Montreal?

Wow I’m so impressed with you, your research, the accuracy, your narration, the production, all of it. You have a very bright influential future and I can’t wait to see what you do next. Happy to chat anytime

This is a very well informative video but your editing style is insane. Too erratic, too ADHD, too TikTok-ish. Maybe tone down the fast cutting of 20 million different memes to every single statement you utter. The topic of the video is interesting and engaging enough, don’t treat your audience like children that need a new candy waved at them every 5 seconds to retain their attention. Let the meat of your content do the work instead of hiding it behind unfocused editing like you’re trying to submit a paper due at midnight and it’s 11:58PM.

This is what happens when you leave the Democratic party in charge for so long. Everything goes to shit . There hasn't been Republican mayor since 1931

are you saying i have to donate to get better subway on top of my 33% income tax and 13% sales tax?!

Good journalism. I learned a lot about the city's transit history & future.

I'll be honest. Peru problems is their own people. Most of them are not organized and educated. They never finished their homes, they spent it in drinking. They dont know how to drive. And they accepted corruption as a normal thing. Hopefully that would change one day

honestly great video, i like the editing a lot.

I'm from Denver and I've lived in Washington D.C. I used the Free Mall Ride _every_ weekday. I used the Green line in Washington. Great videos!

Abandoning the downtown relief line was the biggest mistake in the history of this city. They were afraid of too much development! And what they got is way more development they imagined, but with residents driving cars downtown because streetcars are so slow. A move this dumb should never be forgotten

See what did I tell ya? Hahahahaha get lost foreigner,....😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

I still think that the circle line would be better for increasing connectivity between neighborhoods today. It would serve more people than a mid city line (which if its going through Cicero, isn’t the city) and it would take so long to get to the northern suburbs/O’Hare that people aren’t gonna stop driving. that people aren’t gonna stop driving.

LOL< I still remember riding the old wooden El cars with my gramdma when i was a kid on the Lake St El. Chicago needs to fix so much. Under Richie Daley, they got a TON of positive things accomplished. Under his admin, the city, especially downtown thrived and was made into a destination city. His ideas, like the planters on the main steets downtown added so much. Since he's beeen out of office, Chicago has turned into a shytehole more and more each year. The current failure of a mayor has spent so much on Illegals in the city, he's deprived the very citizens who've lived there forever and who need the help the most. He and Lightfoot turned Chicago into a third world country in a really short time. It's heart breaking to me. It also pains me to see those who really need a helping hand being denied due to the spending in the wrong places. Hopefully the residents of the city wake up and stop voting for these total failures called mayors. Richie Daley was god like IMO, and one hell of great mayor and superb human being.

this is a dope video

We have a couple of similar transportation decisions here in the Dallas, Texas area. Budget limitations dictated the decisions. Not good.

What's interesting is as a tourist visiting Toronto back in September, I can't think of a time when I ran into heavy congestion or meandering detours that made me wish the Ontario Line existed (and yes, I traveled during rush hour). On the flipside, there were several times it would have been incredibly convenient for Line 5 to have been open.

I just don’t understand why anyone would live in a place like this.

as a Toronto girl, 11:54 appears to be alluding to the low income neighborhoods... I could be wrong though

Yes- everybody wants better transit…. But advocates ignoring costs and other responsibilities is where division can be found.

I quit at woke moment "perpetuating inequality " 1.44 minutes in.

It's not a subway. It's a glorified streetcar.

I'm only at the bit about Transit City but I have to point out one thing that is being missed here. Miller came to the conclusion about it having spent his campaign going across the city and heard massive complaints from the far edges of the city about how hard it was to get anywhere but downtown. So Transit city was designed to address that. If people could go across the top of the city, they wouldn't need to go to Bloor/Yonge. And Transit City did have a subway component - the subway extension to York University. The busway there was built based on the feedback he was getting from students until the subway extension happened. So that's why there wasn't a relief line in the plans.

I turned down jobs in the city when I found out I would have to commute through the L five days a week. It’s all around a mess and a risk.

It’s clear that you don’t live in Chicago and all of your entire premise is based on research alone. Live here for any amount of years and you’ll realize why the transit system was built the way it was and why it’s fine the way it is now.

can you do a video on the montreal blue line expansion! or the rem!

With Metrolinx as the contractor the Ontario Line is likely to be at least a decade late and cost at least three times the original budget. They haven’t done better than that on any other project, two of which have been built but are inoperable.

This was impressively well done. Regardless of the subject matter, keep'em coming!

Won't be done in our lifetime (probably not even our grandchildren's)

Oklahoma City has a weird streetcar network and a lot of busses, and for an up and coming city they have a chance to get it right early. What are they doing right and what can they improve?

People and communities have always complained about disruptions to their communities with an elevated system, but no one has ever talked about creating a north south subway. I would imagine that it’s an easier solution.

this aint even the loop

As a relatively new "Chicagoan" and having lived in 3 other major cities with rapid transit, I can attest that Chicago DOES have great coverage in general. But a lot of it relies on the bus routes rather than the trains. If you need to get downtown, you're basically within a bus and then a train ride. But maneuvering about the city on the outer spokes is definitely an issue, especially in bad weather or if you are impaired. I really didn't hear much in this discussion about the HUGE hole that exists for people living in the NE part of the city, who need to travel east. Why -- does one have to go ALL the way downtown on the Blueline, in order to connect to the Brown or Red? I could understand perhaps, it being expensive to directly connect the Blue and Red lines from East to West...but LOOK AT THE MAP! It makes no sense that the Brown and Blue lines don't connect. The end of the Brown @ Kimball....and the Blueline Montrose stops are NOT that far apart. Then from the Damien Brownline stop it's a straight shot over to Wilson or Lawrence on the Red. Yes..I understand there are all kinds of political and landownership issues that cause barriers to building transit lines but in my non-urban-planning-trained mind, it seems like there was a lack of vision or foresight when these lines were conceived or lines were demolished that could have been used! It reminds me of the way cities make a big deal about "new train connection to the airport!!" when that should have been in the plan the whole time!!

You should do segments on Virginia Railway Express and Maryland Area Rail Commuter MARC. Recently Prince William County dismissed VRE 10:39 expansion to Gainesville/Haymarket station project for stupid 66 Express Lane.

I'm glad it never happened # keepghettos south

Chicago so broke it’s ridiculous. The CTA is an absolute joke. I mean it’s great. They have it because some cities don’t have it like we do so we’re very fortunate credit to that but the biggest issues for me are the expensive prices the smoking the homelessness just these people think it’s their home on these trains and it’s not The other reason. It’s always late. You know it’s like these people on the train. They don’t care you know it’s just a few bad apples honestly but it’s if if if you really wanna take a train take the Metra. It’s more safer why they got Metra police and they it’s rarely late. The conductors are really nice. The prices are decent. I just wish they’d run it more often and they’d have more you know Metra trains and more stations but I understand it’s not like the CTA train system obviously well my final opinion is this if I had to pick one over the other, I mean it’s best to have both options if needed obviously but if I had to pick one over the other, I would choose the metra train

Started for a thriving city and will finish with a hollowed out city.

Interesting video with information on didn't know, even though I grew up using the CTA. BUT, the the abundance of baseball clips was just distracting and annoying

cost problems in toronto? no.. ur kidding right ?

cuz there's nothing wrong with the loop.

Whoever does not like it. BYEEEEE. Go to la or ny 👋

So happy to see a video that's not "everything is better in the Netherlands!" Having lived in a few cities in Latin America (including a summer in Lima), I think there's actually a lot we can learn from projects like this on, especially about finding practical solutions in politically difficult contexts with very limited funding.

Texan me is laughing because this is a major upgrade over anything Texas has.
