@timrichards@aus.social My thoughts go to this.
They did road maintenance work in the fashionable and old money part of Montreal last fall. These were the tram tracks uncovered beneath the asphalt before they replaced it with new asphalt. I remember seeing the same thing on the main street downtown once.
It's like, wait, we had workable public transit 100 years ago? Of course they can extend public transit to make it more useful. They just don't want to. Anywhere.

@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social Trams in Montreal would be great! They should definitely reinstate them.

Yeh, it's definitely a question of how to get them out of power, until people like that learn to stop whining about public transit. They do not need anyone to teach them that public transit is feasible and important. They're not going to be like, "We used to have a train down that road? I had no idea! Let's rebuild it right now!"
