Why We Are Always in Traffic (And How We Can Finally Fix It) Ft. RM Transit

Written By Ryan Vopni

For the first episode of In Camera w/Alvin Tedjo, we’re joined by transit enthusiast and YouTuber Reece Martin, aka RM_Transit. We take a deep dive into the current state of Mississauga Transit, seeing how we measure up to other cities across the country, and how we can make getting around easier for everyone. We cover it all tackling the big questions. What’s next for Mississauga? What’s up with the Hurontario LRT? Why are we all mad about bikes? 

We discuss the role that integrated public transit plays in creating a less car dependent city and the existing and potential programs our city can undertake. We can’t discuss transit without diving into its environmental impacts. Reece gives his take on the future of Hydrogen and its part in transit. As we wrap up Reece shares his hope for the future. Tune in for an in depth discussion on how Mississauga can build a big city transit network to solve our big city congestion.
