Two lines of the Lyon Metro are automated. Line D (here) was built for automation in the 90s, and Line B was retrofitted in 2022 (being originally built in the 70s). Wouldn’t it be cool automate the Montreal Metro?

I’ve always liked how Toronto buses and streetcars usually drop you off in the station, within the fare paid zone.
This is real. The City of Montreal (specifically the new administration) really did cut into the sidewalk to create more parking spots / loading zones. There are a half dozen (or so) of these on this street.
When cycling is a viable way to get around your city, why wouldn’t they have cops on bikes too?

"While Bitcoin gets a lot of attention, it hasn’t played the safe-haven role many expected. In my view, there are a few reasons why. First, Bitcoin lacks privacy. Transactions can be monitored and potentially controlled, which is why central banks aren’t looking to hold it.
