One of the amusing side notes of my recent foray into the challenges that the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) is having was the tone deaf and counterproductive social media responses of their board member from Enbridge, the biggest natural gas firm in North America. When that … [continued]

In the past few days I’ve been going deep on some very odd results out of a Canadian transit think tank’s research and reports for client municipalities, finding that bad assumptions and worse scenarios resulted in $1.5 billion being taken off of hydrogen bus costs. Discussion around this led to … [continued]
