A beach trip shouldn't require a car, so we put St. Petersburg's Sunrunner Bus Rapid Transit to the test the only way that counts: we rode it, timed it, transferred on it, and paid attention to the small details that make people trust a transit line. Starting in downtown Tampa, we take the 100 bus to St. Pete and talk about how regional connections, routing, and frequency shape whether public transportation feels viable in daily life. We also dig into the Cross Bay Ferry's comeback and why more options across Tampa Bay can change the whole equation.Once we're on the Sunrunner BRT, the experience gets surprisingly solid fast. We look at station design, level boarding, real-time arrival signs, and simplified maps that make the system feel intuitive. We talk transit signal priority, dedicated bus lanes, and why corridor choice matters, including key stops like PSTA's Grand Central Station and access to everyday destinations. For a 10-mile line built for roughly $43 to $45 million, Sunrunner raises a big question for cities across Florida and the United States: how much better could bus networks be if we focused on speed, frequency, and clarity instead of overbuilding or under-delivering?Subscribe for more from our Florida series, share this with a friend who debates bus lanes, and leave a review if you want more on-the-ground transit breakdowns.

Pittsburgh doesn't usually come to mind as a “big transit city,” but once you look closely, it has some of the most practical and inventive transit infrastructure in the U.S. We dig into how Pittsburgh's hills, rivers, and industrial rail legacy shaped a network that still punches above its weight, and why a brand new Bus Rapid Transit line to Oakland and the universities could be a major quality-of-life upgrade.We start by walking through Pittsburgh's light rail: the Red, Blue, and Silver lines, their frequencies, and the odd-but-fascinating detail that some segments operate with request stops like a bus. From there we get into the real story behind the system, including how old railway tunnels and former streetcar rights of way still carry riders today, plus the downside of aging infrastructure and vehicles. We also talk transit-oriented development, because when we see station-area parking lots, we see real potential for more housing and better neighborhoods.Then we switch to what might be Pittsburgh's secret weapon: the busways. These grade-separated corridors let tons of local bus routes funnel into a fast, reliable approach to downtown, more like a bus highway than a simple painted lane. Finally, we break down the University Line BRT scheduled for 2027, including dedicated lanes, upgraded signals, all-door boarding, new stations, and why the $291M price tag is more than “just paint.”If you enjoy smart transit planning, Pittsburgh transit, bus rapid transit, and real-world tradeoffs between BRT and rail, subscribe for more, share this with a friend who loves cities, and leave a review with the next city you want us to cover.Send a textSupport the show

The grounded approach the team is taking that comes right from the top. How the relentless off-season work at BRT has filled them with confidence and a determination by the drivers to repay the faith as they say. Jimmy is making the most of his new surroundings and we look back on his Bathurst 2025 podium with the benefit of a bit of time to process it. A turning point for Aaron at Adelaide last year and how he rose to the occasion. Plus the wave of new supporters (all in BRT merch) that love the underdog story. And ‘Flying High’….Sky Diving indoors. Are either of them ready for a cameo in the next Point Break movie? This convo flies by. It’s like the three of them are at a BBQ and you’re within earshot. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve built a Feature library that is mainly 1-on-1 convos but we’re breaking the mould with this one….and it was so worth it. Rusty shoots the breeze with ‘Bieber’ and ‘Camo’ who are reveling in the step forward that BRT has taken in Supercars this year. How motor racing started for each of them? The race cars in the Cameron family garage and has Aaron had a steer of them? DJ’ing and why it’s an escape for Jimmy and is there any correlations to his day job.There’s a heart warming family story Aaron shares too that is truly inspiring.

In cities across low- and middle-income countries, traffic crawls 24 hours a day. In Dhaka during rush hour, speeds average around 15km/h. At three in the morning, when the roads are empty, they average about 20km/h. Urban transport in the developing world is not only slow because of congestion. And so congestion policy, Adam Storeygard of Tufts University argues, gets you a small fraction of the way to solving the problems of urban transport in LMICs.That counterintuitive finding is one many themes in Storeygard's wide-ranging review of what research actually tells us about how people in LMICs get from A to B. From informal minibuses to bus rapid transit, from a field experiment in Bangalore that tested congestion pricing to the long shadow of colonial railroads still shaping African trade today, the picture that emerges is more nuanced and more interesting than many policy blueprints suggest. He tells Tim Phillips what the evidence supports, where it runs out, and why fixing the roads won't fix everything.The research behind this episode:Storeygard, Adam. 2025. "Transport in Low- and Middle-Income Countries." NBER Working Paper 34354. Forthcoming in a special issue of Regional Science and Urban Economics.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim. 2026.

VoxDev Talk (podcast). Assign this as extra listening: the citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About Adam StoreygardAdam Storeygard is Professor of Economics at Tufts University, where his research focuses on urbanisation, transportation, and the economic geography of the developing world, in particular sub-Saharan Africa. Much of his work uses geographic and satellite data to study how infrastructure shapes where people live, how they move, and how economies develop.Research cited in this episodeAkbar, Prottoy Aman, Victor Couture, Gilles Duranton, and Adam Storeygard. 2023. "The Fast, the Slow, and the Congested: Urban Transportation in Rich and Poor Countries." NBER Working Paper 31642. The paper behind the Dhaka finding: assembling travel speed data across 1,200 cities in 152 countries, the authors show that cities in poor countries are roughly half as fast as those in rich countries, and that most of the gap is not congestion but structural low speeds in the absence of traffic.Björkegren, Daniel, Alice Duhaut, Geetika Nagpal, and Nick Tsivanidis. 2025. "Public and Private Transit: Evidence from Lagos." Working paper. When Lagos introduced a major new public bus system, informal drivers on affected routes left,  so bus frequency on those routes fell on net. The big benefit accrued to other routes that informal drivers switched to, where prices and waiting times fell. Winners and losers, not a clean gain.Franklin, Simon. 2018. "Location, Search Costs and Youth Unemployment: Experimental Evidence from Transport Subsidies." Economic Journal 128 (614). A randomised trial in Addis Ababa: providing transport subsidies to unemployed young people helped them search for and find formal jobs. Effects did not persist once subsidies ended, raising questions about how much the transport constraint itself was the binding one.Borker, Girija. 2021. "Safety First: Perceived Risk of Street Harassment and Educational Choices of Women." World Bank Policy Research Working Paper 9731. Women in Delhi attend less selective colleges than male peers with identical academic credentials, not because they are not admitted, but because of perceived harassment risk during the commute. Delhi university students overwhelmingly live with their parents, and the daily journey matters as much as the institution.Kreindler, Gabriel. 2024. "Peak-Hour Road Congestion Pricing: Experimental Evidence and Equilibrium Implications." Econometrica 92 (4). A field experiment in Bangalore, paying drivers to avoid congested areas and times. The finding: congestion pricing would produce only modest benefits in Bangalore because traffic density has a relatively moderate impact on speed there, meaning you would have to charge astronomically high prices to shift behaviour significantly.Jedwab, Remi, and Adam Storeygard. 2022. "The Average and Heterogeneous Effects of Transportation Investments: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa 1960–2010." Journal of the European Economic Association 20 (1). Shows how transportation infrastructure investments, including the legacy of colonial railroads built primarily to connect mines to ports, continue to shape where Africans live and how countries trade, with consequences that push African economies toward overseas rather than intra-regional commerce.More VoxDev Talks on this topicMichelson, Hope, 2026, “African agriculture's underappreciated supply side.” VoxDev Talk.

Conversamos con Konstantinos Panagiotou, CEO de Doppelmayr para Guatemala y México, sobre el proyecto del teleférico, actualmente en construcción en la ciudad de Guatemala. Abordamos el origen del proyecto, la experiencia internacional de la empresa en sistemas de transporte por cable, el modelo de inversión privada, el rol de la municipalidad y el uso del espacio público, así como las principales críticas y cuestionamientos que han surgido en torno a su viabilidad, impacto urbano y relación con otros sistemas de transporte como el BRT.Gracias a nuestros patrocinadores:Party SmartInterlunioTransdocSíguenos en nuestras redes sociales:Whatsapp:https: //whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaFGJYN7z4ko8qL0Rk3USpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6nwrSBjxwubm0nJlEDoJdD?si=d2a6238d0a05462eTiktok: / tangentepodcast X: / tangentegt Facebook: / tangentegt Instagram: / tangente_gt

¿Cómo se arregla el tráfico en Guatemala? En este episodio de Tangente lo abordamos como lo que es: un problema de sistema, no de “proyectos sueltos”. Hablamos de la urgencia de una gobernanza metropolitana y de un transporte integrado que conecte municipios y modos de movilidad: caminar, bicicleta y transporte público.Conversamos con Ximena Porres (Ojo con Pisto) y Kimberly Padilla (arquitecta y urbanista) sobre por qué “más carriles” no soluciona el tráfico, cómo se incentiva el uso del carro a costa del bien común, y por qué un BRT bien hecho (como un Transmetro con carril exclusivo real) mueve más gente con menos espacio.También entramos al tema que ya está generando discusión: el teleférico llamado “barómetro”. Revisamos lo que se sabe, lo que no se sabe, la opacidad del proceso, los riesgos y limitaciones (capacidad, operación, clima, sismos), y el impacto urbano y ambiental. Hablamos de seguridad y acoso, de por qué la ciudad se volvió hostil para peatones y ciclistas, y de cómo las decisiones de movilidad también se vuelven decisiones de salud y calidad de vida.Cerramos con una conversación sobre densificación, vivienda, agua y planificación: no se puede meter más gente sin transporte, aceras, drenajes y servicios. La ciudad puede cambiar, pero requiere decisiones difíciles y coherencia.

Both Governor Jared Polis and Mayor Mike Johnston are very excited that Waymo is bringing self-driving cars to the Mile High. But what will these autonomous vehicles mean for our already congested streets? And where will they park??? Probably not along Colfax, as BRT construction is eating up spaces and business owners are stressed about it. Host Bree Davies is joined by Jill Locantore, executive director of Denver Streets Partnership, to talk about Waymo's relationship to pedestrian safety and share her big idea that could change Denver's parking scarcity mindset.  Bree and Jill talked about the Denver Streets Partnership's East Colfax parking management study and what a parking benefits district could look like.  What do you think about Jill's big idea?

Philadelphia, one of America's oldest cities, blends rich history with a dense, walkable urban core. Its transit system, operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA), includes subways, trolleys, buses, and regional rail that connect neighborhoods, suburbs, and key destinations like the airport and multiple universities. While aging infrastructure poses challenges, Philly's compact layout makes it one of the most transit-accessible cities in the U.S. • SEPTA's tap-to-pay system proves convenient for making connections across multiple modes• Roosevelt Boulevard corridor plans include potential BRT, light rail, or subway extensions by 2040• Historic trolley system provides frequent service but faces capacity challenges with packed cars• Visiting Camden via PATCO and returning by ferry adds a multistate dimension to Philadelphia transit• SEPTA faces a critical funding crisis with potential 45% service cuts and fare increases threatening system viabilityIf you've enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting us through Patreon, buying us a coffee, or checking out our merch store.

The Research Triangle area of North Carolina keeps trying—and failing—to develop effective transit solutions despite strong voter support for improvements. After a promising light rail project was derailed by Duke University in 2019, the region has pivoted to Bus Rapid Transit projects with mixed success.• Voters approved a half-cent sales tax in 2011-2012 specifically for transit improvements including the 17.7-mile Durham Orange Light Rail• Duke University refused to sign necessary agreements in 2019, effectively killing the light rail project that would have connected three universities• Raleigh has developed plans for four BRT lines extending from downtown in all directions• Despite a groundbreaking ceremony in 2023, Raleigh's BRT project has faced two failed contractor selection attempts and completion is now projected for 2030• Durham is pursuing its own BRT plans but remains in earlier planning stages• A proposed 43-mile commuter rail connecting West Durham through Raleigh to Clayton lost federal funding support in 2023• The Triangle region already has Amtrak service with about five daily trains between towns, but frequency and reliability need improvementIf you want to support the show, be sure to like and subscribe to our videos and share them with others.

The Democrats in Washington are divided over how best to resist the new Trump administration, so we're looking today at how local liberals are doing it. Some are vandalizing Tesla dealerships. Some are filling the rooms at our congressional delegation's town halls. And some are looking forward to the big Bernie/AOC rally at Civic Center Park this Friday. Progressive champion and at-large councilwoman Sarah Parady joins producer Paul Karolyi to talk about the latest action and all the other big stories of the week — from a setback for the tipped minimum wage bill and the latest intrigue on the planned BRT on Federal, to the debates over widening Peña Blvd. and the defunct Park Hill Golf Course.  Sarah mentioned some ethical, sustainable poop bags.
