Metronauts is an evolution of last year’s Transit Camp - a community of enthusiastic, open-minded people who care about the future of their city and the role transportation has in their lives. This was my first unconference and I was really inspired by the free-flow of ideas and open-mindedness most people showed. Metronauts will continue to hold events around the Greater Toronto Area with officials from Metrolinx there to hear ideas and contribute to the conversation. This is a pretty brief look at just a couple sessions out of the dozens held at Metronauts. Full-length, unedited video will be available soon at the Metronauts site.

Update: This irony is not lost on us that this video was released mere hours before the TTC strike. If it wasn’t clear before, it is now; Toronto’s transit system is in dire need of innovation and fresh thinking.
