"Twitter has become a real-time news source, but it's only as useful as the accounts you follow. On Twitter, as in life, following the wrong crowd won't get you very far.

"Today, we're here to help. For the past year or so, we've been picking out the Twitter accounts we find most valuable when it comes to getting information about the future of our cities. However, with that being one of the most vast subjects on the planet, we thought we'd kick off this Tops in Twitter feature with a list of the best crew to follow in one category: transportation."

Included on the Top 10 list are the Twitter accounts for NACTO (@NACTO), Vancouver planner Brent Toderian (@BrentToderian), New York's MTA Sustainability Director Projjal Dutta (@projjal), documentary filmmaker Doug Gordon (@BrooklynSpoke), among others.
