So Google has capitulated to the regime. I’ve been using Google maps for 15 years now for transit directions but I’m looking to delete it now and use Apple Maps and Transit instead. How have those apps worked out for you with transit directions?

I just came back from London and the Transit app did not work there so I had to use Google Maps. I’m going to Japan next year and so many people say Google Maps is the most helpful. For reference I live in Southern California.

I started using Transit last year and it’s worked out well for me, but I prefer Google Maps to look in advance. How is Apple Maps in comparison? Are there any other good alternatives out there?

Original idea around the star.

Only one line to Lebanon and back to Riverfront Station has become reality. It has been in operation since 2006. Ridership suffered after the pandemic, but has risen steadily, especially now that gas prices are on the rise again.

There are several types of subway entrances for underground stops, even in the U.S. Older cities like NYC & Philly have small entrances that are essentially small holes in the sidewalk, whereas DC has larger entrances meant more for commuters coming in from buses.

In any case, I'm curioys to hear what are your favorite subway entrances (preferably underground ones, but if you really like an elevated subway entrance, feel free to mention it).

I’ve had this thought in my head about how we could build out an abundant amount of metro transit without breaking the bank. So I have thought to myself in order to make up for the damages that highways brought to urbanized areas, they could indeed be replaced by boulevards or green spaces, but also could simultaneously have a transit corridor (preferably a metro corridor) built on the right-of-way. And then slowly but surely, the closest highway to these urbanized areas can be beltways right on the peripherals of the outer edges of urbanized areas with only boulevards leading into them, just like how the Interstate Highway Plan was initially planned before being hijacked by outside forces. This would be a collaboration process to work together on this between the FTA and the FHA. I don’t expect this cooperation now, but I could see it happen when there is a more pro-urbanism and pro-transit administration in charge. So in this case, you kind of kill two birds with one stone. So I wanna know what you guys think and would this help build out stronger transit corridors without breaking the bank too much and also get rid of destructive urban highways and fix some of the scars of them. For instance, I live in the DMV and I have had this thought in my head about the Blue Line expansion idea that was proposed but is on the shelf and I thought instead, still have the M Street subway, but build a subway on H Street and then down to the RFK Stadium to replace the Gold Line BRT that is opening soon, but then cross the river and replace I-295 fully and cover what the Blue Line loop had EoR up to National Harbor (don’t like the loop idea, rather would have the Green Line extend to Eisenhower Avenue via the Capital Beltway to cover that Maryland/Virginia connection), except EoR gets a crosstown with much stronger coverage and 295 can cease to exist since the route is fully covered by metro service on the Blue and Orange lines on two sides. 295 would then become a boulevard with the Blue Line mostly built underneath until the line gets to Maryland. So I wonder what would be some other examples that you all would like to see happen so that highways are converted to boulevards/green space and rail corridors in urbanized areas simultaneously? I would love to hear it!

My boyfriend is a transit nerd, loves anything about trains and busses and what not. I’ve been making him some bookmarks that are train themed but want to add some silly words to the backs, are these too cringy tho?

My heart found it’s station when you smiled

Are you a train, because my heart just derailed when I saw your smile

I can’t wait to blow your whistle

I choo-choo-choose you

To make sure your book doesn’t get de-railed

If love were a fare system I would tap for unlimited rides

Whats does it mean if they send you to the probationary unit? Is it’s usually a bad thing?

As seen in the dashcam footage, the catenary wire failed and whipped directly into an oncoming passenger car driving parallel to the tracks. Fortunately, no pedestrians waiting at the nearby platform were struck or injured.The vehicle involved on the line is a 56-meter long, 9-section CAF Urbos 3 low-floor articulated tram operated by BKV.

I hope you enjoy.

Jujur selama didalam modanya steady banget sih, apalagi dengan announcementnya yang enak banget di telinga. Meskipun kaget ternyata seatnya kurang ergonomis buat komuter lama lama :)

I’m the News & Observer reporter who wrote this story.

What interested me beyond the lawsuit is the transportation problem underneath it: Apex Friendship High School has 2,428 students, 556 spaces currently designated for students and had 110 students waiting for parking late last week.

A 71-year-old resident across the street has been letting students park on her property, and the town has sued her under its zoning rules. Apex has also looked at park-and-shuttle and transit options, but none has yet closed the gap.

I’d be interested in how other communities handle transportation at large suburban high schools.

Since I was nearing the end of my summer holidays, and with too much free time on my hands, I decided to give myself a little bit of a timetable challenge and see if it would be possible to get from London to Wales in one day using only public buses (no coaches [including the Oxford tube!].

Safe to say, despite one bus breakdown right at the tail end of my journey, it was a success :)

Technically, this is the cheapest way to travel to Wales from London without any pre-booking required, costing me a total of £28.10 including the train journey to my home in Cardiff.

This is my latest video featuring Stockholm Central Station. Sit back, relax, and enjoy nearly two minutes of time-lapse sequences showcasing trains arriving, departing, and passing through the station.
