  2. A friend just showed me the latest Metrolink map. Holy shit, Perris and Mo Val. got stops! That’s big.

    That woulda been so game changing when I was living there. No interest in going back to Perris, but hope it’s the win I think it is for the town.

  3. Архитектура MassTransit: как устроена библиотека под капотом

    Мне давно было интересно, как устроена библиотека MassTransit изнутри. Хотелось разобраться в её архитектуре, понять, как она развивалась, и почему порой в ней бывает непросто ориентироваться. Если вам тоже интересно, что скрывается за consumers, publishers и sagas - приглашаю к чтению.

  4. This is gadgetbahn gold by @philip

    In the 1950s, the Victorian government was seriously considering a 40-seat helicopter bus service from the roof of Southern Cross Station to Moorabbin and Essendon Airports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9Ybkpk3KaU

    It also predicted that, by 2003, helipads would be built all over Melbourne for the thousands of people commuting by helicopter bus each day.

    Needless to say, it never happened.

  8. “It has not only saved DART, it has saved regional transportation.”

    Behind the plan to save DART: How the transit agency reversed its fate in 120 days

    The toughest part was crafting a deal that worked for all of DART’s 13 member cities, not just the ones threatening to leave. Cities were often focused on what was in it for them.

  10. Something Surprising Happens When Bus Rides Are Free
    nytimes.com/2026/02/13/opinion

    Free buses? Really? Of all the promises that #ZohranMamdani made during his #NYC mayoral campaign, that one struck some skeptics as the most frivolous leftist fantasy. Unlike housing, groceries and child care, which weigh heavily on New Yorkers’ finances, a #bus ride is just a few bucks. Is it really worth the huge effort to spare people that tiny outlay?

    It is. Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety.

    If free buses strike you as wasteful, you’re not alone. Plenty of the beneficiaries would be people who can afford to pay. Does it make sense to give them a freebie? Yes, if it improves the life of the city, just as free parks, libraries and public schools do. Don’t think of it as a giveaway to the undeserving.

  11. Man playing country music out loud from his phone on the bus.

    I hope he gets home to discover that his dog won't hunt, his truck won't start, his wife has run off with the pastor after draining every last drop of liquor in the house, and that he can't even shoot himself because his gun is jammed.

  12. Government ministers should be forced to use public transport so that the government would have more motivation to improve public transport infrastructure.

  14. Average bus stop shelter (and sidewalk) around here10 days after a winter storm - big by local standards but not unmanageable. This is Suffolk Transit (Suffolk County #LongIsland #NewYork). The building managers of the abutting property cleared the sidewalk on one side of the property per local codes, but not this side. They're not responsible for the shelter. Will update when story is published.

  16. Heads up, fellow poor Utah peeps!

    I wasn't aware until just the other day but UTA has expanded their "reduced fare" program with the FarePay cards. If your annual income is approximately $30k or less, you can get the reduced fare of $1 and pay a maximum of $2/day for regular bus service and a weekly cap of $8.

    While I'd prefer that we didn't charge for public transit at all in this country, $1 per trip is definitely a game-changer. I was just approved and my card should be arriving soon.

    I've had multitudes of criticism for UTA over the years but I've got to admit this is a very positive step in the right direction for once.

    I'm certainly more willing to overlook the time, hassle and still-lacking service coverage to ride the bus if the price makes it worth it.

    I am a little startled to think that I make more than double the minimum wage and I still fall just low enough on the "poverty line" to qualify for reduced transit fare.

  18. Addison leaders reject an election to leave DART 🚌 🚋 🚏

    Addison City Council voted 4-3 not to call a spring election to withdraw from DART. The agency recently began its new Silver Line commuter rail service, which includes a stop in Addison.

  19. Palo Alto is a land of contrasts, but really it's a land of "This is what happens when you let private equity decide what your town is gonna be."

    On the one hand: ample access to rideshare and some of the biggest names in research in town.

    On the other hand: just walking anywhere is a tedious chore, walking past rows upon rows of businesses competing directly with each other (because they want to be the place you could drive thirty seconds to instead of your destination, as opposed to a mix of resources that you see in a place where people walk to stuff and want to take care of task B while they're standing next to the service provider for task A). And as an out-of-towner, I've discovered that the mass transit support is drastically worse than back home. The website doesn't let you buy a card online, their digital wallet solution was an Android app that's no longer supported...

    Bus stop's right there but I can't pay to use the damn bus without driving to a place that'll set me up with an access card, so..............

    Nice place to visit but I don't think I'd ever want to live here.

  20. The Guardian: Warsaw opens metro station ‘express’ library to get commuters off their phones. “An ‘express’ library has opened in a new metro station in Warsaw, aiming to provide an appealing cultural space to encourage residents and commuters to forgo smartphones in favour of books and, thanks to fresh herbs growing in a vertical garden, a dash of subterranean greenery too.”

  22. SwissInfo: All aboard? Let the yodelling begin with ‘Sämi the singing driver’. “‘Sämi, will you yodel for us?’ asks a little boy, striped shirt and cowhide belt tightly around his waist, as soon as he gets on board. This request is repeated three times. Then, after picking up the last tourist, Zumbrunn sings a yodel and immediately the buzz on the bus dies down. While the last notes are […]

  23. Gothamist: ‘If you hear something, free something’: What’s behind new sound at NYC’s subway stations. “Most of the announcements are around 30 seconds long. Some are voiced by professional actors, and others by everyday New Yorkers whom Bass recruited through a grassroots casting process. Some announcements sound like poetry, while some sound like overhearing a conversation. Some are personal […]

  24. Here is what I have as the line, routes in each direction, and a common/vulgar name for each stop vicinity.
    Now I think there could be a separate linked list for the general name, in addition to the street/side tied to sign ID.
