  1. "Subway Builder: because who wouldn't want to spend their free time drowning in the bureaucratic misery and soul-crushing costs of urban transit planning? 🚇💸 Finally, a game that lets you live out your wildest spreadsheets-and-red-tape fantasies! 🙄"

  2. Stockholm is getting its second subway station with exits in two different Cities. And this one even has two exits from the same ticket hall going to different Cities.
    The older one goes to the cities of Solna and Sundbyberg, the new one to the cities of Solna and Stockholm.

  3. Did you know that you can purchase an electric vehicle for as little as $1,000?

    Not only that, these vehicles also:
    - Can skip traffic jams
    - Be parked virtually anywhere
    - Get over 1,000 mpge
    - Emits no harmful air pollution
    - Don't require a government permit or expensive insurance
    - Can easily be repaired by yourself, and don't require long waits at expensive dealerships
    - Include optional exercise equipment, allowing you to choose to get exercise while in transit (if you want) and skip the gym membership
    - Can be operated by people of almost any age, so your kids can now transport themselves

    What is this vehicle I'm describing? Some sort of newfangled flying car? A quantum teleporter?

    No: It is the humble electric bicycle.

    Spread the word.

  4. Cool, vintage drawing of the NYC/NJ PATH train system's network of tunnels. Seeing this reminded me of a gushing blog post I wrote for WFMU more than 16 (gasp!) years ago about the PATH, which is still online here: blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2008/01

  6. Last day in Vienna. Explored via the U-Bahn and trams. Great day with excellent coffee and pastries as well.

    Traveling in Europe shows how bad public transport is in most UK cities. Vienna - integrated transit system with a bus/tram/train every 5 mins. UK - a bus every 20 mins, if it shows up. Let’s not get started on the miles of cycle lanes across the city.

  7. ‘To help make connections: name 5–7 things that interest you but aren’t in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.’

    OK, I’ll try to choose things that aren’t in *any* of my fediverse profiles! Hmm 🤔

    How about #biology, #HumanComputerInteraction, #learning, #mindfulness, #philosophy, #psychology and #UrbanDesign for starters?

  8. @mikemccaffrey Makes wonder about Jantzen Beach…the north terminus? I know very early on Woodlawn (now the triangle) provided an overnight stop on the way to Vancouver. #trolleys #trams #trains #parks #publicTransportation #urbanTransit #PDX #Portland

  9. Paris votes to ban rental electric scooters. Failure of the commercial model, classic French conservatism, or does this alternative short-range transit alternative just not work? Thoughts?
