Very much 'we spared no expense' vibes from the new shelters at the NJ Transit bus terminal in Hoboken These are Landscape Forms' Connect 2.0 shelters designed by Designworks, the same BMW Group division that did the styling of the new BART trains

@outfrontmediausa.bsky.social @mtalirr.bsky.social the OFM ad panels in car 7571 are all oriented in the wrong direction and showing content like this

Spotted the LIRR Holiday Lights train laying over at Jamaica! This is the first time the LIRR is doing this www.mta.info/press-releas...

MBTA, Keolis complete rail replacement on Fairmount Line in advance of battery-electric multiple unit (BEMU) operations, although the procurement process just began last January | Trains Magazine - www.trains.com/pro/maintena...

Zohran adding YIMBYs to his transition team is resulting in some absolutely incredible Left NIMBY crashouts over on Twitter. This is my favorite.

WE WANT TRAINS! The public is sending a message: Amtrak is setting ridership records, carrying 34.5 million passengers in fiscal year 2024-25, while ticket revenue is $2.764 billion. www.trains.com/pro/passenge...

a few pictures from the second day of celebrations for the extension of the rem. cdpq infra built 50 km of rapid transit in less than 8 years and at a cost of 128 million dollars per km. and there’s more to come!

Ran into [REDACTED] on le REM

The Québec pension fund, Caisse de Dépôts, did it again: they soft opened the Deux-Montagnes branch of REM, an automated train, yesterday.

Also worth noting how REM has elegantly they're able to declutter overhead cable runs by consolidating everything into neat utility conduits combined with lighting This is easy when you're doing greenfield construction and major station rebuild projects but I feel like you can also plan this

I'm just noticing all the REM stations actually don't have central HVAC — they're fully enclosed but costs seem to be kept simple with fans for circulation, radiant heaters for warmth, and louvers and louvered windows for passive circulation

If I haven't said it before, the stations are beautifully simple with high quality finishes

Some signage including elevator screens on these Otis elevators on REM

Fun random transit facility things at Deux-Montagnes aujourd'hui

Allons-y ! À Deux-Montagnes 🥹

Just found a Navilens code at Bonaventure station and it simply says...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Has anyone yet come up with a computational method to analyze street networks to rate streets within them on a scale of servability by fixed route bus transit? Ie is there a way to visualize and assess the percent of streets in a region with residents who can't effectively be served by bus routes?

Oh if the state of these flags isn't an apt metaphor for the state of America and this Six Flags 🫣🫠

I think the real question is: is the 20% increase in non-paying riders mostly people who were riding and paying before? Or some of the previous riders aren't riding anymore and some new riders aren't paying (and wouldn't ride if they had to)?

My political platform is that we should be building 50 subway lines, millions of housing units, tens of thousands of bike lanes and dozens of nuclear power plants all at the same time.

The 115-year-old Hudson River Tunnel requires regular repairs and continues to degrade each year. The project could have been complete by now if Trump weren’t complicating the funding. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports: trib.al/jozNNsm

The long-awaited REM extension to Montreal’s North Shore is scheduled to begin on Nov. 17, adding 14 new stations to the network.

Spotted the Cascades trainset in the Philly yard My first time seeing a Siemens Venture cab car in person

Are anticlimbers between cars on open gangway trainsets typically this chonky? The TTC Rocket doesn't have these as far as I could see Is this required because of how far apart the cars are on R211 for tight curves?

Does anyone know what this device on the R211T is? There's two in each car on the bench opposite the yellow priority seating area and there's a ladder sticker at this door

Federal agents tear gassing the Lake View neighborhood.

Absolutely epic atmosphere in Queens this evening

CC: DC friends and folks in and around transportation. This is easily one of the most fun (un)conferences I’ve ever attended. I’m looking forward to the NYC edition later this month!

Excellent news!

transportation camp is a highlight of my year and I look forward to its return!!

Our Green Line Type 10s will be localized variants of CAF's Urbos LRVs... When I see these elsewhere, I'm constantly left wondering how we landed ourselves with such an insane center & front section seating config... Did we tell CAF 'latitudinal seating only'?!

Can we add flex posts or something here at Medford St on N Washington St @boston.gov @streets.boston.gov? There are constantly drivers making illegal lefts like this car, rushing against oncoming traffic, often dashing in front of my 111 bus as fellow riders & I are trying to cross Medford St

“South Shore had been a landing spot for many Venezuelans when tens of thousands of migrants were bused from the Southern border to Chicago and other Democrat-led cities.” How traumatic for those poor people to be used as a political pawn not once, but twice. Absolutely awful.

Anyone have any pictures/videos of the new LCD screens that were installed on some San Diego trolleys recently?

Alviti must go.

Nearly 15 years later and this @streetfilms.bsky.social video about open transit data makes me feel so nostalgic for the optimism of Gov 2.0 - and so many familiar faces! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf2K... On-vehicle open data for interoperability is the next frontier!

Just Randy and Phil hanging out chatting transit like you do 🤝

Long but hopefully fulfilling transit nerd thread incoming: I want to talk about that I’m super proud of, and which is a culmination of things we’ve done in the past as well as things I’ve seen elsewhere that I wanted to bring home to Chicago: New digital at RPM stations that we hope to expand!

The local news segment about the Mardi Gras inaugural service in which I go full NPC in the background not realizing I'm on live TV youtu.be/PVU0NiDzGqQ?...

If your mayor, or some other leader, is talking about ripping out safe, protected bike-lanes, please read and share this thread.

"No more fumbling for that Clipper card (if you can find it). Starting Aug. 20, you can pay your BART fare the same way you pay for that morning coffee — with a quick tap of a debit or credit card." sfstandard.com/2025/08/13/b...

Justice for sandwich bro!
