Fix it please

It’s the weekend, you know what that means: a bunch of dummies crowding the doors inside and out on the E train

keep honking i’m seein’ my opportunities and takin’ em

has the GOP thought to run curtis sliwa? i think he’d pull reagan numbers in 2028

I apologize for my grave and offensive mistake. It’s obviously babies, not sheet metal.

That Xochitl Gonzalez (b. 1977) article today on smoking is a real triumph for the "still eating lead paint" generation.

The G train is undergoing signal modernization (and infrastructure repair), so I made this logo to help communicate that to riders

Scoop from WIRED's @aarianmarshall.bsky.social: First responders have warned feds that Waymo is backsliding. Head of San Francisco emergency mgmt: “We are actually seeing something interesting: backsliding of some things that had [been] improved upon. They are committing more traffic violations.”

Good policy alert www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think it is good that NJ Transit will be charging wealthy ticket holders going to see a prestige sporting event at great cost to the host state a substantially higher fare, especially considering how much this is all disrupting normal service.

Talked to a guy on the train today who worked at Cisco translating engineer speak into things their salespeople could say. Need him to work in CBTC badly

If I were a somewhat major figure in the online public transportation scene (cursed), I would not doom post about how one bad project that everyone agreed is bad made me loose my interest in public transportation. That’s lame behavior.

Hell yeah dude

“they’re the ones that fund the MTA.” most certainly not!

I suspect Julie Menin spends her free time eating sheet metal

Breaking, from me: Sources show that the Interborough Express (IBX) rail line will be operated by MTA Regional Bus, a little known MTA operating agency. This comes amid speculation about operation of the line, whether it will be contracted, and what crewing will look like.

Streetsblog Empire posting a piece that makes a lot of easily discredited claims about the Newburgh Beacon ferry and bus service is disappointing. The new bus is a huge improvement over the ferry, in terms of both departures and service span

People making faces at Melania documentary ads on the Outfront screens in midtown, lol

Cubic Systems of San Diego has received an award from the Civic Software Institute for their monumental achievements with Clipper 2, including being the first fare system to use a single JSON file as a database. Congratulations to everyone at MTC and Cubic on this achievement!

If you preach specifically at queer people at Penn Station you are allowed to be thrown onto 21 track

NJT and Amtrak cancelling everything over a foot or two of snow is really pathetic and unacceptable. The LIRR is still pumping out trains without problems.

The Flushing & Workzone Railroad

"Urbanist" as a LinkedIn headline just means "unemployed consultant" right?

I’d like a word with whoever put a work zone on the entirety of the flushing line in queens.

Hopefully Deutschreichbahn is hiring in 2 years so Andy Byford can get a job

Andy Byford seems like a slimy, unscrupulous, opportunistic motherfucker.

NYT: someone died after a gun was involved in a federal agent situation in Minnesota FT:

Convinced BART's LinkedIn presence is just ragebait

From trying and observing all the pilot fare gates so far, here's my ranking: 1. Conduent 2. STraffic 3. No build - current turnstiles 4. No turnstiles 5. Heat death of the universe 7. Cubic

You know you’re cooking when the scheming switches from Teams to Signal

Arresting your server is the definition of ho scaring behavior. I know these guys are all the most divorced guys of all time, but fellas are you even trying?

The post calling Mamdani “Zo” just makes him sound like a sweet little old man

The “I will invade you!” to “let me instead inflict economic damage unto myself” pipeli–oh, what’s that? It’s called being a “cow hard?”

“Real” Americans live in New York and board their Amtrak trains from the Exit Concourse.

CPUC: if a train were to enter a station at more than 36 mph, a passenger standing at the rear of the platform may experience unsafe acceleration of the head and neck trying to keep their eyes on the front train. This represents an unacceptable risk to safety. Additionally, train must ding.

“Alstom’s Thunder Bay facility” is almost as evil sounding as “Union Pacific’s Horseshoe Curve”

BREAKING from me: Governor Hochul announces plan to extend Second Avenue Subway train to Fort Lee, “the people of New Jersey have been waiting for this.”

It seems Mr Service Cuts does like service cuts

Who is Priya and why is she ruining my railroad!!

I wish I could make as compelling of a case for closed loop fare systems as open loop systems make themselves.

If you are going to make claims about things the government is doing wrong, at least do a second of research or critical thinking so you don't say something stupid.

Eric Adams has left the table of success without tipping

This looks like shit, eh? @interurbanera.bsky.social

Since Mamdani won the Dem NYC mayor nomination with a free bus proposal, let's talk about free transit. Research suggests that free transit: a—increases ridership b—doesn't get people out of cars c—benefits youth, elderly & low-income ppl d—doesn't add employment e—maybe ups operational efficiency

I'm pouring through the UP-NS merger application, will post interesting finds here

Looks like WMATA is looking to begin detailed service simulation in HASTUS, according to this procurement for network modeling services

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

A4873 is dead. A very good afternoon to Kathy Hochul.
