@stacos.bsky.social BFD is responding for a person under the train.

Drumroll, please... The first new Amtrak Cascades train is leaving the Siemens manufacturing facility in Sacramento today and heading to Pueblo, CO for testing! Following a year-long testing journey, they’ll arrive home to the PNW in 2026—stay tuned for more photos! #trains #PNW

As another National Train Day passes, the bittersweet reminder that a talented artist, J. Craig Thorpe, has more vision than every single president, representative, and Amtrak appointee since 1971 about what US railroad infrastructre already should be, not some distant hope.

The DOGE vision for government technology involves centralizing Americans’ private data. But this isn’t a new idea: it’s one that has been considered, reconsidered, and left alone many times over the years—for good reasons.

"Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways"

Last month, eager locals celebrated the arrival of the South Coast Rail service. Since then, issues have cropped up on the commuter line.

"Our government needs to stop supporting billionaires and start supporting farmers."

@planetside2.bsky.social Dude Connery is unplayable. We had an alert at 7pm US Eastern and the the server crashed and continues to crash. Pop has not gotten above 94 players. We cannot get past the launcher and there's no errors. If we get past the launcher we end up crashing in sanctuary.

The NYU-Marron report on electrification is out: It pairs electrification and other components to develop a high-throughput infrastructure design framework, which slashes time off of existing commuter and inter-city passenger rail services. We call it Momentum -- transitcosts.com/wp-content/u...

To the random guy playing Hey Jude on the clarinet at north station. I appreciate you. #boston #mbta @universalhub.com

DOGE disbanded a team dedicated to government efficiency—something Elon Musk claims to want to promote. “It’s chaotic, and it feels like it’s chaotic on purpose,” a former 18F worker told Matteo Wong. theatln.tc/OYxvGdvb

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

I have written a short statement responding to mass firings today of #NOAA / National Weather Service (#NWS) staff (which were concentrated among recent hires as well as highly experienced staff who had recently been promoted). Please see below screenshot & below for full text.

This is really funny because after congestion pricing launched and the haters were instantly proved wrong — traffic really did go down, transit use really did go up — they clung to "well let's see the business receipts!" as a last resort. And now we know business receipts are through the roof!

A heat pump pilot in public housing delivers happy residents and massive savings.

South Station concourse looking good! Construction of the elevators and escalators to the expanded bus terminal is still ongoing.

@stacos.bsky.social Sounds like another jumper on the tobin SB. @fire.boston.gov reporting victim is in the water. #boston #5:53pm

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge. We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style Here’s the details 🧵

Aye @mbta.com what the hell #mapoli 30 MINUTES???

🚨 Two USAID security officials placed on leave after refusing DOGE personnel access to agency systems, despite threats by DOGE personnel to involve law enforcement. (CNN)

"The City of Somerville received a $43.2 million capital construction grant from the Reconnecting Communities grant program to build its long-planned McGrath Boulevard project." Does this mean what I think it does???? Is it finally happening???

Smile, Gov. Healey Signs Bus Lane Camera Enforcement Bill - mass.streetsblog.org/2025/01/10/s...

Kudos to Andrew from Watertown for asking the Governor whether she'd sign the bus camera bills during her Wednesday appearance on @wgbh.org at the BPL: #mapoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaUc...

Oohhhhh @mbta.bsky.social if you're going to have Greenline down you need better headway than this. It started at 12min. #mbta

A 1940s report recommended a major expansion of the MBTA's rapid transit system to area suburbs. “People living in the suburbs of Boston would find that rapid transit would give them faster, cheaper & more comfortable service than they can expect to get from their automobiles."

A lot of these sites support rss feeds... I will do it myself then for bsky.

The City of #Boston and @mbta.bsky.social have released updated concept designs for their Blue Hill Ave. redesign. Its center-running bus lanes could save thousands of hours every day for bus riders in Dorchester and Mattapan: mass.streetsblog.org/2024/11/08/c...

I wish more people I followed on twitter were on here.
