I slept right though that shit

they need to add passing tracks and get express trains on this monster

Docked bike share has some advantages.

a year ago i was on the verge of quitting my job in redwood city because of slow and infrequent trains, but I held out for @caltrain.com electrification. a year on from that and my commute is so easy i barely think about it

There are nerds in Japan who go around train stations helping foreigners figure out things. I kinda want to do this for BART where i tell people along the R line to get on O trains and transfer to an SF train at MacArthur since BART keeps this a secret for some reason.

my rent is now the lowest it has ever been and I am a 5 minute walk from BART. we are winning

I narrowly avoided having to drive in SF today. thank god i didn't have to

me, when I'm 123yo riding Caltrain for the last time

does ANYONE in SF want to help me move from 8:30am-12pm today? my bf landed himself in the hospital at 4am this morning and so I just lost my manpower/logistics guy for the day. plz dm me I can pay you like $100

don't go inside of cars, very tired of people doing this!

maybe we wouldn't be so upset about cars if they didn't kill and main so many people or pollute the environment and put microplastics in the air and destroy the economics and livability of our cities and put people in poverty over the costs and maintenance!

This is basically what SP wanted to do. They bought parcels along the Embarcadero between 3rd and Townsend and Market and designed 1 Market to be a train terminal. Never happened for unclear reasons to me.

Still beautiful; still one of SF’s most popular parks. Sunset Dunes forever.

perhaps it's a toxic trait of some kind but aesthetically i love the street layout of milton keynes. just look at it. weird grade separated intersections. perfectly evenly spaced roundabouts on the highway. big medians on everything

Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back. 1/3

Did a car write this

soup or visor

who cares if the highway is beloved or not it's literally been eroding away for at least 20 years and was under severe operational threat due to climate change

“Beloved” but a majority of city voters voted to transform it into an extremely popular (3rd in city) park

cars.

san mateo county please just annex the sunset i don't want to deal with it anymore

why would I need depressing national politics when I could have depressing local politics

"beloved coaster highway" I'm gonna actually vomit wtf is this reporting

Love riding BART with so many people this morning. This is the first time since pre-pandemic that there were no seats available when I boarded at El Cerrito Plaza. BART is back! Now let’s pass the 2026 regional funding measure to ensure BART can continue robust transit service.

line 6 finch west begins revenue service demonstration this saturday, the final stretch to opening. this process takes 30 days, meaning you can expect to ride the LRT in the 4th-5th week of october (barring any issues). so, line 6 is now officially ahead of line 5 to open. made that bet in 2022 🙃

hell yeah

hell yeah

Today, CER launches our paper “ElectroLink: Modern Passenger Rail Service for Southern California.” ElectroLink shows how electrification, level boarding and through running can speed up trips, improve access for all riders, and bind together the region. ⚡♿🚴 calelectricrail.org/electrolink-...

The California Legislature passed legislation today authorizing a ballot measure to create a 14-year, sub-regional sales tax in five Bay Area counties to generate revenue to support Bay Area public transportation systems. Read more: www.caltrain.com/news/califor...

it's time. I have my new apartment keys!

good morning from the 2-sutter

I don't wanna know anything anymore

looked out of the Caltrain window and got this little surprise

Here, buses can turn right from the center-running dedicated lane during an actuated phase.

Thank you to everyone who made it out to the redwoods with me this morning! It was great getting to meet so many other people excited about getting outdoors car free!

i am going to be posting really just cool transit stuff and ignoring/muting a lot of other stuff going on. I'm still going to be engaged politically but i really wanna bring my page back to why I started it in the first place. it brings me a lot of joy to document my SF transit experience

I adore my Noe Valley backyard. But I'd welcome 10-storey neighbors if we could continue to welcome every next generation of newcomers. Because newcomers are what I love most about my city

I forget sometimes how genuinely awful and confusing it is to try and take the N from Caltrain 7:30 and 8:10 am on the weekend... You've got owl buses on Townsend, regular and short trains from 4th, and regular trains from King all leaving at the same time

if you ever think you were terrible as a teenager my friend and i once (justifiably) hated someone and so we signed them up for scientology under the name "coom dumpster"

i was having some feelings but now i have a banh mi instead
