Heading back to the airport via DART. I've noticed it's been getting easier to convince people to take transit vs Uber and it's mostly a function of Uber's insane cost. Wondering if we'll see a new ride share service that optimises low cost over convenience. 🤔

Nobody takes pot shots at Lubic! 🥂

Dart #SilverLine seating is quite comfortable, I assume to compensate for the disappointing speeds 😒

Thanks DART. You schedule the red line to miss an hourly Silver Line departure by 1 and 3 minutes. The Silver Line has one job and it's to make Red and Green Line connections!!! It's called a timed transfer!

The constant churn of D.C. mayors from 2007-2015 and activist council members doomed the DC streetcar far more than the shared travel lanes or inflexibility of the mode. I do agree with @humantransit.bsky.social's recent posts that getting to a viable opening segment is also a major factor.

Hot take, this is more important for accessibility than being able to wheel oneself to the dining car.

Turns out it didn't have legs

I just saw that Port Henry was the least used Amtrak Station in New York State. It's also the northernmost station one can reliably day trip on the Adirondack. (Something I did to ride the great dome without paying for a hotel night.) Hint hint @milesintransit.com

YOOOOOOO! I had heard the rumors and was hoping for Evil of the Daleks, but the fact that it's a Hartnell find AND part of a long serial is great! www.bbc.com/news/article...

From my newest (and first!) substack post open.substack.com/pub/adenyaco...

. @mtalirr.bsky.social conductor 2051 is scanning tickets before the train even leaves Penn Station on the 12:17p to Ronkonkoma... Got to rack up more of those mobile ticket late activation $$$$$urchaeges when the train hasn't even departed yet!

New Rochelle is for lovers. 💕

Well it's been a long journey from Mystic to Metropark...

Progress tree! ⚡👍😏

Leftists and Democrats should remember that Trump could do the things that they aren't capable of. That's why the electorate turned to him.

If you want to oppose Trump go nuts, but make sure you don't in any way apologize for the Ayatollah or the Iranian regime. Those assholes killed 30,000 of their own people a month ago. If Trump is a useful idiot, so be it.

New 'Ride the D' Metro shirts sold out almost immediately. Because of course they did

Except that the station tracks at major terminals are ~1400' long. That's 16 cars and locomotives total. Summer Zephyr set is 12. That leaves space for just 2 or 3 more if Amtrak wants to keep room for a DoT, PV or business car. The sleeper and lounge space will take it on the chin.

From what I heard Cuomo was heavily involved with putting New York state theming on transit projects.

you don't have to like it, but this is what peak progressivism looks like the left will go so much farther if it embraces patriotism and joy as a rallying cry to aspire for the country to be better

The Saratoga Springs Amtrak station is getting the high level platform treatment. Hopefully the new layout will support train storage for commuter or tourist services.

A lot of NE Regional consists are running reversed these days so party like it's 2015.

Keep looking in that rear view mirror Hempstead 🫡

Was looking to connect the MFL to PATCOs 30 min headway, but the MFL is fucked. Just paid a fare to wind up walking in the rain. Platform signs aren't even estimating a time. Worst part is I could have likely caught patco walking directly from 30th st.

Made my first trip to the High Bridge today.

I'm having a "but sometimes" furnace failure right now, but I remembered my @techconnectify.bsky.social and turned off the humidifier, which absorbs heat energy, and just started boiling water in my electric pitcher to both heat and humidify the house.

Looks like the wrong kind of snow on the NEC melted and refroze into the right kind of snow.

Oh cool, they modified the BWI bike trail for cross country skiing. 🎿

One thing I realized is the timing of the pol board being opened after the Epstein meeting is that it occurred one month into the occupy wall street protests that 4chan played a role in promoting and organizing. It's like the oligarch class wanted to takeover that ability to serve their interests.

Not having point heating in Georgia is certainly a choice #CSX.

Strange pairing of state historic markers I randomly encountered on my trip this weekend.
