DART's Silver Line is finally open! The silver line cuts across the northern suburbs of Dallas from East Plano to DFW airport, speeding up trips between suburbs and finally bringing rail service to Addison.

with a plan for 30 routes running every 10 minutes every single day, chicago has succeeded in securing funding for the most comprehensive frequent bus network in the country!

chicago's 10-m network stands out from other US cities in that the whole network runs on weekends. cities exist on weekends

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.
"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.

If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

I took some pictures of the shiny new trains last weekend while riding around during the #SilverLine grand opening.

Stadler FLIRTs look so damn good, dude. I just love these trains so much.

I'm seeing this number turn up in a few places, so I want to make this clear: 1,240 is NOT a ridership projection for the Silver Line by 2040. That number seems to refer to projected ridership from one specific station by 2040.
I did manage to find this poster for the Cityline/Bush station, which has ridership estimated at 1,240. But it looks like that number is referring to that station's ridership alone.

Every city on the line has a speaker on the program save Plano. Every DART board member is present save Plano’s. Curious! This is how they react to a massive investment in their very city?
