Any interest in a #transittech feed and/or starter pack to make sure the signal is stronger for real people doing real work to make transit ops and rider info better and overpowers the noise of gadgetbahns?
So apparently there's a decent amount of interest!
✋ if you work in this space and would like to be added to a starter pack
Would love to continue raising awareness of these careers and key needs in transit

Has anyone yet come up with a computational method to analyze street networks to rate streets within them on a scale of servability by fixed route bus transit?
Ie is there a way to visualize and assess the percent of streets in a region with residents who can't effectively be served by bus routes?

I think the real question is: is the 20% increase in non-paying riders mostly people who were riding and paying before? Or some of the previous riders aren't riding anymore and some new riders aren't paying (and wouldn't ride if they had to)?
An interesting investigation in @upshot.nytimes.com today evaluating some of the challenges to improving buses in NYC—whether through speed or fares www.nytimes.com/interactive/... (gift link!)
Interesting tidbit: Bus ridership is basically back to pre-pandemic levels—but fare payment is way down.

My political platform is that we should be building 50 subway lines, millions of housing units, tens of thousands of bike lanes and dozens of nuclear power plants all at the same time.

The 115-year-old Hudson River Tunnel requires regular repairs and continues to degrade each year. The project could have been complete by now if Trump weren’t complicating the funding. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports:

Another Rail Headache for New York and New Jersey, Courtesy of Trump - The American Prospect
The Gateway Program aims to bring the New York metro section of the nation’s rail infrastructure into the 21st century, but President Trump has threatened to terminate the project, blaming "DEI" and the government shutdown.

Are anticlimbers between cars on open gangway trainsets typically this chonky?
The TTC Rocket doesn't have these as far as I could see
Is this required because of how far apart the cars are on R211 for tight curves?

This is easily one of the most fun (un)conferences I’ve ever attended. I’m looking forward to the NYC edition later this month!

Our Green Line Type 10s will be localized variants of CAF's Urbos LRVs... When I see these elsewhere, I'm constantly left wondering how we landed ourselves with such an insane center & front section seating config... Did we tell CAF 'latitudinal seating only'?!

Can we add flex posts or something here at Medford St on N Washington St @boston.gov @streets.boston.gov?
There are constantly drivers making illegal lefts like this car, rushing against oncoming traffic, often dashing in front of my 111 bus as fellow riders & I are trying to cross Medford St
