No more empty trains: China tightens rules on subway expansions to curb debt
Rich hubs, including Ningbo and Suzhou, are hitting regulatory roadblocks as the central government prioritises fiscal discipline over infrastructure-led growth.

Queens residents — especially those in the Rockaways — need another train line. Streetsblog contributor Samuel Santaella hopes that the new mayor will put his weight behind the concept.

The bill on Hochul's desk mandating 2PTO on the MTA, Assembly Bill A4873, still hasn't been vetoed. If it's not by the end of the day it will automatically be law and worsen service on small shuttle trains and off-peak services as a result
Call her office at (518) 474-8390 and demand she veto this

If the worst single-family house in your n’hood costs over $1 million, then your n’hood should be zoned for apartment buildings.

NYC got way too clean and safe over the past few administrations. Glad to see we are bringing some Mad Max style edge back.

Nearly every NYC subway station will get spikes, paddles to combat fare evasion
The MTA said the equipment has led to a 60% reduction in turnstile jumping.

I would once again like to point out to anyone complaining about MTA service to literally just look at New Jersey.
TIL that the 'Transitway', NJ Transit's plan to boost transit capacity to MetLife Stadium during the FIFA World Cup, which they are calling "light rail without the tracks", is actually just "running some shuttle buses on local roads". The original plan for dedicated busways was not implemented.
Original plan on left, actual plan on right

I'm seeing a lot of complaints about the F/M swap that could all be addressed by adding a couple more trains per hour like was promised. Deinyerlining won't work with LESS service.

IMO: Transit advocates need to ask why the R268 order isn’t being used in part to flip all the lines where the open gangway trains have been tested over to the new technology, the G and the C. And then push the R211s assigned to those routes elsewhere.

If we only replaced every single-story commercial tax-payer building next to a subway station with housing, we could actually solve a lot of the demand without having to kick people out of their homes.
In my neighborhood, most new housing has replaced garages, auto repair places and empty lots. Very few, if any, of the new builds have replaced existing housing. That's how you fight displacement. The problem is that the pace citywide isn't keeping up demand.
