This is kinda insane to me, even the Purple Line here in Maryland which has a few sections of mixed running is expected to take about that long to go *26* km.

DC has the same at a few intersections, though they don't feel well implemented.

Just have the trains blow through the intersections no matter what. Drivers will get used to that pretty quick and then the train will be faster.

Even with EVs getting attacked, there should be a lot of demand for grid storage. Can even do it like Texas and do battery storage for gas plants if renewables are cut back. Hopefully there's enough demand for continued battery production.

They're saying the *current count* shifted, not the tally compared to previous votes (like 2024). They're still counting votes so the tally is shifting.

If they were really serious about what they talk about, they'd at least plan to build it on the nearby rail line (or build a new branch line to the site).

Core capacity. Almost all 15 branches converge in the CBD on either 4 single track loops thru the CBD or 2 thru running tracks, limiting capacity. This adds two new tracks that 3 branches (4 eventually) will use, and effectively deinterlines them. Other lines will use the old capacity fired up.

It's crazy how much growth bikeshare and mocromobility is seeing everywhere. From the US to Canada to Europe, they're all seeing explosive growth. One of the most underrated positive trends in urbanism imo.

Man the burgers at DC9 are some of the best I've ever had, and they rotate in new burgers fairly frequently. Honestly a huge factor in why I go to the Survivor watch parties there.

The recent actions in New York fighting even one person operations, let alone automation, feels so stark compared to DC where WMATA has announced plans to completely automate and has largely gotten strong backing from the region's leaders.

The 2055 System Plan (which is what the vote was based on) uses graphics of DMUs and says frequency will be every 30 minutes peak and hourly all other times, with bidirectional service.
