Fast express buses that have regular schedules can't be beat.
PVTA's G73E gets you between downtown Springfield and downtown Northampton in about a half hour, with trips departing every half hour. It takes the same amount of time to drive and you don't have to park either 😁

At least they'll be pulled by dual-mode locomotives, so electrification isn't completely out of the question someday?

Hey friends! I'm going to be in New Orleans for a few days next week.
Any recommendations on places to visit/things to do? Any interesting museums, cultural/historical sites, live music, good food/drink, tours, and of course anything transit/biking/urbanism related 😁
Thanks in advance!

You can also ValleyBike to the polls! Use promo code BIKETOVOTE for two free rides so you can get to and from the polling place. You can even use Transit app to get directions using ValleyBike, since ValleyBike hubs are visible there too!

Today is Election Day, and there are so many ways to get to the polls in the Pioneer Valley!
PVTA partnered with Transit app to display polling locations in the app, making it easy to find information and get directions by PVTA bus, biking, or walking.

From earlier this week: biking along the Pinellas Trail, it passes through downtown Tarpon Springs, FL in this interesting layout where it is situated in the median of a street with one narrow lane on either side. Felt strange at first but works surprisingly well!

Even in the snow, people (and dogs) walk. We should make sure it's safe for them too.
