I push transit to its limits, while attempting to be entertaining.
🚨 MILES IN TRANSIT SHOW THIS FRIDAY IN WEST PHILLY!!!!!! @64streetcar.bsky.social is also doing a set of songs from his upcoming solo album that releases THAT DAY, and apparently I might be playing percussion on it???

It's a basement show, so DM me for the address!

This week, a very special transit system turns 50! If you've never heard of the Morgantown PRT, this is what they thought the future of transportation would be in the 70s. It's WILD! youtu.be/08HNZbxfai4

New bonus video on Patreon! As we speak, JetBlue's Embraers have just one more round trip before retirement, so I wanted to document my final ride on one from a month ago.

Amtrak Share Fares are extremely overpowered.

"When are you going to play another show?" Next week!! It's a West Philly basement show and due to noise considerations, it'll be a "stripped-down" show with just me and @64streetcar.bsky.social keyboard genius!

"DM for addy" as the poster says - I'll try to reply as quickly as I'm able.

Man, 10 out of 10, huh? Total bottom of the barrel? I could've just filmed another zero-effort uncut video and had better results?

Haven't had views go against expectations SO hard in a while...I was proud of this one! Oh well, fickle nature of the algorithm, I guess!

WHO DID THIS
August 9, 2025 at 4:52 AM
The rules stated that we needed to get from the Mexican border to the Canadian border on local transit...it said nothing about needing to bail into a car once on the Canadian side to get to YVR in time because the last bus was so late!

Thanks for the lift, Arden from The Greater Discussions on YT!

WE MADE IT
August 5, 2025 at 2:33 AM
Whatcom Transit 75A
Vehicles: 42
Fare: $0.00 (daily cap?) ($157.60 total)

OKAY IT JUST SHOWED UP ONLY A FEW MINUTES LATE AND ALSO THE READER DIDN'T CHARGE US FOR SOME REASON THIS IS IT THIS IS THE LAST BUS!!!!!!
August 5, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Whatcom Transit 80X
Vehicles: 41
Fare: $1.00 ($157.60 total)

The UMO reader only charged $1 for some reason, even though this route is meant to cost $2! Anyway...fingers crossed this thing is less than eight minutes late. We're leaving on time, so good start, knock on wood!

Meal of shame
August 4, 2025 at 11:26 PM
Skagit Transit 90X
Vehicles: 40
Fare: $2.00 ($156.60 total)

The Seattle foamers are heading back home but we persist, along with a new friend Bruce who's coming with us to Bellingham! It's a suburban Gillig.
August 4, 2025 at 10:14 PM
And yes, we did take the foamer seats!
August 4, 2025 at 9:33 PM
Sound Transit 512
Vehicles: 39
Fare: $3.00 ($154.60 total)

We could've taken the 201 or 202, but you know we had to spend the extra 50 cents to get on THIS guy!
August 4, 2025 at 9:25 PM
Sound Transit 1 Line
Vehicles: 38
Fare: $0.00 (transfer) ($151.60 total)

Our 594 had to detour off the highway because of an overturned semi so we had a tight run to the 1 Line! So no photos of the vehicle alas, but I'm glad we made it!
August 4, 2025 at 8:28 PM
We've got a real foamer squadron here coming into Seattle!
August 4, 2025 at 7:49 PM
Sound Transit 594
Vehicles: 37
Fare: $3.00 ($151.60 total)

After so many days of minibuses and Gilligs and whatever other crap, finally we have an XCELSIOR - and an articulated one at that! Helllllll yeah!
August 4, 2025 at 7:07 PM
Intercity Transit 620
Vehicles: 36
Fare: $0.00 ($148.60 total)

We ended up being able to get an earlier 620 than anticipated, which should help us avoid the extremely tight transfer I had written for Seattle! Things are looking good!
August 4, 2025 at 6:01 PM
Lewis County Transit Green
Vehicles: 35
Fare: $0.00 ($148.60 total)

This might be the most wild transit center I've ever been to - the local Gillig buses board at real berths but the rural minibuses have to stop in the parking lot! This (more proper) minibus gets us to Olympia.
August 4, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Surprisingly not jiggly!
August 4, 2025 at 4:07 PM
Lewis County Transit Purple
Vehicles: 34
Fare: $0.00 ($148.60 total)

Goodness, I can't say I was expecting the jankest vehicle of the entire trip to show up! We are literally at the full capacity of 6, including two others besides us who came from Vancouver!
August 4, 2025 at 4:03 PM
River Cities Transit 45
Vehicles: 33
Fare: $0.00 (transfer) ($148.60 total)

This is just a quick 10-minute jaunt across the river to Kelso where our next transfer is! 4 out of the 5 other passengers also came from Vancouver!
August 4, 2025 at 3:35 PM
River Cities Transit 511
Vehicles: 32
Fare: $1.00 ($148.60 total)

We're looking at a pretty busy minibus for the next hour! This used to be run by a social services group of all things, but they ran out of funding and...probably for the better, a real transit agency took over!
