The Broadway upzoning passes the land use commission 15-2. Loud cheers break out

In NYC, the OMNY system (same vender as Chicago’s Ventra system!) charges the same price regardless of how you pay (no OMNY card or pre-paid fares required) AND caps the fare cost so you never pay more than the price of a weekly pass.

“Pay as you go” (PAYGO) fares will be $3 on both bus and rail, requiring you to open a Ventra account and load pre-paid fare value for the best price. This goes against the entire point of having an “open fare” system if you penalize riders for taking advantage of the “open” part.

PJM acting like that first-year Chicagoan who foolishly takes out their window unit after the first cool stretch in early September.

I feel like I’ve gotten more hourly price alert notifications this month than I did during peak summer.

Unfortunately that one has been there for years, I’ve seen it before. 😔 I recall CTA installing some when they planned rear door boarding during Covid. Good news is that all the newest buses are pre-wired for rear door readers.

These turned out fantastic. I love seeing that green checkmark every time I walk into Bryn Mawr, assuring me I’m not going to encounter an unexpected situation. Great work!

I noticed the same thing last Saturday! I was trying to figure out where we were while stopped for single tracking. “Oh, somewhere in this five mile radius, okay.”

My first thought as well. I’m holding out hope that a couple of raised intersections planned on Glenwood will be better.

It failed for me because there was technically one dock still open but they all looked full at first glance when I pulled up

Much (all?) of this stretch already has a 20mph limit, including further north through Andersonville

So this means you’ll finally support fare caping like New York City, right?

They’ll be on Reddit tomorrow complaining that someone put a sticker on their car, leaving out the crucial detail of where they were parked

Last I checked the pavement markings were never installed for the new camera on Broadway in Edgewater. Had me wondering if it was a requirement or just a “nice to have”.
