Wait so was it not possible to have both discounts on the same card?

My first crossing of the Portal North bridge and it was on an Arrow III! (Which it is also my first time on.)

The NEC is unique in that all the Amtrak trains mandate seat reservations but have no seat assignments (at least on the regionals). Most services worldwide assign seats with reservations and may or may not require them.

I joke sometimes that, "...and Moses came down with a tablet that traffic lanes should less than 8 cubits wide," but it seems to dominate everything.

We refuse to scale systems to meet space, which means we can't be creative when it comes to integrating transit lanes, etc into tight spaces.

There's something beautiful and transcendent about a rocket launch isn't there!

🧵(1/7) RIP DC Streetcar: 2016-2026

The DC Streetcar: A cautionary tale of ambition vs. poor execution.

This is a great example of how people who wouldn't seemingly stand to benefit from public transit can be brought into the pro-transit coalition. The Melbourne LXRP did this as well, non-transit users can benefit from transit improvements.

If you don’t have 2FA active on Bluesky, turn it on NOW.

There’s an ongoing attack taking over accounts and spamming with links, which seems to add an “app password” for access externally. Already had one friend’s account compromised and I’m seeing others.

The first three door low floor bus in Canada. . . . ever?

Today's mood:

I spotted Henderson walking around the Wilson Building yesterday with a glass jar full of water and a single wipe floating in it, to show how long it can take for the wipes to disintegrate.

Now I'm curious whether the bidet industry (Big Bidet?) has gotten to her.

Funnily enough, there's a Trader Joe's just over the border in North Brunswick. Its technically accessible on the 811 or 814, but the low frequency seriously limits that.

It actually looks like it's on that block, but suffers from the NYC-esque problem of small footprint and high prices. Meanwhile accessing any other store from downtown means taking a bus that runs once an hour.

What are the odds we could get a proper full-sized grocery store in downtown at the base of this?

Nova Bus wins an order from Academy Bus in the U.S. - Novabus Saint-Eustache, February 19, 2026 – Nova Bus, a Volvo Group company, has received a firm order for 15 Nova LFS buses from Academy Bus, a leading privately owned and operated ground transportation comp...

Currently the operator is Transdev, but will be Academy later this year. The Gilligs are staying here through the changeover, but Academy has seemingly decided to order Novas. novabus.com/en/blog/2026...

Seems like a good hiding spot

I also wonder if that affects their utilization. There are five BEV Gilligs in total, but only one or two of them are typically in service at a time.

had a guy try to pay with a @wmata.com smart card on my bus in Indianapolis today and boy that would be some stellar regional fare integration

Has there been talk of renaming the station to Eglinton-Yonge in line with the other interchange stations?

happy first day of full time metro tunnel services to all who celebrate

I always thought the Circulator made a lot of sense as a lower capacity supplement to Metrorail, especially on tangential routes that connected different rail corridors or allowed you to avoid going out of your way and transferring. But the frequency was too low to make it useful for that purpose.

One of the things living on a college campus has done is make me an ardent supporter of mechanized sidewalk snow removal. Its efficacy is basically unmatched, especially in icy conditions like what’s seen now, and on DC’s uneven sidewalks which catch the shovel unexpectedly.

Tyson's might be large, but downtown DC is much larger

I suspect that would make overcrowding worse by concentrating it, and each campus is large enough to justify multiple stops with conventional stop spacing for an urban area. This would also probably make the "musical chairs" that happens when buses lay over much more frequent.
