Probably not NJT themselves but did anyone at the table ever think "how will people get there?"

Thrilled to finally share a big project I’ve been working on for quite some time now - the first conceptual renderings for RITTENHOUSE PARK!
A 21st century revenue model for upkeep and maintenance.
Finally, an answer to the age-old question, “where will I park?” The answer is, Rittenhouse Park.
Whereas, in every language I've studied, I quickly get good at speaking but can't do aural comprehension to save my life.
HSR is good but there is no law of physics that says planes must have cumbersome security checkpoints and trains don't. Chinese HSR and Eurostar have airport-style security.
That article doesn't say anything positive about flex posts except that they generate good evidence when they get destroyed.
I imagine the passenger lists all go through TSA computers.
This is so grim.
Even rich people should be pro estate tax to keep their children from growing up like this
And Congress occasionally threatens to put the TSA in train stations too.
I stopped that commute 8 years ago and I still recognize the times and know which stations they are.
Buy CSX's former New York Central line, electrify it, and run EMUs from Cleveland to Albany.
The Subarus of 20 years ago weren't sports cars.
Interested in this--the important piece seems to be that the range impacts of cold weather on BEBs seem to be decreasing as time goes on. But! Mandatory 15-min dwell time to recharge at the end of a route, or midday return to garage, are *major* operational inefficiencies. grist.org/transportati...
Death Valley is the worst because half the visitors rented cars in Vegas just to get there. And cars routinely overheat there. And all the attractions are laid out in straight lines so frequent buses would be perfect.
How many stations on that route can fit 16 cars?
As a state that values walking and biking, we cannot allow the governor to gut the rights of the people most at risk — especially since it won't lower insurance rates anyway.

The fact that most transit riders are used to getting treated like dirt gets treated as the status quo rather than a huge opportunity for public policy gains that could come from very modest changes.
Wait a second? Streetsblog now has an "Empire State" edition?! empire.streetsblog.org/mondays-head...
When I was a kid the Plymouth Meeting Mall buses all stopped right in front of an entrance (where Bertucci's is now). The transfer experience is so much worse now.
Where's the densest grade crossing on the M&E? It's separated in downtown South Orange, Maplewood, Millburn, Summit..
Saying your small metro should built car shit until it turns into Bakersfield is not being “pro-rural,” it’s actually saying it should build all the excess of urban areas with none of the benefits until it crumples under its own weight
Small metros face a choice: fill out their geography with low-density car-dependent infrastructure until they become endless Bakersfield-style sprawl, or properly urbanize in a more compact, efficient footprint that gives people more mobility and housing choices.
One day earlier, NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will be sworn into office at the old City Hall subway station

I saw a Centro employee at a TNT meeting get yelled at because of this misconception.
I think one answer is "because if they don't the human motorists get mad". They still shouldn't, though.
The PC bankruptcy trustees had to argue in court about whether or not Keystone was "Intercity passenger rail" because if it was they could make it Amtrak's problem. Turns out there was no legal definition of that phrase.
Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community.
1. GTFO
2. My voice is not some singular thing - bike advocacy is a small part of my makeup-you don’t like me or my position on things refer to point 1
Signed,
Me
How do you even put that in your mouth? Knife and fork? Went to Carnegie once and didn't understand it at all.
Feel like I got my money's worth for my Post Standard subscription all in one day
