A view of Nagano JR station and the Hotel Metropolitan. The station looks like it has been clad in materials that are supposed to look traditional like Wood and lanterns. There is a bus terminal just outside.

Looking in the opposite direction from underneath the station’s wooden Support beams. A Starbucks cup sits on the table and beyond it there are buses and hotels.

Starting off with my traditional matcha-and-two-shots before a #TransitAdventure today in #Nagano!

Nagano itself is a fascinating small city and well worth a visit — super easy from #Tokyo — but retro train fans in particular are *exceedingly* well served…

Looking down on a trip of bridges.

The castle gate and the suspension bridge extending away.

The metal wire and chain link structure of the suspension bridge.

From a #transitadventure perspective there's an old suspension bridge between the current causeway and the rail bridges.

The suspension bridge is pretty cool, with metal links in addition to wires providing the support.

Interior of a tram car, about 40% seats occupied.

The RER B is crowded on a good day. During peak times at PAS it is absurd. Oh, and rarely air conditioned.

Le Bourget now has the T11 tram line, which is a bit slower for my trip, but no crowds. And (still relatively ineffective) air conditioning.

Plus, more #transitadventure fun.

Unexpected #TransitAdventure on Stockholm’s Roslagsbanan, a narrow gauge commuter railway. They call it a tram, but it’s more like an interurban.

The three branches run every 30-60 minutes, and we rode to the end of the Näsbypark branch and walked to a beach. Fun ride!

The Rio-Niterói Bridge and dozens of ships in Guanabara Bay, as seen from an Azul-operated Embraer E195. The winglet of that regional jet features Azul's bitmapped version of Brazil.

Sugarloa Mountain as seen from the south end of SDU, with the wing and winglet of an Azul-operated E195 regional jet in the foreground.

A VLT train pulls out of the Cinelândia stop. There are no overhead wires; instead, what looks like a middle rail in the ground powers these vehicles.

A Metro train at the Barra da Tijuca/Jardim Oceânico station, the farthest stop on Line 4. The train's doors are open and look at least six feet wide.

Olá do Rio! Flying into SDU, this city's equivalent of National Airport, treated me to great views on the way in and then allowed a #transitadventure after landing: VLT (note the ground-level power supply for this light rail) to Metro (see how wide the doors are?), then Uber for the last few miles.

5. Back in Time for Boarding
With efficient transport back to the airport, a short Hyderabad tour is smooth and satisfying. Culture, cuisine, and memories – all in a few hours.

It’s all about the friends we make along the way.

Izzy Lizzy, let’s get busy! #transitadventure

Panorama of a curved glass roof over a large train station platform entry way.

Long, wide hallway curving away with a single man walking down the middle.

Rail tracks curving into the station.

Wemyss Station dates back to 1903, where the railway ends and a ferry continues to the islands. The arched ceiling of steel and glass represents the era well. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚉

Rode a train. Ended up with Carbrain.

Tapping a card in at the fare gates.

Train in the station. We rode the Inner loop, as noted on the sign.

Inside the train, with orange handrails.

End of the car with some empty seats.

Took a loop on the Subway in Glasgow.

The trains are wee, and the route is simple. Decent ridership on a Saturday morning, too.

Vaarwel, Amsterdam. 👋🏻
Bis später, Deutschland. 🇩🇪

Excited to begin this #TransitAdventure; riding and trying Deutsche Bahn first class for the first time.

Amsterdam Centraal departure and Frankfurt Hbf arrival.

Today’s Japan #TransitAdventure. Might even encounter a familiar face along the way later. And the ride back is going to be something very special.

Not surprisingly, none of the other passengers wanted to schlep their bags up the stairs for the upper deck views on the bus into town from Liverpool airport.

Her music selection was pretty good, and we rolled into LA Union Station right on time. Slightly better signage for the Flyaway buses would be nice while at the tracks, but I've done it before and remembered which way to go.

Time for a #TransitAdventure: I'm commuting from Rancho Cucamonga to LAX this morning, with Metrolink rail and the Flyaway bus service.

So far the woman behind me has a solid sing-along happening, so that's gonna make for an interesting hour.

Bit of a #TransitAdventure this morning, headed into Boston for a wedding.
