Digital screen showing the wait times for upcoming trains: Downtown Redmond, Line 2, 1 minute Downtown Redmond, Line 2, 3 minutes Lynnwood, Line 2, 3 minutes Lynnwood, Line 2, 6 minutes

The Pioneer Square station sign as seen from inside the light rail car. To the left of the sign, another sign showing 1 2 52. The 1 is green and the 2 is blue, signifying that Station 52 serves both the 1 Line and the 2 Line

Sports stadium as seen from the new Line 2 ramp heading due east toward Judkins Park, Mercer Island, and Bellevue. I’d name the stadium but I don’t know sports. I just know transit.

A highway as seen from inside the light rail car. We are pacing as fast as normal traffic. Imagine this view with train outpacing logjam rush hour!

Today was the perfect day to be a transit nerd—a historic day for Seattle, for engineering, for innovation, and for the community. 🧵

I play a dumb phone game which is basically Candy Crush but it’s sorting little commuters onto buses. #transitnerd

Pleased to see we’ve addressed the redundant stop name issue. “Symphony”; I’ll take it! #transitnerd

Looking at some of the last runs of route numbers that have been running for almost a century in #DC before @wmata.com #BetterBus takes place tomorrow. I have high hopes for the new network. #transit #buses #transitnerd

See, we’ve got both Caltrans (state agency managing aspects of highway and rail systems) and Caltrain (transit system on the SF peninsula) and I get super bent out of shape when people get the two mixed up or use them interchangeably. #persnickety #AnalRetentive #TransitNerd #TheTism

Many signs at a railway station, with train tracks.

With an abundance of caution, I live in a charming #RailwaySuburb, y'all.😀🇨🇦 #TransitNerd #InfrastructureAndTrains #LongBranchToronto

More King County Metro bus service starting March 29 Riders can review the route updates on Metro’s web page in English, 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese), Русский (Russian), Español (Spanish) and Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese). King County Metro will update schedu…

Genuinely, I look forward to this twice annually. #transitnerd #másttransit

A rainy morning before a flight can only mean one thing in Vancouver.

Riding the #Skytrain just for fun.

Who's a #train and #transitnerd? This week we have a great episode all about rail in Australia! How's it sound to land at the airport & get right to the beach! Tune in: lnkfi.re/transit-unpl...

People in ski gear board a blue bus.

Quick #transitnerd thread on one of the best systems I've encountered. Caveat: it's in a rich ski town, with (apparently) a lot of resources. Still, allow me to sing the praises of both Park City and High Valley Transit, with a side glance at the UTA. (📸 Park City Mtn. skiers board buses.)

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) might be the nicest airport in the U.S.! Wow. #transitnerd

A TV screen showing 4 lanes of traffic and bus lanes with lots of vehicles parked in them. The tv sits on a messy dresser that has a picture and a cardboard OC Transpo double decker bus on top.

I'm watching Home Alone 2 with my sick kid (it's walking pneumonia now on the mend) & spotted these (obstructed) bus lanes in 90s New York! #TransitNerd (P.S. a sign kid is also a transit nerd is the cardboard cut-out OC Transpo double decker bus just visible above the TV temporarily in his room😂).

It's so simple, but so amazingly effective. And could save Portland's TriMet millions of dollars while helping the city's most vulnerable. #transitnerd #innovation #transit #paratransit #accessibility

They’ll let anyone ride a CTA bus in Chicago. Route 151 Sheridan to Union Station.

This audiogram from SWTA Exec. Dir. Rich Sampson sums up the value of transit. I fell into public transit when I started working here 3.5 years ago. Always been a supporter, but now I'm a #transitnerd.

Excited to add another book to my transit nerd collection! The Great Society Subway. Can't wait to dig in and learn more about the history of the @wmata Metrorail. #TransitNerd #NUMTOT #WMATA

So excited! I now have a vintage @trimet sign in my International Micro Museum of Transit collection! Love these old triangle shaped signs. #numtot #transitnerd
