A female character with periwinkle hair and a pastel pink face, wearing a hoodie on top of a dress and almost kneeling down beside a tree with fairy lights on it. She also has a green halo. In the background there is a galaxy sky with a railway behind tall bushes. Only thing showing from the railway is a glowing pantograph and the OHLE.

Major city makes history with pivotal change to train network: 'A lot of flexibility' The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority is making a pivotal change to its train network, including the procurement of battery-electric trains.

NYC leads the way with historic move towards cleaner transportation: introducing battery-electric trains for a more flexible and efficient train network. #climatechange #climatesolutions #climate #ElectricTrains #PublicTransportation #SustainableTransport

20-Baht Flat Fare Policy Delayed to Mid-November Amid Criticism of Government Handling The 20-baht flat fare electric train policy for Bangkok mass transit lines, originally set to start on October 1, is now expected to begin in mid-November due to pending legislation. Registration for the policy began on Monday, with more than 200,000 people signing up as of 8 a.m. today, but implementation will now be delayed. Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungruangkit said the delay is caused by the need to pass three laws: the Rail Transport Act, the Joint Ticket Management Act, and the amended Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand Act.

Over 100,000 Register on First Day for 20-Baht MRT Fare; Seniors Retain Benefits On the first day of registration for the 20-baht flat fare policy for electric trains in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, more than 100,000 commuters had signed up by noon. Registration continued to rise despite complaints over a complex, multi-step process. The Thang-Rath app and linked card registration system remain operational. However, verification via bank EMV cards requiring OTP codes has faced technical delays due to high demand.

As of noon on the first day of registration, over 100,000 commuters had signed up for Bangkok’s 20-baht MRT flat fare, with seniors retaining their travel benefits.

Electric trains are quieter, more reliable than diesel. New study finds they’re healthier, too. More than 75 years of transformational research and hands-on social impact for a better world.

A #UCBerkeley study led by Professor Joshua Apte found that electrifying Caltrain's commuter rail line reduced passengers' exposure to carcinogenic #BlackCarbon by 89%, highlighting the substantial health benefits of rail electrification. #EnvironmentalHealth #ElectricTrains

Another article that confuses me. Why are subways not using regenerative braking already? This is a tech from the 20s (the previous ones). Why do they need to feed the power to EV charging stations, and not just power trains.
