CTA Acting President Nora Leerhsen, Alderman Nicole Lee, Illinois Rep. Theresa Mah, and a host of civic and community leaders representing the Chinatown area, welcomed the Lunar New Year with the unveiling of new Chinese-language signage at the Cermak-Chinatown station.
One of the most fun things about said routes is that sometimes the unique routing is... interesting. Specifically, this wonderful deviation!
Hampton Roads Transit has route designations specifically for the few days per decade when Hampton Roads gets snow. I love it.
This is what would happen if you gave a Toronto Rocket a severe underbite
Happy Merger Day!!! I'm sure there will be no negligence on any part of either the Union Pacific or Norfolk Southern combined network!!!
The purpose of transit is not to go back and forth and go *ding ding*. It's to go between places where people are and where they want to go. And politicians who don't ride the transit often can't tell the difference, thus: DC Streetcar. But damn, I'll miss those ding dings.
The CAHSRA CEO has been having serious talks with private investors to fund High Speed Rail. Gov. Newsom's commitment of at least $1 billion/year guaranteed to HSR can make that possible, bring the train to SF and LA sooner, and save money in the process. www.fresnobee.com/news/local/a...

We've made it onto Tumblr! I can tell from the analytics that this video is reaching far outside the usual urbanist circles. Sports videos, non-transit music videos, even people searching for "Davis California". Keep sharing, keep pushing the circle further out. 🚅

For the proposed FY2026 budget, the addition of 11 new Metrobus routes are being proposed with increased midday, evening, and weekend service. Moving to an open payment system will allow customers to enjoy more convenience. #wmata

A little bit about me:
I attend Christopher Newport University
I am an urbanist and Northern Virginia native (WMATA enjoyer)
I like technology too, but I probably won't talk too much about that here
I can't wait until more transit agencies are on here, it's really the only thing I'm missing
