This is Lincoln Park and C Line erasure.
This post about Los Angeles doesn't bode well for Sound Transit Stride BRT Line S3, which last I heard, planned to use BYD electric bendy-buses on SR 522 from Shoreline to Bothell.
Is King County Metro going to have trouble with Open Payments next week?
Seattle Link light rail station arrival screen, showing a 2 Line in 1 minute and a 1 Line in 5 minutes.
I love to see it, 4 minute combined service!
But this Siemens northbound 2 Line has all the onboard screens stuck at "ID/Chinatown" despite being at Capitol Hill.
FTA National Transit Database data for all of 2025 has been released. Here are the top ridership urban areas, including all agencies and modes: Some are strongly up year-to-year (NY, DC, Seattle), some are sadly down (LA, Baltimore, Minneapolis).
And by in a few weeks, I mean today. FTA has released the 2025 full year data!
Wow, my Bluesky post featured on a City Nerd video! 🎉
All this data is based on 2024 data, but the FTA will release full year 2025 data any week now. I will update my rankings - some cities have continued to recover post-Covid, while others have stagnated.

Any idea how many Gilligs are going into revenue service next week?
This is the same day as the @sound-transit.bsky.social Crosslake Line 2 opening. Make sure any march doesn't interfere with bus routes, as 100,000s could be using transit to access the Link opening.
Secretary Noem, your administration now openly authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter people's homes without a judicial warrant.
That is blatantly unconstitutional – ICE cannot authorize itself to break into people’s homes.
If ICE attempts such unconstitutional measures in Washington...

In happier news today, I just voted online in a completely secure and official election for King County Conservation District.
If you live in Seattle, you can too!
The 3 FWLE stations together had about 5,000 average weekday boardings, so responsible for an increased 1 Line ridership of approximately 10,000/day. Not too bad for a partial first month in winter.
Wow, Democrats privileging the priorities of white racists over those of Blacks and white liberals, like its not even 1964 yet.
No wonder this country is such a mess.
No wonder 10,000,000s marching in the streets for the past decade have produced negligible policy change.
Dropping this link here. It shows potential sighting at Mercer Middle School.

It could run more frequently now, if Metro reduces the 5-10 minute downtime at each end. The schedule is padded for disruptions that don't often occur. Better to run on an estimated headway without a set schedule.
The F line yesterday afternoon was running a suprisingly busy artic, about 20 people got off at TIBS Link Station, and another dozen rode to the end of the line in Burien.
Has the SSHD started receiving regular tax income yet?
This is the first pilot project line. A more complete overnight bus network is planned for the fall.

I think she is focused on good governance and building consensus within and between city departments, similar to Spotts at SDOT. So slow to go fast.
POWELL SAYS THREAT OF CRIMINAL CHARGES IS A CONSEQUENCE OF FED'S SETTING INTEREST RATES BASED ON ITS ASSESSMENT OF THE PUBLIC INTEREST RATHER THAN THE PRESIDENT'S PREFERENCES
Where are you at, @jayapal.house.gov ?
Let's do this at SEA! Even out the playing field and make progress on your mode share goals. @portofseattle.bsky.social @ryancalkins.bsky.social @felleman.bsky.social
Yet lower than San Marcos, TX.
Border Patrol agents shot two people in Portland today. FBI issued and then deleted a preliminary statement on the matter uncinditionally defending their racist cowboys
The best way to abolish ICE is to make immigration legal for all.
A man who was at the medical building said he saw federal officers follow a Toyota truck into the parking lot of the office building and try to corner it. One officer pounded on the window, he said. The driver then backed up and moved forward at least a couple of times, striking a car behind him, before turning and speeding off, said the man who gave only his first name. It’s not clear if the car the truck hit belonged to the federal officers. Officers fired about five shots at the truck as it left, the witness said. Portland police said they received two calls – one at the medical office and then one in Northeast Portland, where they found a man and woman with gunshot wounds at Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside.
