#publictransit

Public transit genuinely feels like magic to me every time I take it. Like, what do you mean I can travel 17 miles in a little over an hour for $5?? And I don’t have to pay attention to bad drivers or worry about missing my turn? I’m just listening to my favorite podcast & vibing?? #publictransit #bart #urbanmobility

#introduction Hi! We are a group that builds benches for Sacramento bus stops to increase accessibility for #PublicTransit 🚌 .

And don't be shy to say hi cause we're new here :)

#Calgary and many other cities have built Park and Ride lots for #PublicTransit to increase transit useage in cities whose infrastructure is car centric. It is time for out cities to take the next step and start installing #EVcharging in those lots. One of the most common concerns people have about getting an #EV is not knowing where they can charge (not everyone has the option of charging at home). If cities installed level 2 chargers in the park and ride lots, and enforced the usage rules of those spots, it would give people who can't charge at home a place to charge their car while at work. It is also municipal budget friendly as the cost to charge can be set at exactly what it costs the city, thus making it a revenue neutral infrastructure installation.

Fascinating review of Seoul's disastrous Line 9, a subway line conceived and built and run privately. https://www.substack-bahn.net/p/hell-line-lessons-from-seouls-controversial #transit #Seoul #PublicTransit #Privatization

In the #Netherlands, many cities have dedicated lanes for public transportation

Imagine me laughing when I cruise by a packed car lane just sitting back and enjoying the ride

• it’s cheaper
• it’s faster
• it’s cooler
• I’m a cat meow

#Caltrain continues to be difficult for autists by their vague, incomplete, incorrectly worded, inaccurate, and absent information. It is the same for disabled and wheelchair users. It is unnecessarily and unreasonably stressful. They won't change. They have made that quite clear. They have refused to provide information helpful to people. The only way to know what they won't tell you is to learn it all the hard way. Tough noogies--figure it all out by yourself. However, the conductors I have encountered on every train I was on are very helpful and friendly, and usually pretty good-natured, which does help ease the stress. #bureaucracy#PublicTransit#SFBay#trains#ActuallyAutistic#Disabled

I dusted off an old idea to show duration for walking segments of public transit itineraries that I played with a year or so back. Now that the list is using flowboxes, which can wrap contents to multiple lines when needed I think it will probably look better: #gnomemaps #PublicTransport #PublicTransit #transitous #routing #Gnome

Heads up, Seattle! The Urbanist: "By far the most impactful amendment set to be considered to Katie Wilson's proposed transit measure renewal, Councilmember Bob Kettle's proposal would lead to more than 1 million fewer service hours over the course of 10 years." #Seattle #PublicTransit #PSA #SaveBusService https://www.theurbanist.org/kettle-proposes-slashing-seattle-transit-measure-halting-city-funded-bus-service-growth/

I fear my city's transit system doesn't truly believe in public transit nor the citizens that use the system. They do not run any service on holidays. In this week's case, that is this Saturday. However, the holiday celebrations are held far away from much of us. And the no service press release framed it as "if you want essential transportation, make it elsewhere." Seems like they don't care or get that public transit is some people's (including my) only affordable transit method. Surely we should also have the option to enjoy festivities accessible by those with cars? #PublicTransit #Greeley #Colorado

Quebec, Canada sign nearly $10B in infrastructure agreements Quebec and Ottawa have signed five infrastructure agreements totaling nearly $10 billion, paving the way for major investments in public transit, health care, housing and higher education across the province over the next decade. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-ottawa-sign-deal-9.7221105?cmp=rss

Loving this Subway Stations and transfers project by @albertgui@social.ferrocarril.net: 3,169 stations from different European cities are hand-modeled and available to browse, some of them as interactive 3d models! Zooming and panning around the famous parisian Châtelet-les-Halles is impressive! (no deep link support unfortunately, you'll need to navigate to it). #Subway #PublicTransport #PublicTransit #Urbanism

it would be really cool if one day people could be silent in the silent train #trains #publictransit
