Today the FRA has released $218 million in funding to bring Amtrak service to Madison, the near term plan is to extend 2 round trips of the Hiawatha to Madison by 2030/31. Eventually 2 more would be extended. Travel time would be competitive with driving between Madison and Milwaukee and could add 258k annual riders to the Amtrak network.

All that is left is for the state to pony up $50mil for the service, which I'd say is likely following previously investments in the Hiawatha and the success of the Borealis.

A minimum of 3 "blast instances" have been found along the track, and there is damage (likely due to fires) to the rails and underlying electronics. The LAX Automated People Mover is now delayed until February 2027.

This is nothing short of criminal negligence and weaponized incompetence from every single person and contractor working under LINXS and LAWA.

"Urban Planning in the 3rd Dimension :

How do you move 80,000+ people daily through a narrow valley already packed with a river, a highway, and dense housing?

Wuppertal found the answer back in 1901: The Schwebebahn.

While modern cities are struggling with "induced demand" and the nightmare of widening roads, this 120-year-old suspension railway proves that efficiency lies in utilizing space that's already there.

Why it's a planning masterpiece:

1. Zero Road Space: It operates entirely above the Wupper river and existing streets.

2. Grade Separation: No traffic jams, no intersections, just constant flow.

3. Sustainable Legacy: Proof that bold, long-term sustainable infrastructure beats "quick fixes".

Ofcourse, it has some minor disadvantages like Inflexibility, Maintenance & Noise, but the aesthetic value & the Whimsical Wonder this thing inspires is quite breathtaking"

I went to LaSalle Street Station earlier this week, where I found out that one of Metra's new Battery-powered EMU's were on display! These zero emissions Stadler-built FLIRT cars would have the ability to only need up to 12 minutes to recharge, and will accelerate and decelerate much faster than the current MP36PH's pulling and pushing gallery coaches (which are big, heavy, and don't accelerate as fast as other commuter engines). These new EMU's even have space for luggage on top, will produce up to 1,340 hp per car, use up to 26 batteries, and will begin running on the Rock Island District's Beverly Branch sometime in 2028 after testing and crew familiarization is complete.

DMRC (delhi metro governing body) says 99.95% of trains were on time this year and they count a train late if it's even 59 seconds behind. that's better than new york and paris

i've attached two pics, the first one is future plans, and the second one is what we have today

goes from ~440 km to ~1100 km which would be bigger than shanghai's metro today.
truly amazed by this network

Been seeing a few posts here with their collections and wanted to add my little stash collected over the years.

Missing the Opus - somewhere in the house and ll hopefully eventually turn up haha.

Hi all! I was recently visiting NYC and loved this collectible memorabilia they gave the fans who visited the Harry styles pop up store. I would really love to pair it up with an actual Metro card.

It was next to impossible to find any kind of whereabouts and how might I be able to get one when i was recently visiting. Happy to chip in the shipping if you can assist me in securing one, please!!

Thank you :)

I'm visiting Waterbury and went to a store and I look on the Google Maps and saw there was a bus stop across the street. When I waited there after a few minutes, the bus blew past me. I'm very upset cause the next one wasn't coming for another half hour. Either Google Maps isn't entirely accurate or CTTransit is doing a bad job of replacing signs of bus stops that are supposed to be there

yes I know passenger trains accelerate much faster, but isn't this also impressive?

Hello r/Transit COmmunity,
Me and a friend are working on a Ballot initiative to get metro to redirect its remaining Measure's M and R highway funding to fully grade separate LA Metro's Light Rail lines. Doing so would have many benefits and be transformative for the system. We are looking for volunteers, donors or anyone just interested in making metro better and help spread the word. For more information Check out the website above.

Thanks!

E10, E15 = friends. 30, E114 = best friends. E17 = wife. E110, 67, 68, 82, 87, 26 = acquaintances. Blue line = Brother from another mother. Gold line = Cousin. E115 = ex I still lowkey like. E116 = bombastic sideye. 62, 38, GFY stop hogging my 30 stop at 16th and K.

Transit in the midwest is mostly non existent or not useful. Banging my head against the wall trying to solve this problem. Are there any decent systems?
