The busiest travel day of the year, as Amtrak Midwest trains and intercity buses sell out en masse, is a great time to read @detroittransit.org's report on the state of cross-state transit in Michigan 🚆

If I'm reading all these alerts correctly: Wolverine 352 had a blowout, 364 had to stop and donate an engine to get it rolling again, 355 got stuck on the wrong side of 352 for so long the crew timed out, and 354 was a victim of the resulting logjam

Seeing the Miller Road Flix stop show up in search results as "Flint Bus Center" with MTA's station photo and contact info got me so incensed I just posted my first ever review on Google Maps. Intercity trip planning in this state is already confusing enough, don't get me started

Everyone is short on time this time of year. As you drive around this holiday season please remember that ppl on bicycles are humans. We’re not trying to be in your way or slow you down. Chill and give us a little extra room when you see us. It’s scary out here. Show us some love. Happy holidays.

Guarantee some variant of this announcement is about to be made: "We are now arriving at the East Lansing station stop, this is a SOLD OUT TRAIN, we have OVER 200 PEOPLE BOARDING at this station, if we see your bag in an empty seat we will personally catapult you into the sun"

Detours start at 9AM. If you're riding FAST, Transit will show you what's going on. For DDOT, see the Route Updates page: detroitmi.gov/departments/...
In short, no service at stops south of the Boulevard. FAST is going express down the Lodge while DDOT is making local stops on Cass.

Tomorrow does not look like a beautiful day for a bike ride but if anyone feels like braving wind, rain, and possibly snow, it's your chance to see the parade floats early. Woodward is car-free after 9am 🚴♂️

Visual detours and trip modifications are by far the best feature of Transit Royale. Takes an incredible amount of data processing under the hood to make it all work.

Last night I submitted my first PR on a public git repo since 2022 and now I've got the itch to dust off some old pet project ideas. Gonna make a little service information screen on a pi monitor

No RenCen food court and no People Mover makes for a weird feeling Thursday afternoon. Actually *gasp* walked a few blocks to find lunch downtown

Random rider experience question: How often should a transit vehicle play non-wayfinding announcements (yield priority seats, keep clear of the rear door, etc.)?
There's a line between making service delivery feel professional and creating a nuisance. Where is it for you?
