What is the reason that LIRR is up so much and NJ transit is down so much?
Today we have US transit data for all of 2025, & DC's WMATA was officially the fastest-growing major US agency, with ridership up 8.7%!
The LIRR (NY, 6.4%), King County Metro (Seattle, +6.5%) & SEPTA (Philly, +4.7%) performed well, while LA Metro & NJTransit lost riders🧵

The austrian population grew by 40 thousand people last year
This year growth will probably be at least 10k lower, because syrian migration dropped hard after the war ended and migration restrictions were put up

New data on Public transit funding in Vienna:
The Public transit company gets roughly a billion euros from the city and 200 million from Central government, but this is both for investment and operation
Fare box revenue is roughly 63% (485M € in subsidy), good considering cheap ticket prices

Lets gooooo
A gap in the gürtel bike route in Vienna at Westbahnhof will be finally closed in the next month
Car lanes will stay the same tho, because that road operated with a lane less because of a construction project (which is now close to done) anyways

It shows how much the city is still behind in street design and what is possible and what every side street should look like in Vienna
The difference between greenery on a privately owned street (the one with tons of trees) and city owned streets (the gray ones) is honestly massive
