honestly the fact that the only bus stop signage in the MUTCD (or: “how to lay out a road”) puts more focus on saying “No Parking” as opposed to giving transit riders useful info says quite a lot about our priorities as a country

it is vitally important to actually know what's in an article you post before using it as a gotcha. (is dropping citations too much for a twitter argument?)

Got a decker on the 510 to Seattle. Fun fact: until earlier this year, this was only possible if the 90X was early enough AND if the 510 was late enough due to a NEGATIVE ONE minute connection. Since then, they added this trip to cater for those on the first southbound 80X/90X connection of the day.

Of course, as soon as we pull from Skagit Station, we get met with a highballing unit coal train. At least it has foreign power?

Because Skagit Transit is one of Those Agencies, there’s mixed messaging about the bus leaving Skagit Station 5 or 10 mins after the 80X arrives, the latter of which would give me time to dash to the 7/11 across the street. I decided against it, much to the chagrin of my stomach.

because of a scheduling mishap, I have to attend a doctor’s appointment in my hometown in order to restock some meds I need, and of course that involves walking to Lincoln Creek because the first 80X doesn’t connect to anything from my neck of the woods. let’s see what other shenanigans I get into!

started a new save on subway builder in seattle and i discovered that they sunk mercer island. im not sure if this is a bug or a revolutionary new feature that makes it easier to build subways.

count on small-town America to provide pedestrian infrastructure that tells you:

because Pierce has a fleet shortage on the Sound Transit side, ST decided to transfer two LFRs that were surplus from CT. however, this LFR is in PT’s dead/retired line. this is because CT subcontracts its ST ops, and the op barely maintained them and ran them ragged. PT is now stuck with rehab duty

Someone made this observation on Twitter re: Bluesky that I think is quite accurate, and is why I use both sites; I stay on Twitter because there’s nowhere else like it, both /pos and /neg; but Bluesky is where I actually post more since sometimes I need to “head back to the locker room” iyk

hey seattle, maybe it’d be a good idea to put a flight of stairs between this road and this bridge by the northern terminus of the 28 so we don’t have to walk all the way around to the nearest intersections

East Base’s fleet manager decided to do a big funny and deployed RapidRide coaches across a lot of its routes, as well as deploying standard coaches on the B Line. While most were trippers, only doing one or two runs in the morning, there were several that are staying on all-day, like this on rt 255

Overlaking (n):
The phenomenon of installing transit hubs or park and rides within close proximity of each other, ultimately causing one to fall into disuse or abandonment in favor of the other.

Got a tad demoralized by missing a connection that was entirely my fault, so I figured I’d swing by this month’s board meeting since I’ve nothing better or worse to do today

with Metro implementing some of the Eastside changes this weekend, I thought it’d be due time to ride as many of the “old” routes as I can before they go, one more time
