Clarissa Chervoni takes an express bus most days from her home on Staten Island to lower Manhattan for “peace of mind.” “I could take the ferry and the local bus to get home, but I prefer not to,” she said. “So I situate my money to accommodate that.” Chervoni thinks Mamdani’s fare-free plan – which has been criticized by MTA President Janno Lieber – seems even more unappealing for express bus travelers like her. “The people who pay for the express bus, which is the majority of the riders as opposed to the local riders, they’re the ones that fund the MTA,” she said. “I can’t imagine that they’re going to stop payment on the express bus.”
“they’re the ones that fund the MTA.” most certainly not!
There is no such thing at MTA Regional Bus. Somebody on some forum imagined it and now there’s a circular citation thing going on
I suspect Julie Menin spends her free time eating sheet metal
Breaking, from me: Sources show that the Interborough Express (IBX) rail line will be operated by MTA Regional Bus, a little known MTA operating agency. This comes amid speculation about operation of the line, whether it will be contracted, and what crewing will look like.
Streetsblog Empire posting a piece that makes a lot of easily discredited claims about the Newburgh Beacon ferry and bus service is disappointing. The new bus is a huge improvement over the ferry, in terms of both departures and service span
People making faces at Melania documentary ads on the Outfront screens in midtown, lol
It’s actually just a single row with a JSON column (stored as text) in one Postgres instance on a Dell tower from 2010.
Cubic Systems of San Diego has received an award from the Civic Software Institute for their monumental achievements with Clipper 2, including being the first fare system to use a single JSON file as a database. Congratulations to everyone at MTC and Cubic on this achievement!
If you preach specifically at queer people at Penn Station you are allowed to be thrown onto 21 track
Of course Amtrak giving up means the NEC will be extremely hard to start up tomorrow or Tuesday. The railroad only freezes when it stops moving! Absolutely feckless.
Every couple minutes an Amtrak cancellation announcement plays. Between them, LIRR announcements about trains running normally.
This shit is evidence of an entirely unserious attitude about NJT and Amtrak’s role in the region. I’ve spoken to multiple who are now stranded because NJT ambiguously set “2pm” as the closing time and then locked up NYP by 1pm. Moynihan is full of passengers who have been abandoned.
NJT and Amtrak cancelling everything over a foot or two of snow is really pathetic and unacceptable. The LIRR is still pumping out trains without problems.
The Flushing & Workzone Railroad
"Urbanist" as a LinkedIn headline just means "unemployed consultant" right?
Abusive Train Supervision
I’d like a word with whoever put a work zone on the entirety of the flushing line in queens.
Let’s be totally clear. He works for Donald Trump and Sean Duffy. His job is to legitimize the Trump administration.
Hopefully Deutschreichbahn is hiring in 2 years so Andy Byford can get a job
He’ll kiss whatever he needs to above him and fuck everyone below him. Just once, Andy, finish the job.
Andy Byford seems like a slimy, unscrupulous, opportunistic motherfucker.

What the fuck is the point of this? You're a transit agency!
The world's most unserious transit agency
Post from GM Bob Powers: BART's latest partnership with Uber is an example of innovation and modernizing the tools we offer riders to make it easier to take transit. It also acknowledges that not everyone lives close to a bus route or BART line. Folks are taking Uber to BART and now they can plan and book first-mile and last-mile Uber trips to and from our stations in the BART app. Uber options are now shown in BART's multi-modal trip planner along with bus, walk, and bike options. Our Trip Planner is the best in the industry IMO and with this change, we can fill gaps in the transit network. Thank you Chris Margaronis and the Uber Transit team for the partnership and sharing your data with BART, Alexander Wehmeyer and the Siemens Mobility team for your work on our Trip Planner and TransSIGHT for your work on the integration. And BART's Ravindra Misra and Angela W. for your vision and leadership. IMAGE: A bunch of BART execs point happily to a banner that advertises "BART does Uber? Book your trip with the official BART app."
Convinced BART's LinkedIn presence is just ragebait
From trying and observing all the pilot fare gates so far, here's my ranking:
1. Conduent
2. STraffic
3. No build - current turnstiles
4. No turnstiles
5. Heat death of the universe
7. Cubic
You know you’re cooking when the scheming switches from Teams to Signal
Unfortunately those are outside of the CPUC remit, unless such facilities are operated by a public utility.
