A smoother journey begins now. 🚄

Siemens Mobility has shipped its first trainset featuring an Auxiliary Power Coach—designed & built in Sacramento for @Amtrak.

Seamless transitions between electric & diesel power = a more reliable, uninterrupted journey.

Today #SEPTA deployed its first digital real-time arrival display at a bus stop in South Philadelphia as part of a pilot program to bring more real-time information to riders. 🥳

SEPTA installed the first device at the northeast corner of Broad St & Oregon Av which serves Bus Routes 7, 63, and 68. Nine more devices are coming to Bus stops as well as T, G, D, and M stops/stations across the system:

• 40th St Trolley Portal (T2, T3, T4 & T5)
• Schuylkill Av & JFK Blvd (9, 44, 62, 124 & 125)
• Stadium Station (M1)
• Girard Av & Broad St (G1)
• Girard Av & Front St (5 & G1)
• City Av & Presidential Blvd (1, 44 & 65)
• Drexel Hill Junction Station (D1 & D2)
• 52nd St & Market St (52)
• Allegheny Av & Kensington Av (60)

Pilot locations were selected based on two key criteria: overall customer impact and geographic equity.

The screens are solar-powered, use e-paper technology, and are unique because they are small enough to be mounted on a bus stop sign pole. Each device is equipped with a text-to-speech button which gives blind and low-vision riders access to the same real-time service information.

Knowing when the next vehicle will arrive was a top priority for many of the 20,000 riders who participated in the comprehensive community engagement efforts for our New Bus Network.

🚆 On vous dévoile en direct du site d’Alstom à Crespin (59) la toute première rame du futur #MI20, qui circulera sur le @RERB !

Construit par le groupement @AlstomFrance et @CAF_France en partenariat avec @RATPgroup et @Actu_Transilien, ce nouveau #train va changer votre quotidien : jusqu’à 35 % de place en plus, la #clim, une accessibilité au top, la vidéoprotection et une fiabilité accrue pour une meilleure régularité.

[High Speed Rail Alliance @HSRail]

Not sure this should be on the state’s priority list. Maybe, increase spending on trains instead.

[Randy Clarke @wmataGM]

If someone ever questions the value of transit investments show them these receipts ….50% LONGER driving than riding the E Line from Santa Monica to Downtown.

THEY DID IT!
@metrolosangeles ACTUALLY DID IT!
🤯🤯🤯

[Effective Transit Alliance @eta_ny]

NY's Penn Station is clogged by trains. Thankfully, there's a solution that does not involve costly reconstruction: through-running.

In a newly public report from last year, ETA illustrates how the region can use Metro-North Penn Access to build a truly regional rail network.

[Amtrak @Amtrak]

HBD TO US!!!! 🎈5️⃣5️⃣🎈

[Randy Clarke @wmataGM]

A 🧵with my thoughts:

- Thx you, agree Metro is high quality & we are proud of our recovery driven by safe frequent reliable service.
- Agree we must never stop trying to be efficient using public money smartly
- This misses context of variable vs fixed costs (ridership\labor)

A new one-off trolleybus procurement for Muni! 🚎

The project scope states the intent is to ensure the market availability of Trolleybuses in the US. ✨

Hopefully this means the procurement is for new market entrants like the Solaris Trollino.🤞
