Native Austinite and bus rider. That's like a triple threat.

@KUTnathan I was going to say Burleson and 71, but I have to second MLK at Bundyhill.

If your car can't handle flooring it, you should not be turning left there.

@steeple_b The Rail Commuter Operations Department saw $25.2M in total operating expenses in FY 2024, and ridership was only 542K during that timeframe.

So about $46.5/boarding.

@BayouBikeyBoi Capital Metro owns the tracks out to Giddings, so we are a third of the way there. We just need construction from Giddings to Hempstead and permission from Union Pacific from Hempstead to Houston, assuming the tracks are in a state of good repair.

It may be a bold assumption.

@freddiebehmer It was useful as a student at Northridge living east, but going straight to the Domain was a pain.

I think rail ridership is lacking because it's not integrated well with the bus network. There hasn't been a bus straight from the train to the Domain this whole time.

[W. Markuzmar @DerMarkuzmar]

@freddiebehmer It's felt a tad low on the ridership spectrum on average, but it has days like this where every other seat is taken.

@JBtoohot @averytomascowx The flood pool is extra capacity on the same body of water.

Like when filling a cup with water to drink, you don't fill it to the brim, but it is still a full cup. That is the conservation pool.

The amount that can now be poured before the water spills over is the flood pool.

@RM_Transit We have crosswalk signals around town that say the name of the intersection and the direction it is safe to cross in.

Different intersections have different people talking, and it always makes me smile. My favourite has a noticable country accent, but it is still intelligible.

@chitovela3 Their downtown stations seem much closer together than we plan to build ours.

Good morning.

If I had known that transferring funds from the AMP card account meant that @CapMetroATX would take the physical card away from me, I would not have done it.

Like five people collect these things, and I am one of them.

[W. Markuzmar @DerMarkuzmar]

@freddiebehmer Yes. In the first image, where you would catch the 4 and the 5.

[W. Markuzmar @DerMarkuzmar]

@JackCraver Yes, if you live closer to Berkman. Crossing 35 on Dean Keeton rather than on Airport might also help dodge congestion during rush hour.

[W. Markuzmar @DerMarkuzmar]

@KUTnathan I did blame Capital Metro for the AMP card working so poorly. I found it strange how they never fixed it and just decided to retire it instead.

Now it makes sense. I will stop blaming them.

@TheATX1 Are there more mid-rises under development these days? It feels like there's more coverage, but it could just be people switching their focus like you.

[W. Markuzmar @DerMarkuzmar]

@KUTnathan 273 pages a day for the next 60 days?!

@jamesrambin If the people that live around that crummy parking lot behind Metropolitan are upset, then I'm happy. Make it taller.
