Welcome to my Profile! Here I post whatever crap I feel like and sometimes do Transit Adventure Threads, which are all linked below.

As a Bay Area native, there is so much to explore and I encourage you to use transit to get there!

as any rower could tell you, this makes complete sense

[TransitingNerd @NerdTransiting]

mostly thinking about electrification standards, FRA regulations in this era, best mode transit planning practices, future entrenchment, tons of other barriers that arent really barriers and more just: why this is kinda a bad idea (which the article addresses some but not all)

[TransitingNerd @NerdTransiting]

oh god we want to turn the Embarcadero into jack London.

also what the hell this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how railways work...

I see my criticism of the $8.25 billion tunnel between Caltrain and Salesforce triggered some folks.

Here's an interesting idea from 10 years ago: Make alterations so that Caltrain vehicles can run on Muni tracks. https://t.co/l97JRMiok2

@transitnerdery if you can't generate a 15 minute bike shed with map using AI in one prompt, and instead doing it with image gen, you are doing it wrong

@qwackcat @sftusr no I want free ice cream, Safeway bread, and other things that are trivially expensive compared to fresh produce, but for free :)

I am building literally nothing, because the AI Pro sub that came with my $1199 Pixel 10 Pro XL purchase is apparently not a "paid plan" 🫩

[TransitingNerd @NerdTransiting]

@qwackcat oh yeah it’s totally an evil company trying to steal all my data and they probably use it to track me at every move but also I like free ice cream

[TransitingNerd @NerdTransiting]

@qwackcat I mean. They can know my resting heart rate is 46 or that my vo2 max is like 64 I guess?

You just connect parts of apple health I don’t use sleep or mindfulness so

[TransitingNerd @NerdTransiting]

@qwackcat sure but I don’t have the means to sell my own health data

The strangest food from each U.S. state

[Colin @Colin_d_m]

crazy gadgetbahn idea: an express train that never stops and a local train that speeds up to "dock" with it and take out passengers to the next station

[TransitingNerd @NerdTransiting]
