Cars bad, trains and bikes good. NYC, Maryland, Boston, Tokyo. YIMBY. Replace parking minimums with bike parking minimums.

@PhantomCyberTr @Itsjoeco @upzonenj This worked great everywhere on Earth where almost all transit was built by private companies, including almost every single railroad NJT runs on today. Before governments spent trillions of dollars building free roads and driving the trains out of business.

@atlanticesque @TETRAHELI0S Dunno if someone from Jersey would label JC as Hoboken

Guess @ZohranKMamdani’s moving out of his rent-stabilized apartment, just like Cuomo asked for!

@SeligerGrants @schneider Maybe if they had convenient safe bike access they would be able to fill a several hundred bike spot parking garage like in Schiphol airport in Amsterdam

A bill passed by the NYS Legislature banning One-Person Train Operation goes against best practices both across the country and world, and would leave New York’s transit system far behind its peers.

ETA asks Gov Hochul to not allow this regressive bill to become law.

BREAKING: Cuomo has fled the NYC mainland following its fall to socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sources say he will establish a new govt on Staten Island with the goal of eventually reclaiming the entire city. Mamdani has promised to purge all remaining Cuomintang on the mainland.

WISE CHOICES MR. MAYOR!

We have been vaccinating people for 50 years. If vaccines caused autism, then North America would be covered in a web of intricate, slightly idiosyncratic bus, tram and train systems.

@nycpix If you can’t understand RCV you’re too stupid to be voting and shouldn’t be allowed to

@2024dion @DanCigarette @CompletedStreet Are there any DDIs anywhere with more than a rounding error of pedestrian volumes?

[Repositioning Play @GoodGuyGuaranty]

Most big city residents want a Bloomberg-esque mayor - technocratic, rich enough to ignore special interests, capable of attracting a talented bureaucratic corps. Only a few cities can consistently attract them. It’s odd that NY has gone so long without one (and will continue to)

[Daniel Trubman @dmtrubman]

Automating the Metro in DC would produce tremendous benefits for whole region, but transit unions don't actually care about quality of transit service.

Maybe that's fine, but at some point progressive transit advocates need to accept these folks don't share our priorities.

@wmataGM Please don’t waste the space on the sign with this message, everybody knows fares are required including 100% of the people who don’t pay. This makes it harder to see what bus is coming and is bad UX. Simply have plainclothes fare enforcers fine evaders and kick them off the bus.

The Transit Costs Project, including ETA's Alon Levy, released its proposal for establishing world-class HSR on the NEC.

It offers a comprehensive plan for cost-effective modernization based on global best practices for faster, more reliable service.

Check it out now!

@HenryGB_274 @RalphAichinger @LinkofSunshine The NEC is fully grade separated except for one or two tiny boat ramp access roads in CT, and it’s basically a given that any greenfield HSR lines are going to be fully grade separated. CAHSR, Brightline West, the Orlando/Tampa extensions of Brightline, Texas Central are all
