as a point of comparison, there was a grand total of 862 million airline passengers in the US in 2023.
the New York City subway is the most significant piece of transportation infrastructure in the entire country.
There’s probably some middle aged Ecuadorian woman a few seats down who is more confused than she will ever be in her life and that is what makes New York so beautiful
Another new airline for @DFWAirport 😱
Cathay Pacific announces it will begin flying from Hong Kong (HKG) to Dallas (DFW) using a 4x weekly A350-1000 starting April 24:
• CX898 Depart HKG 4:05 PM Arrive DFW 5:55 PM
• CX897 Depart DFW 11:55 PM Arrive HKG 5:05 AM (+2 days)
@NYCTBus@AirlineFlyer Appreciate the response, I have encountered this issue in the past too with the Q70 where buses start bunching due to congestion on Broadway leading to lots of riders at Jackson Heights. I am kindly suggesting if buses can possibly be short turned to reduce bunching and crowding
@NYCTBus Why are there 4 Q70s bunched together? Could one of these have short turned at Jackson Heights? Lots of people at Jackson Heights waiting 20 min anxious for their flights.

🚄 America's high-speed rail era is here! We operate America’s fastest train (Acela up to 150 mph) and see big potential for HSR beyond the Northeast.
Discover why we believe Dallas ↔️ Houston is a prime candidate for HSR, from Amtrak President Roger Harris and SVP Andy Byford.
Very bad week for transportation safety:
1. Japan Airlines runway incursion in Tokyo killing 5
2. NYC Subway train derailment: major impacts still being felt 24 hrs+ later
3. Alaska Air Boeing 737 MAX fuselage rips open inflight and an unoccupied seat flies out
According to this Reddit post, #ASA1282 from PDX to ONT tonight lost a window and unoccupied seat and experienced a rapid decompression after takeoff. The plane landed back at PDX safely. #avgeeks@AirlineFlyer@flightradar24
Have reached out to both Alaska Airlines and Boeing on this. The aircraft involved was a brand new 737 Max 9 delivered to the airline at the end of October. This is an extremely hazardous and also rare occurrence.
It is a complete policy failure that the Arlington TX Entertainment District was allowed to develop without ANY public transportation options. Expensive surface lots galore…
