Seattle Link Light Rail just hit an ALL-TIME RIDERSHIP RECORD. 4.7 million riders in May, up 49% from last year, and the World Cup hasn’t even started yet 🚊

Two open houses are planned this month to discuss efforts to expand the KC Streetcar north over the Missouri River into North Kansas City.

First trip open to the public after 3 years with tram #5984 🥰
After raising power supply from 600 V to 750 V it needed a while to adapt the historical fleet. Was worth the waiting 😍

NYC is finally getting its FIRST modern light rail line 🚆
The Interborough Express would create something New York has never had before: a direct rail connection between Brooklyn and Queens that doesn't require going through Manhattan.
The project would:
👥 Serve 900,000 residents
🔄 Connect to 17 subway lines
🚉 Link with the LIRR
⏱️ Cut some trips from over an hour to minutes
The wildest part? It uses an existing rail corridor that’s been sitting there for decades.
This is the type of project that reminds you New York is still playing an entirely different game than the rest of America.

2/2...but at least they run that 'vintage car #100' for a few hours on a round course near the depot. Better than nothing. So now looking forward for the 150th anniversary in 15 years 🥳
Visiting #Torun for the 'open doors' day at the #tram depot. To be honest I expected more since there is so much to see but focus this time was on the new electric buses...1/2

🇦🇹 Aujourd’hui a été mise en service la 1ère nouvelle rame Flexity du réseau de tramway de Graz en Styrie.
Baptisée « Theodora » du nom de Theodora Acham, première conductrice de tram à Graz en 1988.
Ce fut aussi l’occasion de dévoiler la nouvelle voix des tramways de Graz.
System plan we are actively pursuing including:
1. System-wide Capacity and Reliability Study (Royals)
2. 18th and Vine
3. Northrail resumption
4. Midtown East-West Streetcar Spine
Last night I had the chance to watch the first EVER @PurpleLineMD test train reach UMD Campus! A historic moment for the project, can’t wait to see testing continue on & off campus over the coming months!
Zweimal gingen die Brücken-Bauarbeiten am Marzahner Knoten in die Verlängerung. Nach sieben langen Monaten Ersatzverkehr fahren die Tramlinien M6 und 16 wieder durch ins Zentrum. Angekündigt waren ursprünglich nur zwei Monate Unterbrechung. https://t.co/hirwAulfrU
🚋 Bývalé tramvaje z Bernu pomohly zmodernizovat a zkapacitnit tramvajový provoz ve Lvově. Ex bernské vozy jsou často vidět na linkách 1 a 6.

Seit heute gibt es wieder Straßenbahnen auf der Marzahner Brücke. Ab Samstag Betriebsbeginn dann auch mit Fahrgästen.
Diese temporäre Streckenführung auf der Straßenbrücke wird in dieser Form so bis etwa Jahresende 2027 benutzt werden.
