but you had a choice we didnt when we built link but you already had subways and you could have built line 5 as such

yes we suffer with capacity so much in seattle and we have a mostly grade-seperated system and huge trains. party low floor doesnt work too much space is unusable

you've been able to track king county metro buses in real time (including features like being notified when you need to leave to make your bus) since before we invaded iraq

fun fact these open-top buses are the only right-hand drive AD400s built, alexander dennis has only offered the enviro500 in RHD for regular transit use

yes there are some things correct on it, but its generally terrible and looks like its from 2010 and hasnt been updated, which if it was made by who i think made it, is probably true

sound transit DE60LF 9633 at bear creek p&r, it is a 2009 hybrid with two large humps since it has an ac for each cabin, and also larger batteries allowing for more electric-exclusive operation

9633 front cabin only, its large hump spanning most of the cabin is visible. previous DE60LFs only had a small, short hump, that did not include an articulated connection to the rear since they had limited ac & batteries

9633 but at south bellevue on a bright sunny summer day

9633 & XDE60 9672, which has a full roof fairing & a streamlined front, as well as frameless windows (very scary if you're kcm)

tell me this isnt a beautiful bus, and only one of these buses can run exclusively on electric power for periods of time, and it isnt the shiny one

nate silver's eric adams take is even stupider bc why wouldnt the next big political figure be the vp. the last dem vp to do nothing after leaving office was allen w barkley, and every dem vp dating back to lbj was the next big figure and ran for president next election

everyone loves taking the bus until they're running late for class and two people who have never put a bike on a bus before attempt to do so

my transit agency has had the same website since 1997 (1 year less than the original sound move ballot meaure for comparision) so ig i can't really blame them for having a .com domain

capital expenditure funding typically come from entirely different sources than operational expenditures, and money is typically incredibly difficult to shift between expenditure types

very important to remember that george washington basically did what the idf does today, militarily support settler-colonialists who are illegally settling in a place they are explicitly not supposed to be

if they put a crosspver at each station they can probably strech it to 5b/m

very real especially for the pay+benefits that it has. like i would start at $43/h, have paid training, get great benefits, and be unionised (atu). local 587 has been focusing more on safety than wages (very real concern for kcm) so wages arent even that competitive (for bus) and they're still great
