Melbourne tram with a bee logo

Melbourne tram with a bee logo

🐝Why do 5 #Melbourne trams have a bee logo? Because back in 2008 during a patronage surge, the government leased 5 surplus trams from Mulhouse in France. They were shipped over and put into service in their original yellow livery, for which they were nicknamed β€œBumblebees”.

these look like saved stops that didn't migrate to v3 properly - do they also appear in the app on your phone? if so, just swipe them horizontally to delete them

Video shows R subway train stolen in NYC, taken for joyride Police are searching for three people they say stole an R subway train over the weekend and posted their joyride on social media.

Sowing: Hell yeah, I'm in control of the damn R train baby!
Reaping: [10 minutes later, exhausted] "Let 'em off, people, let 'em off. Please do not hold the doors, there is another train just behind this one. Step in and stand clear, 28th Street, 28th Street is next."

Driving blind: NYC subways steered by 1930s tech, paper maps and a lot of hope Ever experience a subway delay at DeKalb Avenue near the foot of the Manhattan bridge? Thank Great Depression era-tech.

Great peek at the 1930s era signalling still in use on New York's B, D, N, Q and R lines gothamist.com/news/driving...

if they gave us raw location only i’m sure we could do a better job than what they’re doing currently

App update time! NextThere 3.0.13 is here: the Christmas bus tracker is back (and in Brisbane this year now too!) and we have new detailed on-time running graphs that let you visualise an incident

they don’t even have it in their own app! bit of a head scratcher what the hold up is here, their vendor are experienced at producing real-time feeds

Kansas City Looks Back on its Long, Costly Ride With Microtransit Since 2016, the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority has offered door-to-door trips from on-demand shuttles. Here’s what the transit operator has learned.

On demand buses are a waste of money, what a shock www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

oh yep can see it left Arncliffe on time, then stopped at SM670 signal between Arncliffe and Wolli Creek between 08:23 and 08:29. suspect it probably got updated to +5min late at 08:29 once it moved to the next signal. will make some enquiries with the folks who manage that system

do you know which station/time/direction that was? we can replay train movements, can take a look what happened there

we prefer to be optimistic by giving you the earlier possible arrival time: better to wait a few minutes unsure than give a later estimate and risk missing it. but we could be clearer in our status message here what’s going on than just saying β€œNext stop”, we’ll look at this

what’s happening here is the driver has got to Clarence St, pulled over and turned off the tracker, so the location timestamp on the bus is frozen in time. it’s impossible to know whether it’s still there or continuing on with a broken tracker - there’s lots of reasons a bus may intermittently track
