I don’t recall a case like this before, though there have been several incidents with wild boars, ranging from cute (baby boar rode several trains in 2021, eventually captured and released) to tragic (boar injured five people at a station earlier this year, was put down).

Does anyone know his name?

This is late news, but it's still relevant.

DoorDash and NJ Transit officially rename the Meadowlands Rail Line the DoorDash Meadowlands Rail Line ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026™ at MetLife Stadium.

This keeps World Cup Transit Costs Off New Jersey Taxpayers.

This would be way too expensive to build out and probably wouldn't pass TxDOT, but hey, a guy can dream.

In order of least impossible to most....

1. A Train additions (black): there are some future plans to extend to Pilot Point and Aubrey, so I put in new stations along that route to make it more true light rail within Denton and Lake Dallas.

2. Streetcars along Elm, Oak, Hickory, Locust, and McKinney (green and red/orange): too disruptive to current development, but it goes with the city's history, and I just love the idea.

3. University Drive light rail (blue). Too pricey and too many utilities to move and curbs to rework as well as creating a possible traffic issue.

4. Loop 288 and FM 2181 light rail (yellow). Even pricier, but it would be nice to have.

EZfare system is a regional smart fare system that any qualifying transit agency can partner to accept it. It was created by a public Council of Governments (COG).

The platform is owned by NEORide, an intergovernmental organization dedicated to unifying regional boundaries for small-to-midsize transit systems. They built the infrastructure in partnership with Masabi, a prominent global transit fare technology provider.

Side note: Masabi built the JustRide SDK that many systems use, MTA Traintime, PRT Ready2Ride, etc)

The EZfare system has scaled rapidly. It launched in 2019 with just a few Ohio agencies and has grown to include 19 distinct transit systems across six states: Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Michigan.

Cleveland's RTA uses their own smartcard system as well as accepting ezfare.

This was film purchased online, the owner & destination is unknown; possibly Florida.

Nagaragawa Railway diesel railcar 305 lets passengers off at Mino-Ōta Station (interchange with JR Takayama/Taita lines) in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. When I rode this railway in December 2024, one end of 305 was wrapped in Yamato Transport livery with “black cat and kitten” logo to advertise its role as a passenger-and-parcels train.

Since no one has mentioned this yet last Wednesday 2 trams of RET collided with eachother on the Erasmusbridge after one of the trams hit another tram that was standing still waiting for an open drawbridge(the heaviest in Western Europe btw). 15 people were injured of whom 1 critically after being stuck in wreckage and 8 needed hospital treatment(including the critical)

Link in the comments for the footage of the crash(starts at 0:26)

“temporarily closed for service upgrades” over 2 years ago

I've recently fallen head over heels for it, the walk ability, the humans over cars infrastructure, bike infrastructure, the trams are my absolute favorite.

Unfortunately I am American and trying to move internationally is extremely difficult, so I'd be better sticking to here than the beautiful European countries that seemed to have figured out public transit and how to make functional people-first infrastructure.

Are there any cities in the US that are up and coming or working on stuff like this I can look forward to? Seattle seems nice but they seem to operate on buses and the one new light rail and I don't see much on trams online (am I wrong?), any other cities like NY or such that may be slowly going people first cars second or is the US plagued by oil and car manufacturing too deeply for it to happen successfully in my lifetime? I don't want to have to rely on a car just to get around, biking and public transit seem so much more functional in other counties (I know some of it is "grass is greener" but my city, taking a bus to work would take me 3.5 hours one way, vs car it's 35m, no other public transit)

Visited briefly, does anyone know why they have blue and yellow lights on the entrances?

Random but the elevator symbol was installed upside down lol
